It's interesting, but I would never have the nerve to try this with a brand new cam.

I wonder if you can still use the original lens? If not, your going to be hard pressed to find another quality 4.5mm lens to get that wide. You'd only have acccess to telephoto (at least for DV) lenses. What good is that?

Yeh, I don't know that I think it was a good idea, I just thought it was interesting. And looking at what they did, I don't think you could use the original lens.

Sweet to know that people are getting the nerve to hack because this kind of stuff is what gives companies new and better ideas for new models...plus it insipires us to move forward and try new things with our cameras...

If it involves a drummel tool, I'm not doing it to my camera . . .
