This apparently has something to do with the max length time of receptivity of the CCD in the camera, and no one at the camera co. could envison a reason you would want to have a camera exposure longer than two minutes
it turns out the B setting is only for 2 minutes max.
So, you just need to keep that CCD cool, and you can eliminate/reduce noise?

2min is pretty good, my Rebel XT goes for 30 seconds although I might be able to get around that with a remote. The max time has very little to do with the camera people not understanding a bulb setting. <snip>

Did you not understand a statement made with tongue firmly in cheek when I made it?
For every hundred thousand people who wants stop action of little Johnny running the bases, there is maybe one who wishes to stand in the cold or the dark with a shutter open for minutes on end. Bingo.

Is everyone that has it still happy with this camera?
