CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit)

Introductions:

As I always saying there are still some ways on how to reverse engineer the system..Our canon camera , a G11 was purchased instead of G10 as for replacement because the latter is outdated(phase out) already.I thought it was a wrong options to choose the next model of Canon Powershot series because Canon Company had issued an announcement that they were not supporting SDK to Canon Powershot G series any more.-ohh what the heck! A sort of dismay or disappointment for we could not withdraw the said amount in the photo store , so it seems buying a worthless camera for my Robook Project.

But that's not the end of the project , I have browsed a very good source of hacking Canon Camera firmware , and they are a CHDK developers group.I did not even expecting that this group are making camera features better than the Official Canon developers -Oh?Yes, they had exposed all hidden features of a Canon camera-almost!I found a G11 as one of the latest device which they are developing firmwares to date.

So what is CHDK firmwares? This is a program that alternates the original firmware of a camera device (I am talking here a canon)
