Probably the most effective way to set up a DSLR would be to lock the shutter open (either by hardware or software means) and then strobing LED lighting when you want to take a shot to prevent the jello-shutter effect CMOS sensors have taking video (which is why the shutter would still trigger for video)
Bonus points for removing the color filter and strobing R G and B LED's, one shot per color. An ideal implementation of this could be quite effective for it's price, if a bit slow.
