Open source 'firmware' for Canon Digital cameras - lifehacker

Digital Camera: Get Way More from Your Canon Digital Camera with Open-Source Firmware

Get Way More from Your Canon Digital Camera with Open-Source Firmware



You might think your consumer-model Canon digital camera can't pull off the kind of fancy shots and tricks that make you stop and look on Flickr—until you unlock your camera's potential with the Canon Hacker's Development Kit. The completely reversible firmware upgrade, available for models running the DIGIC II or DIGIC III platforms, speeds up fast shutter modes (from 1/1,600th of a second to 1/60,000th!), allows for time-lapse photography and other scripted shots, unlimited interval shooting, better HDR pics, and much, much more. Wired's How-To Wiki has a handy guide and introduction to the CHDK, available at the link below. I lack a Canon to try out the CHDK, so let your fellow readers know what you think if you've taken this step already.

Supercharge Your Camera with Open-Source CHDK Firmware [Wired How-To Wiki]
I have not tried this on my camera as, I have an S5 IS, which is not supported. Users seem to be enjoying this hack and claim that it's entirely reversible. If anyone here is brave enough, post up and let us all know how you like it or not like it.

I have never heard of anything like this. It seems like lifehacker played it up a bit to far. You can get awsome shots "like the ones on flickr" with any camera. I am extremely skeptical about 1 shot HDR it says it does it with a raw file but that is not enough data to create an HDR.... If I had one of these cameras I would give it a try though.
