p.1 #1 · Hacker Makes Canon EOS 40D Record Video


I hope not old news, but as a Nikonian I know Canon can use all good news they can get.

http://gizmodo.com/5054003/hacker-makes-canon-eos-40d-record-video

I did not check how good or bad this info is, but maybe interesting nevertheless.

Best,

Hendrik

Not if you consider that various clips of the video are footage from the camera itself, and there is no video cable attached to it.

still seems like it could be smoke and mirrors especially considering there is nothing telling us how to do it... anyways maybe i am just too skeptical...

I second that scam as well...I'm a little skeptical of that myself. That's like showing pictures of a dead big foot and saying that you found it in the woods and stuck it in your freezer to preserve it. They showed everyone...they showed pictures and short videos to show the diseased big foot in their freezer. Wait a minute, that turned out to be a scam.

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be great, but I highly doubt Canon has video built into the 40D and chose to hide it. NOT!!!

Nice thought though.

how do you think he did it then? it's not that hard to implement video on a digicam with live view.
oh and... Canon has definitely hidden features before on their rebel series.

Well done, you posted to the exact same video and coder, which he only added to the page recently (September the 15th), and was on Engadget the day before yesterday.
