Is it that much of a difference with a modded 350 than an unmodded one? Besides the colour difference from what i have seen around here, anything else?
thanks for the help so far guys.

I couldn't find anything on the canon website about an adapter to use with12v, but that doesn't mean that there isn't one. You can get battery packs, but I think they only hold 2 of the normal canon batteries. To save onto the computer you need software(eg ImagesPlus). The usb cable (Dick Smith) is just needed to extend the short cable that comes with the camera. The Hap Griffen cable is needed if you want to take bulb exposures with computer control, otherwise you are limited to a max of 30sec. If you control the camera by hand, you can take any exposure you want. I have heard of people making these themselves. From what I remember (you'll have to check this) the shoestring adapter assumes you already have a Canon TC-80N3 remote control (which won't work with the 350D without the adapter). I thought it was easier just to get the whole assembly from Hutech. I have had some trouble directly downloading to the computer--there are occasional hangups, so I just prefer to keep it simple. Take the pictures with the camera, put the memory card in a card reader (about $30 from any camera store) and download to the computer using drag and drop.
