A professional photographer with Panocamera.com was tired of toting his laptop around on his shoots, so he thought, "What would MacGyver do?" And he modified a Nintendo DS into a remote control for his Canon
DSLR.
The process, documented at Panocamera, involved using a devkitPro toolset to write a program for the Nintendo DS to control the DSLR. And then connecting the camera to the game device required some tampering of ports and pin connectors.
Pretty neat stuff -- though it's much easier said than done, to the average techy at least. Panocamera is pondering selling this "mod"
eventually for various DSLRs.
