| 00:59.22 | wpwrak | hmm, hard times for canon users. pick the total overkill tool, or just the grandmaster of the universe ? decisions, decisions. meanwhile, things seem considerably easier for other brands: tweak a few video parameters, drop a couple of restrictions. |
| 01:00.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | and for nikon the hackers just started it seems |
| 01:01.37 | wpwrak | yeah. especially chdk has been around forever. most things are not that useful, but a few are. e.g., viewfinder improvements. |
| 01:01.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | not that I'd already expect a DL24 firmware - actually I checked and I'm surprised that Saturn already offers them DL24-500, though that could be fake as well |
| 01:02.18 | DocScrutinizer05 | ooh, motion detection, even scripting |
| 01:02.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | drools over those features |
| 01:03.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | while for DL24 it's unclear if you could attach a remote trigger button |
| 01:04.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | Nikon android app must be the damn worst app I ever heard of, according to customer rating |
| 01:04.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | the few 5star ratings are clearly by accident |
| 01:07.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'm still torn apart between Canon awesome FOSS firmware hacks and Nikon DL24 entire UX (minus the hackability and lack of obvious remote control features) |
| 01:09.25 | DocScrutinizer05 | alas a Canon for same pricetag like DL24, with same (assumed) macro capabilities would be a 5DMk1 with only 12 Mpx and a primary lens with ~150mm |
| 01:10.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | I forgot to add: used |
| 01:11.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | and still, I don't know if that might be the smarter choice |
| 01:14.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | check 4th choice in multiple-choice poll on http://www.diyphotography.net/the-ultimate-custom-firmware-for-any-camera-roundup/ :-P |
| 01:15.05 | DocScrutinizer05 | >>(_) I just sold all my Nikon Gear and moving to Canon's Magic Lantern<< |
| 01:15.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | sure, a 5D Mk-III, you could prolly afford that when you sell all your 12 Nikon cams |
| 01:17.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | then otoh they made whole TV series episodes with 5D only |
| 01:33.04 | strawberyargon | also search sony firmware hack or something, theres some bits for various cams by the looks of it |
| 01:37.38 | strawberyargon | for a action cam theres on flash sale this £160 better than gopro hero4. way better low light too! |
| 01:37.40 | strawberyargon | http://www.gearbest.com/action-cameras/pp_360137.html?wid=11 |
| 01:38.21 | strawberyargon | auto<something> scripts work on it for some level of habitability |
| 01:39.54 | strawberyargon | lkcl from rhombus-tech/eoma68 wants to make a libre eoma68 camera too |
| 01:43.41 | strawberyargon | i think this was the page... i remembered there being more info... maybe it was a mailing list post http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/camcorder/ |
| 01:46.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | I need a camera that can do macros of 10*10mm from a *minimum* distance of 300mm aka 30cm or more |
| 01:47.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | alas this rules out all consumer and most prosumer cams with fixed lens |
| 01:48.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | FOSS or hacked firmware would only be a very-nice-to-have |
| 01:49.24 | DocScrutinizer05 | "viewfinder" via USB or HDMI though is a must |
| 01:50.08 | DocScrutinizer05 | and ideally remote control since the camera isn't exactly handheld in the planned usecase |
| 01:51.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | maybe I should get me a decent 150mm macro lens and mount a dirt cheep sensor or webcam to it |
| 01:53.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | sth like this https://petapixel.com/2015/09/14/using-a-mobile-phone-camera-sensor-with-a-nikon-f-lens/ |
