Canon EOS Rebel (300D) Firmware question???

Hi all, was wondering if anyone knew if the canon firmware 1.1.1 was the very last update for this camera??? I drug this one out of the old bag and thought I would play with it... noticed that it did have an updated Firmware update... but couldn't find anything higher.... SO here we are.... I forgot how nice this camera was....

Also, another thing, is there any way to see how many exposures this camera has made... I can do it on my olympus camera... anything????

thanks

Re: Canon EOS Rebel (300D) Firmware question???

There is an alternative firmware for the 300D, based on 1.1.1, that enables some features Canon decided to leave out at that time. It's called the "UnDutchables firmware" and enables a.o  MLU, Custom Functions, and ISO3200.

You can download it here: http://www.digitalrebel.nl/firmware.html

I used it all the time, no problems.

You shouldn't be afraid of this alternative firmware, I used it for years on my 300D, without any problem.
