I have a chance to get a Canon DSLR, model DS6041.

Is this the same as the Canon 300D?

If so, I've read that some "patches" are required to bring this
particular camera up to snuff. ;)

Any advice, in fact ALL advice, is much appreciated.

I believe the 300D/DS6041 came out in Aug 2003.

That's an older model than the Rebel 300D, Ruthus. A better camera, just
older. Proceed with caution. You may want to consider just getting a new
Rebel 300D since the price on that model has dropped considerably since the
350D/XT came out. Or just spurg and get the 350D/XT and be happy with a very
impressive piece of work (almost as good as the 20D which is the replacement
for the 10D)

Take care,
Linda

also the 10D cannot take the newer EF-S Canon lenses. The Rebel, Rebel XT
and 20D can. Most new Canon lenses will likely be EF-S.

However, it looks like the new Canon 5D will not take EF-S

That's a whole different class of dSLR from Canon. None of the professional
level dSLRs [Mark series or 5D) include the ability to use EF-S lenses. The
EF-S lens is targetted toward the entry level/intermediate, consumer
affordable, bodies (300D, 350D/XT, 20D). Those customers are not likely
going to be buying too many lenses at 1000-12,000+ a pop like the pro
consumers would (L glass)

Take care,
Linda
