My buddy is in the same boat. He doesn't want to F anything up. The hack is irreversible AFAIK. So if you F it up, the warranty is voided and you're out $1000.

He does mention on his site that you can revert to OEM firmware.

This hack has been out for months...

Phil doesn't allow talking about it on DPReview forums anymore.

Nice to see all you fine people trying to access the page and don't even own a DRebel.

You need one or more of the following:

1) Less coffee

2) More coffee

3) More sex

4) Less sex (in the event you are posting from prison)

5) A soothing upper colonic

6) A few BuSpar® tablets taken with milk and cookies

7) A nice steamy mug of STFU.


Maybe I'll buy one of these cameras in the next few months......this would be good info to know/have, right? Either way, I don't see where you get off telling people to stop trying to access a website. :roll:

Now come on, I wasn't complaining. I simply asked a question.

Judging by the number of responses, it was a pretty good question
