Canon EOS 5D arrives

Today I fetched my first DSLR camera, the Canon EOS 5D. It looks and feels cool. :-) Compared to my full-manual Canon FTb from 1973, this thing is full of electronics and automation.

We'll see if I can tame the beast in the time coming. Unluckily, since it's winter time again, I won't be able to take any daylight shots until the coming weekend.

As a side note, I did quick checking if there is any information available on custom firmware development/programming for this camera.

I didn't find anything for 5D or 20D for that matter, but there was plenty of information regarding 300D. It uses a NEC processor which to me seems like a x86 compatible one, but I could be wrong. In any case, some kind of DOS variant is the operating system of these cameras.
