RAW Support (and more) For Your Canon Camera With CHDK

“Pocket digital cameras are great, but they can be frustrating
too. They don’t give you a lot of control, and sometimes the
decisions they make are just, well, wrong.

“But if your camera is made by Canon, there’s an open source
project that can help: CHDK, the Canon Hack Development Kit.

“The wizards of the CHDK project have figured out a way to load
new firmware onto most Canon cameras, ranging from pocket
point-and-shoot cameras all the way up to the fancy digital SLRs.
The CHDK firmware lets you fix things that Canon didn’t do quite
right, add new features Canon didn’t think to include, and it even
lets you write useful scripts so you can automate some functions of
your camera.”
