Arbitrary limitations in camera software

[EduPerez]

I haven't looked for a while at the CHDK, but the highest-end camera I have seen cracked (and only partially) was the 40D. Otherwise the CHDK is generally reserved for canon digicams. I was able to make my G9 into a motion sensing camera and use an intervalometer script.

Here is the last thing I heard about a hack for an SLR. http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,2259.0.html

Well, there is Magic Lantern for the 5D2 (and most modern Canon DSLRs); there also exists 400plus for the 400D, and there is some work in progress for the 5D classic here.

That's the Ticket!!!

I hadn't seen Magic Lantern.  It looks promising.  Too bad they don't have it for 7D (redheaded stepchild of canon dslrs).

extended bracketing, trap focus, motion detection or very long exposures

 

COOL!
