Download Hacked Firmware for Canon EOS 300D / Canon Digital Rebel / Canon Kiss Digital Cameras

Want some of the features of Canon's EOS 10D camera on your existing 300D?

Useful things like FEC (Flash Exposure Compensation)?

Your 300D / Digital Rebel camera already has these features, but they've been switched off in software.

Both Wasia and The UnDutchables have come up with these brilliant firmware hacks

Sometimes the files are hard to get hold of, the foreign servers slow and overloaded so I've mirrored the files here.

It's not going to be the same as buying a 40D or even a 400D but will breathe new life into your 300D

Note

These hacked firmware files are only for Canon EOS 300D / Kiss / Digital Rebel digital SLRs - they will not work on a Canon 350D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 400D, 450D camera or any other Canon camera

For other Canon cameras take a look at CHDK firmware hacks here

Since creating this page I no longer own an EOS 300D (a great digital camera that prompted me to upgrade to a Canon EOS-1D MkII).

When I did have my 300D I used the hacks without any problems and know of plenty of other people who have too.  It's at your own risk though, don't try upgrading the firmware unless your camera is powered from the mains or a freshly charged camera battery.

You can always go back to your camera's original Canon EOS firmware, the latest version of which is available at the Canon website.

If this is your first time using hacked 300D firm ware you can read more about the firmware updating process on one of these web pages:-
