Turn your Canon Powershot camera into...

Don't know if this has been posted before but I knew someone would come out with it one day

Third party application that alllows firmware options such as long exposure timelapse etc on point and shoot digital cameras

Trevor, can you check the link, it doesn't appear to work, I get a page load error ; "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

B****y typical!
I check out compatible cameras and it starts with the Canon A530. Guess who's got a Canon A520!

I was able to install the CHDK on my A550 after a couple of false starts.
This is a better website: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK
I had problems getting back to the other site. This one has a more complete download package.
You need to read the FAQs and Readme files carefully.
