Would be interesting.

A Swedish hacker and robotics student named Björn Mabrö is claiming that he has successfully developed a custom firmware for the Canon 5D Mark II that adds Apple’s Siri voice assistant to the DSLR. Mabrö claims that the hack allows the camera to respond to 124 different voice commands that control everything from the shutter to changing values in settings.

So far Siri has only been ported to jailbroken iOS devices, so this is probably some kind of joke or hoax. Voice controls on future cameras would certainly be an interesting development though… “Camera, change my ISO to 1600. Shoot, NOW.”

That would be pretty badass.

Easier to shoot with gloves on in the Winter then I bet!

That would be more convenient.
Voice commands are... difficult for me. Like I'd have to SOOUUNNDDD it out to get it correct. which is annoying.

Nice hoax. Voice controlled camera's would be too cumbersome to be useful (especially for weddings and sports).

Even if this worked, the problem with this feature is that the camera will eat up so much battery power with the mic on... by the time you're done telling it what you want... you're out of power. Could probably manage 100 shots, if that with a single charge. :D

IMO, sometimes it's easier and more convenient to just lift my finger and push a button. It's almost always easier and faster to just do something yourself, than to tell someone else to do it the way you want it done.

Would it argue with you if you told it to set the wrong exposure ;)
