Atari Remote Shutter for Canon DSLR cameras from thiagoavancini.com on Vimeo.

For folks who lug around a Canon dSLR and want a remote shutter, how about hacking one yourself? This unique hack sees a classic Atari 2600 joystick being used to focus and fire the image of your choice, definitely something that stokes the imagination, although we are sure you will need a whole lot of technical know how in order to pull this off yourself. At least it gives a new meaning to the phrase “point-and-shoot”, don’t you think?
