CHDK and you.

CHDK is a piece of software that resides on the memory card of your camera (mainly Canon point and shoots), that enables many features that canon did not put into the software of the camera. You can create scripts that make taking HDR photos a breeze, custom time lapse scripts, scripts for taking photos of lightning, and much much more. CHDK can also enable taking photos in RAW format, if you don't know what that is, you probably don't need that feature. and best of all, this amazing modification is one that doesn't even violate your warranty. You place the program on your memory card, and it stays there. it doesn't modify the camera at all. for more information, you can check it out at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK

    There has been so many awesome camera hacks using CHDK. Playing with timelapse on cheap cameras like that looks like so much fun. Too bad I hate Canons!

    I didn't even know you could do something like that. I don't have a Canon, but good to know this is around if I ever do get one.

    Wish I still had a badass camera. I had a Canon once that was amazing. It had a lot of functions, 90% of which were very useful.

    Most of the items have like 1-2 years warrantie, but if you find out that the item have a construction error after 6 months after the warrantiy time, do you still got a change to get it repaird/ new then?
