What's the jingling sound as I move the camera around?
Two things in the 300D make sounds as you shake/rotate the camera:

- The orientation sensor which detects what orientation you are taking the pictures in. It's a mechanical sensor (presumably a ball bearing in a ring).
- The camera flash has two metal strips that are designed to support the flash when it is popped up. When the flash is down, these strips aren't held tightly against anything and they rattle.
