I would love to dispense with my shutter release cable - if only there was an option to "keep pressed" like there is a physical lock on any shutter release. So that I can more than "fire like crazy" - so that the shutter is constantly down - until I switch off the camera - not necessary but for geeks could have a timer - or maybe could have a reverse wake-up by pressing a(ny) button... Am I making myself clear? It's like the bulb mode but keeps taking 5 or 20 second or whatever length hi rez photos continually. Please forgive and inform me if this is already possible. I would prefer not to use a cable release at all if possible. Is it? For for filming in movie mode I still like to use it - and thanks for making the half shutter press rec. possible. Canon should have given us a "trim off first and last second" option if we were expected to press that awkwardly placed movie record button. You guys should have a flowchart for a ML "quick guide" to the 60D, for example. Like first things worth checking. I'm still puzzling over the options - can I increase the quality of my films and stills is y probably obvious first question. How fast an SD card to buy to justify what ML can do for the 60D. Or am I even correct in thinking that movie quality will be better if pushed by ML???
