I use a 40D for most of my general photography and all of my astrophotography, a replacement for my trusty Wasia hack modded Rebel which I gave to my sister in law; a G2 with a Gentled for time lapse; a Bell&Howell BH40 1.3MP camera from the digital dark ages for playing with IR and an RCA Small Wonder HD camcorder is being pressed into service for kite aerial video. Now I'm thinking a small Canon P&S w/CHDK would also be great for KAP and time lapse. I can pick up an A1000IS for about $125 but porting CHDK is beyond my abilities. It looks like some progress is being made, but I'm afraid I really couldn't bring anything to the party as far as helping out with getting a final version up and running. It's hard to find the older models for which CHDK is already ported....but I may have found a solution. The lab where I work uses an A590IS (I haven't checked the firmware version yet). I'm gonna offer to buy a shiny new A1000IS for the lab in exchange for the A590IS. I've been lurking the forums (fora?) a long time and following the Wiki and before that the Yahoo Canon hack group, but all this talk of dumping source code, compiling and all that type of stuff was making my head hurt, I know when I'm outa my league. No real point to this post, the fire sprinkler system at work went ape$hit all over my equipment today, it was a rough and costly afternoon and I'm finally getting to relax with an adult beverage.
