Oh, sure -- Pentax may have thrown one in gratis on its K-7, and Nikon
has done the same on its D3S, but none of that really matters if
you're the proud owner of a Canon, now does it? For those fed up with
accidentally moving their mode dial during a critical shoot, Canon is
now offering a chargeable service for the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 7D
cameras. For the tidy sum of $100, the outfit will install a Mode Dial
with a center-located lock button -- the goal here is to prevent the
wheel from moving during "normal camera operation," while
simultaneously milking an extra Benjamin out of the outfit's loyal
customer base. 'Course, there's a glass half-full / half-empty way to
look at this. You could bang on Canon for not including this from day
one, or you could be grateful to have the option at all. Your move,
cynic.
