New Powershot D30

Hi all,

I have been successfully using CHDK on my G12 for some time now but have decided that carrying it and my underwater enclosure around is at an end.

I just bought a Powershot D30 for my under water shots, probably similar image quality to the G12 when shooting underwater but I've not gotten to test it yet. That it is pretty much a D20 under the hood, with the same lens and Digic 4 image processor I was wondering if the current issues with more recent Canon cameras would be present in a new camera based on old tech? I'm referring to some of the problems I've been reading on the forums with the firmware of the newer Digic 6 processor and that they haven't been "cracked" yet.

Also given that this kind of question has been asked lots of times before, i.e. can I use a D20 firmware on a D30 th e answer looks to be no considering the potential changes that have occurred between these two generations. Is there a risk in giving it a go? Then again, one post I read said that this approach has never been successful so....

Given that I don't have the programming experience to create my own, I'm reliant on someone else with the technical know how to create a CHDK for the D30. Any takers? I'll pay ya :)

Hi,
Cameras released this year are using DRYOS 2.3, release #0054+p3, there is no port for any of them, so maybe we'll see new challenges.

The first step to start the port is to make a firmware dump. Could you do it? You can find instructions here: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Canon_Basic/Scripts/Dumper

The D20 also has a BSI sensor

So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they even used the exact same mainboard as the D20.

To give it credit though, it does go down further down than any of last-year's competition, to 25 metres (but not that it'll be very usable at that depth though with an f/3.9 aperture). And it supposedly has a brighter screen.

To be fair I wasn't exactly blown away by the enhancements over the D20 but I needed an UW camera and I've always had Canon so.....

I guess the D30 won't exactly be mainstream like the more popular Canon P&S cameras and that CHDK could be a long time coming, if ever?

I sent you a test version via PM. Please run test scripts and report the results.
