CHDK's motion-detection routine is even fast enough for lightning photographs... Something that they thought nobody would ever be able to do... Part of Canon's "let's find ways to force people to buy DSLRs" marketing campaign.... it doesn't get simpler than that.... Here's the page for the new S3 IS version! any simple electronic switching circuit in existence! a simple way to test if it's (sic) working. just when you thought it couldn't get better it happens again! This is like getting a new camera every week, for FREE! The superlatives, grammar errors and rantings of a ******. If this thing was promoted by anyone with credibility, I might have given it a try. I pity whoever wrote CHDK, because this turkey of a thousand identities is going to sink it single-handed. (well, it's just the one hand in all those socks....) Funny, I didn't read it like that (well yes some of the statements are a wank, but I ignored that to get to the real meat of the matter). I read it as someone offering something FREE that will be of benefit to owners of the relevant cameras. Admittedly it is off-topic in r.p.d.slr-systems, since the cameras in question are all P&S but it is a useful tool none-the-less. I didn't know of it's existence prior to this post, and when I investigated, I discovered that CHDK would breath new life into my S2IS. Doesn't look like I can use the remote release, but I can benefit from RAW (my main gripe with the S2IS is it's propensity to clip highlights - yesterday's play revealed there is a lot in the RAW that doesn't make it to JPG). I will also benefit from things like improvements to timed exposures. I don't use the S2IS much anymore - mainly use my DSLR, but the S2IS is handy because of it's small size, and it does very good video, so I occasionally take it instead of the SLR. Having improved capabilities is a big plus, so I'm saying thankyou to the OP, not sledging him. |
