Yes thats tue ! But ill try to clean everything. Especially the Viewfinder !

Starting disassembly now . Be prepared for photo updates

Of course theres no warranty for water damage originaly. but maby thell replace it anyway.

Yes like in the iphone

water damage :/ doesnt start or do anything

Yes shure ! Ill do some photos today / tomorrow if thats ok. Ill probably send it in to the canon service center and see if they replace it.
Its still covered by warranty

Changing the crystal is too much work, not worth opening the camera and might not work.

I've overclocked a bunch of ARM router + phone stuff and if you go past a point the proc just doesn't boot.

Well i think it cold be worth the risk . I think i cant resist Just bought a broken 1100d for experimenting.

About 7 Years ago i ylso overclocked my Nintendo Ds by adding a different crystal that could be activated with a switch.

Im also not shure what will happen if we change the clock.

What about physically overclocking the DIGIC 4 ? I mean by chaging the chrystal next to the processor to one with a higher value.
We could add a little cooler to the Processor. Maybe this would enable us to shoot higer fps in video mode.

Yeah but 224mbit is the bitrate RED uses for 4K video. So recording at 1080p would roughly one fourh of this.
224/4=56mbit/s  whis is 7 Mb/s so even SD cards could keep up with this.

If a ribbon connector (or even unpopulated) is there but unused near SD that would probably be it.

Yes but i only see 16 free pins ?!

What about Jpeg2000 Compression in Movie mode ? The Redcode Raw is based on this compression method. Its 224mbit/s which is not too much for fast sd cards.

Heard of the new GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition ?
It captures 4k video with 12 fps / 2.7k with 30 fps. Amazing for a camera this size/price in my oppinion.

Wow very interesting ! But 10000 $ is still way too much for a student like me.
Currently I`m using a 550d/T2i with a Sigma 30mm 1.4 and a Sigma 70-200 2.8 with magic lantern and I´m very impressed with this configuration.

But couldnt we get 24 RAW frames a second in Picture burst mode if we would disable the mechanic and would use a electronic Shutter like in movie mode. If the RAW pictures would be taken in 1080P resulution the Bitrate would be much lower.

I saw this Project too.
But the sensor size is fairly small and there are only sensitiyity modes of iso 100, 200 and 400 availible.
I dont understand the point we discussed before, that the 1100ds noise performance is worse than other cameras ?
Whats the reason for this? i mean the 600d has 50% more pixels at the same sensor size. So each pixel on the sensor can be 50% biger and pick up 50% more light.

Hm but then we cold also use a (cheaper) 550d right ?

Ok cool but the 600d has an 18mp APS-C Sensor like the 7D/550D/60D anso so on ... so i wanted the 1100d.
I just thought it would be cool to have a custim made very strong case. and without all the stuff i mentioned before it wold be much more Weather/ Dust proof i think.

Here are a few thoughts i have on building our own video camera:

Basis would be a Canon 1100d/ T3.
Why a cheap (shitty) 1100d ? Well it has a 12 Mp APS-C sized sensor so there would much less noise at high iso than on a 7D/550D/60D.
We could skip the cameras built in Flash, Photo mode wheel, viewfinder, mirror and the shutter.
We could geht our own case cnc milled for this camera. Perhaps an aluminium case like the RED Scarlet.
We could also integrate an Mic input and skip the internal one.

Hey alex,
i know that it works in Movie Mode. But i cant use it in Manual Photo mode .

Is there a Chance that we can get a iso 50 function on the 550d/T2i ?

Thanks ! Simon

Thanks for your work nanomad ! Is there any chance we can get 1080p recording on the 1100d ?
