There's noone planning to do anything, chdk is a loose community project. If someone comes along with a SX10 & ARM Assembler skills, it will probably be ported pretty soon.

It is of course possible that the SX10 will be ported. Cant tell how soon of course. But then again: The chances of chdk getting ported to the SX10 are pretty good, compared to the chances for seeing a "PHDK" for the lumix dmc fz28 ...

Its your choise.

Well, with CHDK you could actually do 64 sec exposures

Any waaaaaay more. Automated bracketing, scripting for timelapses, motion detection, live histogram, zebra mode, Edge detection, RAW file (Even saving as DNG), Shutter speeds up to 1/50.000 of a second, Remote release over USB, printing custom lables directly on the images, Advanced bad pixel removal, in camera RAW processing (Substraction, addition, averaging..) .. and a lot more.

-> A lot of cool stuff no other camera can offer. I'd strongly recommend to stick with the SX10 & Wait a few months. But thats just my spoiled opinion as a canon (and chdk) fanboy.
