Here is a pictorial tutorial for "hacking" or modifying a Sony P41. Look at it and that should give you some idea about the difficulty. All the rest of the build just consists mainly of drilling, painting, and finishing the case with the camo job you prefer. Hope this helps.

I read through that and it sounds do-able for me. My past two cameras that wouldn't work I took apart and just experimented with things so I some what know how careful you need to be.
But there was one problem with that document.. Some of those photos were a bit too blury to see the parts they were working on so I couldn't visually understand some of those steps.
Heres some questions for you guys. When you drill that 1/4" hole.. how careful do you need to be? how much empty space is on the other side of the case? I would really hate so go drilling a whole into the camera case and end up breaking the camera.
And is there a certain drill bit to use for that? Or just a plain wood/steel drill bit?
