Open Source Photography

[Lori Nagel]

I don't know what model you have, but there were a few models that apparently had some kind of chip in them, that gave out when it got a little humid or something. Cannon paid the postage for my camera to be shipped and mailed back to me so it was fixed. I looked it up on the internet one day after I tried to use the camera and it just gave me purple instead of the view.  It could still take pictures, they were just all purple.

For folks just tuning in, the Canon Hack Development Kit is an add-on to 
the firmware for the Canon Powershot series of cameras that offers lots 
of extensions to the functionality. Sadly, my Powershot passed away a 
while ago, or I'd have fun testing this stuff.

That's definitely moving in the right direction in giving the operator 
more control over their devices. That's what Open Source is about, after 
all, isn't it?

Thanks for the link, Kevin!
