Of course, the next question is:

	"What do we have to do to convince you to make a plugin architecture  
for it?"

All of us poor saps with Nikon SLRs want to play too.  I know you  
certainly don't want to, but I'd be willing to kick in the time to  
get it working with my D70.  Are the program and Canon API horribly  
intertwined, or is it something you can make available to  
enterprising third parties that want support for their cameras?  Just  
a thought, it looks great as it is.

Cheers
Trent
