If you have firmware version 1.1.1, which was released in 2003, you have the latest (see the Canon 300D page at the bottom).

The startup time of the 300D is the same as my 10D; a few seconds. The new versions of these cameras are much much faster. That's the pain we suffer being "early adopters" :-)

Thanx, that's life. Are there any unofficial FW hacks that shortens the start-up time?

Start up time is a hardware issue, not a software issue. So there won't be any improvements on start up time with any firmware hacks.
