Thanks, camera buffering is significant.  I'm mostly working with a
Canon PowerShot S70 which I'm planning to use for this.  When I tried
my Nikon D5200 instead I immediately get the current image.  Which is
640x424 BTW.

I'm surprised it works on the Nikon at all, I wasn't planning on that.
On the Nikon it doesn't seem like a preview image.  If I hold the
camera I can feel mechanical movement like maybe the mirror and
shutter.  I'm not doing anything camera-specific except
canon_enable_capture.  Maybe this Nikon doesn't do previews, I didn't
look at the chart.   It's probably not important, I'm not going to
stick my D5200 out in a birdfeeder anyway.
