Lifehacker has a great article on Canon firmware enhancement. My wife just bought an SD870 which I may have to play with a little Twisted Evil

Quote:
If you're using a consumer grade point-and-shoot Canon digital camera, you've got hardware in hand that can support advanced features way beyond what shipped in the box. With the help of a free, open source project called CHDK, you can get features like RAW shooting mode, live RGB histograms, motion-detection, time-lapse, and even games on your existing camera. Let's transform your point-and-shoot into a super camera just by adding a little special sauce to its firmware.

This is awesome. I was playing around with it tonight on my A540. The battery metre and the histograms make it worthwhile right off the top - any other features are just gravy!
