Excerpt from Conclusion:
QuoteOverall, using ML for research can be a very frustrating experience. The cameras it supports are now old, but they were
relatively high-end consumer cameras when they were released,
and the ML software infrastructure cleanly exposes more of their
inner workings than can be accessed using any other software environment on any comparable or newer cameras from any major
brand. If newer cameras were supported, and especially if the
project were to be given a bit of help directly by Canon, the level
of access provided by ML would be compelling for a very wide
range of research projects – and very appealing as a platform for
third-party software developers.
I saw this a while back. I should probably get in contact and update them on status of modern cams, that seemed one of their main concerns.
