new features after linux porting on canon dslr?

[Brawl]

is it possible that after the porting of linux on the DSLR canon you could implement new features such as recording 12 bit (pro res or other codecs), 1080p 60fps and awesome stuff like that?

thx!

No. It's impossible for software to overcome hardware limitations.

Trying to actually do anything useful with linux would actually be a lot harder. Just getting to the point where you could take a picture would be a monumental feat that would probably take years of dedicated work. The linux work may actually provide some useful information about the camera that could eventually help us do certain things in normal ML. But I highly doubt there will ever be any practical use of actually running linux on the camera.
