HOW TO - Canon Hacker's Development Kit
CHDK, or Canon Hacker's Development Kit is an awesome thing. It allows Canon digital point-and-shoot owners access to a bunch of great 'high-end' features like raw capture, exposure bracketing, and even enabling you to run custom scripts. The software doesn't make any permanent changes to your camera so there's no risk of hardware 'brickification'. Hack a Day posted a detailed how-to on the subject
