Baltimore Sun photographer David Hobby (Strobist) has posted the first part of his guide to "hacking" your camera's sync speed, although in reality the technique uses built-in features in specific cameras and the end result is exactly what the manufacturers intended.

Note that the refurbished Nikon D70s mentioned in the article can also be obtained in the UK. For example there are loads of them listed on the Jessops web site for a very reasonable £380 with a 17-80mm lens or £320 for just the body.
