Me, for two. As an old "film guy", I'm not bothered by lack of AF.
Just posted an opinion here on it & don't feel like retyping:

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P. More info | Jul 03, 2005 06:51 | #16 Are still there 300D owners with the original firmware? Me, for two. As an old "film guy", I'm not bothered by lack of AF. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

How hard is it to go back to original. You don't need to go back to the original firmware. You will love the hack, believe me.

Thing is, now that I learned the sports mode has the option I was looking for their is no need for me to add the hack. When the time comes for me to get more advanced funtions (because I outgrow the existing options), I will buy a new body. In the meantime, I continue to learn the existing options I have and how to shoot great pictures. If you have the hack and it works for you, great. I am just of the opinion, unless Canon supports it, I do not use it. (Yes, even lenses) Eric: www.avianart.net

The camera is a great camera as far as I'm concerned. But it wasn't long before I wanted mirror lockup, raw-jpeg (yes, minus). So after 4 days of ownership, I ungraded to pre-undutchables. Wehah. It worked get for the rest of the time I had it. I don't know about the undutchables, but If others are happy then go for it. I tested that I could go back so I felt fine.

Titus213 Cream of the Crop More info | Aug 27, 2005 18:43 | #24 I've had our 300D since February and still use the Canon firmware. Coming from the film world it is easy and fast and does things I could never think of doing with my old T70. And besides, I haven't figured out all the functions/settings available on the 300D with the Canon manual. A hack would be confusing to the max. Dave
