It's interesting to note that one of the - expensive - accessories listed for the Canon1D on the B&H site is, or at least was, something -software I assume- that in theory makes it apparent if there has been any alteration what-so-ever in the image as captured by the camera. Of course I assume that there was a hack for this as soon as it was announced. ;-) B.
