Canon dSLR owners who wished they had the same HD video recording features like the Canon 5D Mark II might find this little nifty tool with their cameras. I was able to record video using my Canon EOS 40D.
The app is pretty simple — extract the software, connect the USB cable to your dSLR (40D, 1000D, 450D), click on Record, zoom/focus the camera lens manually, click on stop when done.
The raw video output runs at 1024×640 resolution with a bitrate of 55KB/s. Here’s a sample I took and uploaded on YouTube.
The original recorded video was of very good quality although the frame-rate was a bit slow at about 17fps. You can see the original 11 second clip here (41MB).
How about 50D? posible?
