If you're into this but don't need the WiFi connectivity I bodged together my own DSLR shutter release triggered by my Arduino: http://blog.mclemon.io/hacking-the-canon-dslr-trigger-releas...

Nice little project and writeup! I thought about using my SLR but I don't want to bump it's shutter count too much, and since I have young kids in the house, there's no good place I can set it up on a tripod for long periods of time without it taking a tumble :(

Ah yeh this was an old-ish DSLR (Canon 450D) that has seen better days so I didn't mind too much about running it for a few hundred pics every few days - it's on its way out anyway :)

I had a similar concern with my dog experimenting with the camera setup - luckily he managed to resist the temptation!
