Re: [Gphoto-user] Modern cameras that support remote capture

[oli w. <ol...@co...>]

Thanks Simon - much appreciated.  I'm not unduly worried about
consistency, the nice thing about using gphoto2 would be we'll see the
results every photo taken, unlike my experiments with CHDK
(http://www.vimeo.com/17556168) where you just have to hope it's all
working.

What piece of kit are you using?
