A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Someone will crack the firmware and offer a hacked version shortly after this rolls out.

They won't.

If people could hack the firmware of these companies they would've done it by now, but no one has.

Except the old Magic Lantern one from decades ago.

It’s been done for Sony cameras a while back. One of the tools that lets you get into the camera’s firmware is Sony-PMCA-RE. As far as I know this is not the only one either.

It’s not a powerful as a Magic Lantern, but that’s not the point, which is that camera firmware hacks are still going on.

As long as there is a reason and motivation someone will figure it out.

Well no one has figured it out since they stopped supporting the playmemories store in cameras.
