Default Hack Your DSLR to Shoot Video

http://www.photographyblog.com/inde...o_to_your_dslr/

"Canon Rumors has linked to a downloadable Russian program that apparently enables video on any Canon DSLR that has Live View, whilst Olivier Giroux has captured video using the Nikon D700."

Some programmers have created a hack that lets Canon DSLRs with live view and the Nikon D700 to shoot videos.  The problem is you must have the camera connected to a computer.  This sounds similar to the CHDK hacked firmware that enables features on certain Canon digital cameras.  This is for the daring because if you mess up your firmware, it can void your warranty.

Seems like a neat trick, but what Nikon really needs to do is add some kick-ass 1080p video capture to their cameras. Though I'd happily settle for having 720p on my D300...

And a proper codec. h.264 please?

And less wobble too. That'd be nice.
