While there are a few PocketPCs that can act as an USB host (my aging FSC PocketLoox 720 comes to mind), it wouldn't be easy to find drivers supporting the camera on Windows Mobile...]]>Sep 18th 2008 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/Sep 18th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/Sep 18th 2008 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/
I'm sure canon would be interested in this little mod.]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/I got one link for you guys.!

WRT GarJE - I am sure Canon is loving it - but calling up Nintendo and telling them you did 'bad things' to their game system doesn't go over well.. Perhaps they can form a formal partnership?]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/Sep 18th 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/
Intervalometers are very useful, not just for bracketing:

1- More precise intervelometer
2-Larger bracketing than camera allows
3-better battery and less bright than laptop + instant on
4-Longer times exposures than 30 seconds
5-Play mario cart when you're bored

My in-camera intervelometer and in camera 9 brackets suffice for me. I would imagine if i had my old body and didnt have the money to upgrade, this would be my next logical choice.]]>Sep 18th 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/Sep 18th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/
If it was actually controlling the camera (exposure time, aperture, and so on) via the USB port, that would be possible. But AFAIK those are not controllable via the shutter release interface.]]>Sep 18th 2008 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/It is not my opinion, it is an article summary.
"Where the Canon 5D can do a bracket of three shots, spread two stops apart, and the latest 1DS MKIII series can do a nine shot bracket, the “DS-DSLR” can do any number of shots, and if I don’t like the way it does it, I can rewrite the software to do it better."

Case in Point:
"This was a 16 shot range that was meant to expose for the full moon rising in the last frame of the pano."

It is software, so it can theoretically tweak any control imaginable.

This dealie can also take more than nine shots, which may be overkill, or may be useful for low light photography.]]>Sep 18th 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/Sep 19th 2008 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.idruna.com/pocketphojo.html]]>Sep 19th 2008 5:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/nintendo-ds-hacked-to-control-dslr-shooting/Sep 19th 2008 7:41PM
