<strawberyargon> FLOSS HW+SW camera: https://www.apertus.org/opensource
<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.
<DocScrutinizer05> and for nikon the hackers just started it seems
<wpwrak> yeah. especially chdk has been around forever. most things are not that useful, but a few are. e.g., viewfinder improvements.
<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
<DocScrutinizer05> ooh, motion detection, even scripting
* DocScrutinizer05 drools over those features
<DocScrutinizer05> while for DL24 it's unclear if you could attach a remote trigger button
<DocScrutinizer05> Nikon android app must be the damn worst app I ever heard of, according to customer rating
<DocScrutinizer05> the few 5star ratings are clearly by accident
<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)
<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
<DocScrutinizer05> I forgot to add: used
<DocScrutinizer05> and still, I don't know if that might be the smarter choice
<DocScrutinizer05> check 4th choice in multiple-choice poll on http://www.diyphotography.net/the-ultimate-custom-firmware-for-any-camera-roundup/ :-P
<DocScrutinizer05> >>(_) I just sold all my Nikon Gear and moving to Canon's Magic Lantern<<
<DocScrutinizer05> sure, a 5D Mk-III, you could prolly afford that when you sell all your 12 Nikon cams
<DocScrutinizer05> then otoh they made whole TV series episodes with 5D only
<strawberyargon> also search sony firmware hack or something, theres some bits for various cams by the looks of it
<strawberyargon> for a action cam theres on flash sale this £160 better than gopro hero4. way better low light too!
<strawberyargon> auto<something> scripts work on it for some level of habitability
<strawberyargon> lkcl from rhombus-tech/eoma68 wants to make a libre eoma68 camera too
<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/
<DocScrutinizer05> I need a camera that can do macros of 10*10mm from a *minimum* distance of 300mm aka 30cm or more
<DocScrutinizer05> alas this rules out all consumer and most prosumer cams with fixed lens
<DocScrutinizer05> FOSS or hacked firmware would only be a very-nice-to-have
<DocScrutinizer05> "viewfinder" via USB or HDMI though is a must
<DocScrutinizer05> and ideally remote control since the camera isn't exactly handheld in the planned usecase
<DocScrutinizer05> maybe I should get me a decent 150mm macro lens and mount a dirt cheep sensor or webcam to it

<strawberyargon> people replace/swap the lens on action cams like the mobius
<strawberyargon> maybe that could be used?
<strawberyargon> petapixel link was good too see what can be/has been done, thx
