firmware hack for 20d 10d ???
pls advice if there is any firmware hack for the 10 & 20d! they do not have spot metering which i had been using with nikon 99% of my time......
kindly pm me. What a joke!!! canon can produce a consumer digital cam with spotmetering but not the dslr ,only 1 series have spot.Marketing piss some off to turn back to nikon..........  see consumer cam review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...canon_a520.asp http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...canon_a510.asp http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/spec...canon_s230.asp and more,go find out. help,any hacker around.i think to turn the spot metering ,its just a firmware. |

the reason why canon refuse to put spot metering into their consumer DSLR body is becoz they dowan to destroy their own market for the 1D bodies.
common..dont expect everything when you aint paying everything...~they alreadi put the digi II processor onto the 350D and 20D...to me thats already very good. |

i second to that,if you need it for your work then you should invest in the 1 series. point none.

furthermore, not all spotmeters are the same, can u be sure that the spot meters on the P&S you listed are all 1% spotmeter like the D70? anyway, any metering mode can produce great pix... it all depends on the user. |

and isn't d70 spotmeter 5% as mentioned in pop photo..
good grief, just go buy an external spotmeter if you really need it. the 20D and partial metering is very much documented, which if you researched you would have known. so you can't complain, if you wanted a spot meter, buy external or buy a 1D series... besides I don't get what's the diff between 5% and 1% when its very much a percentage of the viewfinder. (and thus the area metered very much varies with the focal length as well) the likelihood of a firmware hack is probably zero. (cos if the 300D hackers couldn't be arsed to put one in, its probably hardware related.) Last edited by loupgarou; 27th February 2005 at 02:37 AM. |
