This should be more than a rumour
Mark Davies:
I have seen on a few photog forums the sad story about cameras getting lost. Now, not to get you all worried, But I was just thinking!!! Why not allow a user to put a security code (like a pin no with a phone etc) into the body of your camera so unless you know the pin you cannot use the camera. With a bit more thought, the pin could be matched to your lenses so if you lose a lens, then unless it is unlocked with the pin then that too is of no use to the nasty person who relieved you of your gear.
What say others? Can we get Canon (and probably other manufacturers) to do such a thing?

Pitbullo:
This would be nice, equipment is very expensive. I do see a problem, software like Magic Lantern would probably not work, since it might be a workaround the PIN-code.
Unless you have to use PIN to install ML...
Bennymiata:
I think that's a great idea.
Another is for cameras with GPS in them, if they get stolen or lost, you could track them on the internet, like you can with an i-Phone.
UrbanVoyeur:
Great ideas. Yes to both pin and GPS locator.
ruuneos:
How anyone have come up with this earlier, that should be in every Canon camera PIN + GPS ( which can turn on via internet ).
Hopefully we're going to see PIN lock prototypes near future!
