@reyalp Thanks for the info. I'm going to try and connect it to my laptop and see how it goes. And thanks for the SD info. I read the manual and saw what you are talking about. There are definitely some small SD monitors that can be hacked to work.
By any chance would you know why HD can't pass through? It would seem the hardware is there to do it... Is it just a matter of dev?
@Hardware_Hacker Yeah, I got the Canon app to run wireless. It does pass through for view only and snap shots. I'm looking for a hack to pass through vid recording. As a point I'm not just interested in wireless communication as my testing was all done via hardwire. I picked up 2 Micro USB to usb cables and tethered my Nexus to the camera. Again I got the DSLR controller to work for pic view only (I'm aware that DSLR app is not designed for a Powershot. I was just testing to see if it could work.)
As to your point of selling off my SX530 and upgrading. What is the fun in that?!? I know I can pick up a better camera but I also know that my camera is capable of doing the same thing (and by "know" I mean I'm pretty sure. And by "pretty sure" I mean I hope.)
But seriously. I want to see if I can hack it to do what I want. It makes for a much more interesting camera and story. So yeah, do think there is a way to hack the camera to allow my tablet to pass through video recording?
