You all are amazing about hacking just about every camera Canon makes. I did a search for my camera model and I see references to the kit "doing this" or "not doing this" etc. However, when I go to the downloads I don't see a download for my model. This is confusing to me. I see people on the forums discussing some of the different features of the 530HS but I can't find the kit for it :-( Am I missing something? By the way, I wasn't sure if there was a suitable sub in this forum for posting this particular inquiry so it went here into the general chat.

Hi eaglesong!
Here you can find CHDK for your camera:

To properly install, you can use one of the apps mentioned at the top of this page:

Thank you very much for the reply. I have, indeed used the CHDK before. At this point I only purchase Canon cameras just so I have access to the CHDK. I just wasn't able to find the kit for my camera on the wiki downloads page (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Downloads) under either the stable or beta downloads.

I thank you profusely for linking me to the download on the other site. Now I can FINALLY override the shutter speed limits and (hopefully, though I haven't looked at the capabilities of the kit) get some bracketing going on for HDR shots.
