Anyway, I'm using the CHDK on my S2IS and loving it. Vast improvements over the built-in bracketing capabilities, plus the ability to save RAW images. Now my task is to learn how to process the RAW images in a useful way. --sdc Old news, I know, but I’m just catching up on the photodoto blog. Anyway, I’m using the CHDK on my S2IS and loving it.

I have an old Canon Powershot A620 and out of the box the factory firmware does not support this "firmware hack", I had to download a third-party firmware update for my camera from a different website (a leap of faith on my part) and then use the firmware hack (CHDK). It worked like a charm. One thing I have noticed while processing the RAW photos is that my photos have a blue cast. I am going to try using a different Powershot raw converter to see if its a converter issue or a camera issue.

More like a program that gets loaded off the flash card during boot. If you load something on that doesn't work then the camera won't boot and no harm done. I was going to try it out on my SD700.
