Default Open Source Firmware for Canon Cameras! (CHDK)

Hey guys,

A friend just sent me this link today - i havent dug in too deep but from the initial look of it it seems to add a lot of much needed features!

Quote:
CANON CAMERAS ONLY !!!!!
  • up to 1/60,000 of a second shutter speed
  • can be loaded on cameras using Canon's DIGIC II or DIGIC III firmware platforms.
  • RAW file format
  • live histogram display
  • a battery readout
  • the ability to run scripted actions on a camera
  • CHDK does not replace the existing firmware on your Canon, so the process is completely reversible.

If anyone tries this out please let us know how it goes!!

EDIT : Some videos / samle pics :
The install + live histogram + sample time lapses etc > CHDK Videos - Truveo Video Search
