This is something that comes up a lot. It would be possible to make a build target that greps the platform_camera.h files for interesting values and outputs a table of which cameras support which options. This could be output as wiki text or html and periodically posted on the wiki.

Possible "Interesting" values
CAM_PROPSET
CAM_DRYOS
CAM_EXT_TV_RANGE
CAM_HAS_FILEWRITETASK_HOOK
CAM_HAS_ND_FILTER
CAM_HAS_IRIS_DIAPHRAGM
CAM_MULTIPART
CAM_RAW_ROWPIX
CAM_RAW_ROWS
CAM_SENSOR_BITS_PER_PIXEL
CAM_JPEG_WIDTH
CAM_JPEG_HEIGHT

The point here is things that are interesting to end users, not internal implementation stuff like CAM_UNCACHED_BIT or CAM_STARTUP_CRASH_FILE_OPEN_FIX

I'm not putting this in the 1.3 thread, because there's no particular reason to restrict it to 1.3

A text version of this could also be appended to the camera notes.txt when building the readme.

The shortcut keys would also be useful, but would probably be difficult to parse out.

Don't forget what the H stands for.

In attachment a script to export features.
Temporarily, a sample output is here.
To do: define default values for SENSOR_BITS_PER_PIXEL ?
Suggestions?

Nice, that's already a big improvement over telling users "grep the source"

For end users, it might be nice to massage the labels and columns a bit, for example, CAM_RAW_ROWPIX CAM_RAW_ROWS becomes just "raw" or "raw size" and the value is 4000x3000
This could make the table a little more compact. A key for what filewrite, ext_tv_range etc mean would also be good.

Thanks for your comments. A new version here.
- Column titles are defined in different field.
- RAW and JPG modified.
To do: ~~Default values~~ and maybe a different format for binary fields.
EDIT:
Latest source code:export_features.bash
To do: Read #undef

The current http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nafraf/csv2wiki looks very nice, except the Diaphragm column is all "No"
