Hi again MWEERDEN, I'm hoping you or anyone else can help.  

I really appreciate your contribution to CHDK for making the SD880 a success.  I'm currently going to do an upgrade to the SD980 which has 24mm wide angle lens and 720P HD recording and a touch screen interface. Because I bought from a store that always give me half back of my original purchase within a year if I buy another camera from them...it's a promo they run.

Is there anyway that the sd880 port may work with the sd980..(or am I dreaming in technicolor? :)  If not would you be able to assist in porting the SD980 if I sent you the necessary info in order to have CHDK work for the SD980?  I remember when you first came to the forum you got it working so fast in a matter of days!

Here is the link to the new camera that will be available in early October?

Your work and contribution is always appreciated and I understand if this is not possible.  But if you can helpl I most certainly would like to buy you a few beers and would send you some funds via paypal to enjoy those drinks! :)

Once again, thank you and cheers,

Hollywood

No, there is zero chance that CHDK for one camera will run on a different model.

The "necessary info" to complete a working port of a new model (rather an a firmware revision of an existing port) generally consists of the following:
1) The camera.
Don't forget what the H stands for.

I'm afraid reyalp is completely right. Without physical access to a camera, things like testing and debugging are quite a pain. Other than that I'd be glad to help you (and/or others) to get a new port on the way if that's needed.

Hello,
will there be a final version for ixus870/sd880 in the near future?
This camera seems to me the only one from the Digic4 crowd (without the most current, new models) that still has CHDK in beta status. BTW, thanks a lot to the software enthusiasts working on the porting!
Thanks,
Soul

Hello,
Sorry, SX1 and SD990 (IXUS 980), both with Digic4 are also still in beta status.

Hello folks,  I was able to get my camera the sd880 to 'DNG" pictures so that I can use them like RAW files in Adobie Lightroom, its the only program that allowed 'DNG" files to open properly.

Well now when I activate "Save RAW" in the CHDK Menu and select save RAW file to jpeg and select the two DNG options on or active for "DNG Format" "DNG" fiels extension to on.  WHen I take the pictures I don't get any files ending in DNG file formats when trying to transfer the pictures from camera to PC.  They all remain jpeg's, any advice on this would be helpful.

Cheers,
Hollywood

I'm assuming from this you're transferring using Canon software & USB cable.

Well, mweerden maybe you should just jump on the band wagon like me and move up to a slightly better camera and with your CHDK it will be as close to an slr as you can get.  Even Ken Rockwell made this claim in his reivew of the Canon SD980 IS. 24MM wide, HD 720P, better pictures than the SD880 a little sharper, plus touch screen focus to isolate the subject for a better depth of field and to  blur the back ground easier.

Just a suggestion, I'm sure you could sell the SD880 IS and get a good price before the sd980 IS come out,  what do you think, sounds like a good idea?  Cheers, Hollywood.  Once again thanks for all the work and effort.  :D

Apart from it making it a bit hard to fix possible problems with the SD880 port, my willingness to help doesn't go quite that far. But you're always free to buy me one. ;)

Anyway, RaduP seems to be on things for now. (See the links on the SD980 wiki page.)
