Canon's MakerNote data is in IFD format, starting at offset 0.
Some of these tags and fields are only produced on cameras such as the EOS D30, but (to current observation) all this is valid for all Canon digicams (at least since the A50). If the tag is not found, or is shorter than shown here, it simply means that data is not supported by that camera.
