A few things Jack. 1) if no guid is given its defaults to the first camera, but the guid is not displayed in the dynamic_reconfigure GUI. 2) The defaults for my camera have the gain so low, that the image is black. New users may think this isn't working. I'd suggest at least setting auto_gain to 2 to ensure they see something. Also, the tutorial could use a page on using the yaml files. It took me a while to realize that the new API needs me to set auto_* to 3 in order for the sclalrs I set to have any effect. These are small things. I think you've done a remarkable job taking the original 1394 driver and making it easy to use and stable. One of these days I hope to find time to do the same with the swissranger_camera driver.
