From the linked website:
Its been widely known that the Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel and the Canon EOS 10D DSLR's are similar beasts. In fact, if you look at their Side-by-side comparisons you can see that most of the features that vary are catagorized as "Customizable".
The 10D has a menu item called "Custom Functions" which allows these settings to be adjusted. Well, a fellow in Russia found that in the latest firmware, by switching a single byte in the firmware image, he was able to enable most of these 10D "Custom Functions" in the Digital Rebel. Now, some features, such as more frames in rapid shooting, are hardware-limitations but some features lacking such as Flash Exposure Compensation and embedded JPEG quality are found to be working in the 300D.
This is not the 10D firmware, it is the 300D firmware with some of the dormant 10D features enabled. The developers probably shared the codebase between the two models. The 10D firmware will not work on your 300D.
Now, be aware that this Modified firmware will violate your warranty!

Any 300d owners who have tried this?

i've seen this article before but I'm rather hesitant to try it due to having the warranty void.

Hmmm.. if only someone will post the original 300D firmware, so that in case the hack doesn't work, we can always put back the original software.
As for voiding the warranty, I doubt if there's anyway that the Canon guys would know what you did -- there's no physical visual evidence after all.

FEC is nice, but not worth the risk in my opinion. ISO 3200 is not real, according to people who've done test shots, its just an underexposed ISO 1600. AIservo is the feature everybody's waiting for though...

Thanks! So I guess I'll stick with Firmware 1.1.1.

Some reported it works and some don't. Anything can happen... I'm sure you don't want to end up in the middle of the shoot with 'error' on the display :evil:
Kaya buy na lang ng 10D or D70, dibah Jerry... :P
