Is mirror-lock up feature only suitable for shooting with tripod?
I have tried mirror-lock up while in Korea handheld, but using contiuous shooting mode to speed up opening and closing of aperture. :think:
will upload pics for comments. (How to upload and paste pics here?)

I've never tried shooting with mirror lock-up handheld with my EOS 30, only with a tripod. Not sure if by handholding will it cause image blurness so i simply use a tripod with cable release.
 

Mirror lockup is used to minimise the shake caused by a snapping mirror. This is used in low light conditions so I don't see how you want to shoot without a tripod. Sure, it can work without a tripod, but at normal light conditions, you don't need to use mirror lockup.
 

MLU normally for macro or night shots where u want to minimise camera shake caused by mirror slap. Is there even a MLU mode for 300D?? unless you're using a hack?
 

Yes, I have done the hack, ver 1.1.1
Below are 3 shots taken with mirror-lockup and continous mode. It does help me to prevent camera shake. Not sure this what it use to be...
Please comment my pics below.
