 sure, but I do know that with Canon's eos 1n, you can set a custom function,
 where one one push of the shutter will lock up the mirror and another one
 will release the shutter.  I will admit I was a bit miffed at having to blow
 $35 bucks just to be able to use a conventional cable release on the Eos 1n.

I really hate to have to relay this info, but the Nikon FM10 (the plasticky 
Cosina-made body you can get for $220 with a 35-70 lens) has MLU along with 
the selftimer.  The same camera is available as the Olympus OM2000 as well as 
under another brand (don't remember) in a Pentax K mount.  A friend of mine 
says his EOS Elan has MLU also.
