As I wrote - you can just hardcode it in some ic when the camera is built, just like Intel used to hardcode a serial number into their PentiumIII processors until they were stopped due to privacy concerns. It's non-changeable and non-erasable, you could just disable it after being entered, and after a battery drain the default setting would be enabled.

I fail to see how a pin would do anything other than frustrate me.
It would still be quite pawnable. And, yes, the thief would have no problems with resetting the beast through some measure.

"Hey, a once-in-a-lifetime-shot, quick I have 2 seconds to get it ... "
BEEP: Please enter your PIN
Canon will never do it, besides the glass is where the money is.
This is why I have Pelican lockable cases cabled to my car/trunk. Any security measure is ultimately defeatable but this isn't a bad solution.

I don't think Canon will do it either: but "Hey, a once-in-a-lifetime-shot, quick I have 2 seconds to get it ... "
WTF! I had my gear stand next to me for just a second, and now it's gone!

The Pin was entered wrong 3 times. Camera will now self-destruct!
