App controls your Canon DSLR from Android Phone via USB

Hi,
I've come across the following Android app. Don't think it's a repost.

Via a type of USB cable you can get full control of an EOS DSLR. Check the video in the link to see it working. You need a dual core device like Galaxy S2 though.

Features include but are not limited to:
- Live View
- Auto Focus (tap Live View)
- Manual focus adjustments in Auto Focus mode
- Histogram
- Zoom control
- Grid and aspect ratio display
- Bulb capture
- Continuous capture
- Image review (+ follow shot)
- Image filters (peaking, conrtast, channel mask, grayscale, 4 different modes per filter)
- Extensive modification of settings
--- Shutter speed
--- Aperture
--- Exposure Compensation and Bracket
--- Flash Compensation
--- ISO speed
--- Auto-Focus Mode
--- Focus and Zoom area (tap-and-hold Live View)
--- Picture Style
--- Drive Mode
--- White Balance
--- Color Temperature
--- Auto-Lighting Optimizer
--- Metering Mode

Pretty damn clever stuff I think. I guess there are enough possible uses for some to make it worth it?

This app is incompatible with your Galaxy S 2.

whilst its very cool, in what situation would you actually need to use this?

You need a certain firmware version for it to work with the sg2. Might be good with tablets though, nice big screen to preview pictures

dont see the point if it has to be connected to the cam
