Well... it has Canon's startup code @ FFFF 0000 (cam jumps there at startup)
about the cam: i do most of my pics in the mountains... S series and DSLRs ( and, from experience, A630 BTW) are just too d@mn heavy to comfortably jump boulders with - in fact it's also insurance against (possibly) not having CHDK on 870IS
on my next climbing trip.
