Is the wasia and undutchables hack about the same ?

[mdm]

Which one is best? I like the raw + jpeg idea and the sports mode with raw. Any advice would be helpful.

The undutchables came after Wasia series of hacks stopped. I am not sure what the Undutchables added to the Wasia. But since it was incremental, it became my first choice.

I then read a lot of posts to see if there any known issues with Undutchables - didnt seem like a lot. So, I've been on Undutchables for a month now - 3 days after I got my camera. No issues but to be honest, have'nt used too many of the hacks except for testing.

I have had the Wasia Hack for almost a year now with no problem, I have also read that there are some crashing issues with some of the advanced functions with the undutchables that are known. The only reason I would consider the Undutchables is RAW in sports mode, but I feel much better in just using one of the known tricks of kicking the camera into Servo.

One of the downsides of the hacks was supposed to be a 'low battery indicator' even when its not so low.

I have seen it on my Drebel - with the last bar, the battery goes on forever.

Anyone heard of a solution to that or have a workaround to figuring out how low the battery really is.

I put the undutchables hack on and went through the menu and set it up. put raw with small jpeg and put one shot setting. Everything is working good.

I am very nervous about installing the undutchables hack... but think that I need (want) to. Can you point me in the right direction of where to download it. I did a google search... and must say some of the locations i was pointed to, i am not real keen on downloading anything from!

Yes there are hacks for the Drebel. It give some of the function from 10D. The ones I use are RAW+, Flash Exposure Comp (FEC), and Flash Sync in Av mode (1/200).

Read what upgrades it gives you to see if you really need them. I like being able to shoot raw in the basic mode. And your able to shoot raw+jpeg. 3200 iso instead of 1600. mirror lockup, exposure increments 1/2 or 1/3 stop,af of, af os, af se focus. You can download the 10d from the canon website to check it out.

Oh I read that low battery display shows up sometimes even when charged. I haven't seen that and haven't had any problems.

I've erad that the low battery bug appears only if u use a lot the CANCEl button after having taken the puicture

I have had Undutchables since day two of buying my DSLR and never a single glitch, lock up, or anything. I never even think about it being a risk. I don't think it is. I believe that a lock up can occur with changing from language to another after installation ... but who would do that unless they just HAD to fiddle for no reason :lol: The PDF file that comes with it explains functional improvements and known issues.
