Add Video to your DSLR
Want to be able to shoot video on your DSLR, but don’t have the money to buy a Nikon D90 or Canon EOS 5D Mark II? Then some enterprising programmers might have just the (completely unofficial and at your own risk) solution for you. 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 (pictured). The catch? (of course there’s a catch). The camera has to be connected to a computer via the USB port, which then captures the signal from Live View mode and converts it to video. So it’s not exactly the most portable video camera in the world. Still, it is free (and as we said before, completely unofficial).
