I can not seem to load the CHDK firmware onto my SD Card. Has anyone had any luck with this? What size Card did you use and did you have to partition the SD Card?
Thanks!

What is CHDK?
Canon Hack Development Kit

CHDK is a unique software application developed by enthusiasts that enables extra features for ported Canon™ "Point&Shoot" cameras. (Note: it will not run on DSLR cameras).

What can it do? CHDK enhances the capabilities of your camera in a non-destructive, non-permanent way. ...

Does CHDK permanently alter the camera? No. CHDK is simply software. Just like a computer, when the camera is turned off all the software disappears from memory until it is turned on again and CHDK is reloaded. Also like some software, there is an option to automatically start CHDK when the camera starts ("booting").

How does CHDK get on the camera? In the same way that you install Photoshop™ or Zoombrowser onto a computer (by copying the software onto your hard drive from, say, a CD) CHDK is installed by copying the CHDK software onto one of the camera’s "drives" - the SD flash memory card.

How does CHDK software get copied to the flash card? CHDK can be copied to your SD flash card using a file manager such as Windows Explorer. A card reader is used to connect the SD flash card to your computer. Once connected, the SD flash card appears like any other hard drive on the computer. Your printer may contain a usable card reader. Card readers are fairly inexpensive, and can simplify transferring of files, and thus files can be transferred via USB. See also: Raw Parameters, and DNG visible via USB.

Where can CHDK software be downloaded? Visit this Wiki : Prepare your SD card to learn how do to find the correct CHDK version for your camera and how to prepare your SD card to use it. If this is your first time using CHDK, it is strongly recommended that you use the STICK Utility to download CHDK and setup your SD card.

I have used SDM (Stereo Data Maker) for several years for 3-D photography. The info for the CDHK download can be found here.

And for the Canon DSLR users there is Magic Lantern. I use it, it's a great hack.
