Buy a cheap video camera.

Record the screen on the back of the DSLR.

Voila! You have a super crappy quality video WITH sound.]]>Sep 24th 2008 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/

Am I the only one that thinks video-recording DSLRs are a sign of the coming apocalypse? I'd much prefer better high-ISO performance, faster burst rates, and more bracketing options.]]>Sep 25th 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/
DON'T DO THIS HACK! The Canon DSLR sensor obviously is sensitive, and will damage if you expose it to light too much. (which is what this does to it) The live views for DSLR actually use a separate sensor so the main sensor won't damage.

It's almost silly that someone who pays $1000+ for a DSLR would hack a camera to do silent video, and later on pay the price with a damaged sensor.........imagine someone buying it from him on Ebay]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/

hopefully the 50D can do some snazzy 1080p with the D!G!C 4 processor like the 5DmkII

ALSO - to Chris - it downsamples the image from the main sensor, how the fe ck else do you think you can do 5x and 10x magnification on the fly? =/

I'll give this a go when its out (if its not already out) until i get the 5DmkII in November =D]]>Sep 24th 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 24th 2008 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/
Go to the Canon site and check out the new 5DmkII video sampler, to get a feel for what a DSLR with Video is capable of.

I don't care about sound, either. I always throw out the audio portion and replace it with rocking badass music anyway. So the 40D hack is actually quite tempting, it could save me a grand over the 5DmkII.

...but I want the full-frame sensor, so alas, I will have to keep selling plasma until I can afford it.]]>Sep 24th 2008 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/
Although that canon sampler on their website looked pretty damn good :P]]>Sep 24th 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/
There was no mirror, unlike the current Nikon and Canon DSLRs which can do video as well as stills. The display (electronic ground glass) was VGA-quality, not some crappy electronic display. It's because of the high quality display that I bought the camera as my first digital. I shot many commercial jobs with it until I upgraded to a Nikon D70.

The Minolta A2 electronic display meant the photographer can look through the lens while shooting. You can NOT do this with the Nikon and Canon cameras - you must lock the mirror up and frame the shots on the back of the camera. Not very ergonomic!

I had no interest in shooting videos with the DiMage A2 so can not tell you what the resolution was. But the still resolution was something like 8mb or 10mb. Sorry but the years have dimmed my memory!

The video doesn't show up on the home page. Thus, "break" "cut" .. and several other blog lingoes apply.

You're kidding, right?]]>Sep 25th 2008 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/canon-eos-40d-owner-hacks-camera-records-silent-movie/Sep 25th 2008 4:15AM
