Enterprising coder hacks video capture from Nikon D700 DSLR

Gotta love the DIY spirit! This enterprising coder obtained the Nikon SDK for the D700 DSLR camera, and managed to hack up a way to capture 30fps video from the Live View. Bad news is that it’s not quite 480p, and Nikon’s handling of the sensor information is less than helpful to image quality. Still, it’s an interesting development in the convergence of still/video cameras, and may be of interest to the folks trying to drum up support to hack 24p into the Canon 5D MKII.
