Talk:THANKS
From CHDK Wiki
|
CHDK has to be one of the most innovative improvements to any cameras that has ever come along since the beginning of photography. Started out by some people who only wanted RAW out of their raw-crippled cameras, it has now grown into one of the most adaptable, flexible, and full-featured operating systems of any cameras ever made. I for one am extremely grateful for the work that everyone has put into this arena of discovery, implementation, coding, sharing, and those that provide all the information on these Wiki pages (and elsewhere in the world). I also think that those who have contributed to this great stride in the world of photography deserve a huge vote of thanks. Words cannot express how grateful some of us are to these people. But maybe they can help. Please share yours here. Post a new comment if you too wish to express your thanks and gratitude for all those that have helped to make CHDK what it is today. |

In special consideration, I personally would like to thank: Vitaly for his initial discoveries into the operating system of these cameras. And being the first to fly the kite across the canyon that allowed everyone else to attach their cables to his kite-line to build the CHDK bridge we see today. GrAnd, for his amazing implementation of what Vitaly discovered. The main backbone to the CHDK that we have now. Including his efforts for starting this whole Wiki section where we might all learn from them and everyone else. owenjm, for his initial help and suggestions with so many things (Y-RGB histograms for just one) well as some of his own special builds that greatly improve on some of the original functions. Harvester, for his HUGE help on the Wiki in so many areas, and helping to find so many errors that some of us made (names omitted to protect the guilty) :-) [mr.anon], for his outstanding contribution to testing builds, writing and testing a lot of useful (and popular) scripts. For his huge effort on creating articles and topics for this wiki, making suggestions, providing feedback and helping other people through various forums discussions. A note of mention for his "accidental" discovery while testing various builds that these cameras could reach shutter-speeds once thought unattainable before, that discovery now implemented by the more knowledgeable code authors. MX3, for his remarkable and extraordinary Motion-Detection addition. This one still leaves me in awe. Fingalo, for his continued effort to supply some much needed improvements and more efficient methods to the uBASIC syntax and fixing problems that show up. As well as providing up-to-date builds with these new features. Most recently his using EWAVR's excellent code to be able to easily increase the shutter speeds not just as low as 65", but now up to a mind-boggling 1/10,000th of a second shutter speed, with flash-sync included! EWAVR/Zosim, for his extremely useful USB Remote Cable-Release discovery. (Three cheers for this one!) And for helping to make the USB-Remote code available to others. Also for discovering a new method of getting dump of firmware and his continuing effort on porting CHDK to Digic III. Another round of applause for finding a way to beat the 1-gig video limit add 1-99 levels of video compression in two flavors, as well as his remarkable discovery on a way to give all of us 6 new shutter-speeds from 20-65 seconds and high-speed continuous Tv bracketing! His code now being used to include speeds up to 1/10,000th second! acseven, for providing us with the new and much easier to use CHDK Discussion Forum. Trying to communicate with each other over so many diverse languages, needs, camera models, and interests is a task that I daresay even most corporations can't handle well. His contribution is going to benefit us so much in this effort to only make CHDK more accessible to everyone. AllBest, a late-comer to the scene but someone who will also be deep in our debt, for providing a CHDK with features that surpass all expectations. His work being a summation of all those that came before him, with his own unique features that aren't found in any other builds so far. AllBest sums it up well, his build includes the best from all builds. Script Authors, thank you for providing some ready-made examples from which we might learn on our own, or to use your scripts just as they are. Your scripts help make our cameras into some of the most remarkable cameras on the face of this earth. As well as giving us new ideas to use our cameras in ways we hadn't even considered before. And to the rest of you (that I don't remember at the moment, someone please add them if you do). I think I can safely say that WE ALL appreciate and applaud how much you have done on behalf of advancements in the world of photography. Last but not least, a special thanks to you Wiki editors, that have documented, compiled, cross-referenced, and tried to make some sense of the overwhelming amount of information from so many areas of the internet, and yet somehow found a way to present it so that most anyone can make full use of CHDK. With special mention to Divalent, a late-comer to the volunteers, for his extensive exploring, testing, and checking of all the Prop_ID values that have heretofore gone undocumented, increasing the usefulness of CHDK even more, as well as his extensive help in keeping updates and additions in check on these Wikia pages. THANK-YOU. (If any of the above information for names and timeline is wrong, please forgive me and make the above information more accurate. This is what I have seen happen as I started to follow the development of CHDK from early on, but might be in error on some of it.) |
A thanks from Divalent
I certainly commend all of the developers of this fine product. The strong interest in CHDK is proof of the value of the their efforts.
Having done analogous development projects in the distant past, I know the complexity of the undertaking. This project has the further complication that it attempts to address a rather diverse set of user applications, although it is probably fair to say that those diverse desired applications are one of the strengths of CHDK.
Recognizing that the developers are doing this on their own time and for no compensation, I am grateful for whatever efforts they continue to make. They have been more than helpful in assisting others in implementing improvements and in extending the camera's it can be used on. If they don't spend another sec further developing this product, that is their right.

Конечно же ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО всем, кто проложил свои знания и умения к созданию такой замечательной, грандиозной, и, не побоюсь этого слова, эпохальной вещи как CHDK. Я видел процесс рождения, взросления, развития прошивки с самого начала, с надписи "Hello world" на экране. И вот сейчас она повзрослела и, распустив крылья, полетела на сотни и тысячи фотоаппаратов. Честно говоря, даже было интереснее следить за новыми возможностями CHDK чем изучать стандартные возможности фотика и технику правильного фотографирования. Как круто было продемонстрировать друзьям и знакомым "А вот что мой Canon может..." Ещё раз спасибо всем активным участникам, желаю Вам сил для дальнейших успехов. Удачи.
Me too

Thanks from Brazil (G7 user)
Gostaria de agradecer aos desenvolvedores deste maravilhoso software. O CHDK é um programa extremamente funcional que permite fazer coisas antes inimagináveis com minha G7. Parabéns!
Special thanks to Microfunguy
Thanks to Microfunguy for listening to my suggestions and allowing me the honor and the priveledge of testing the alpha versions of SDM Mx3 and for his special sympathy for the metrically challenged CHDK users.
GrAnd, Mx3, EWAVR/Zosim, and Microfunguy have been no less than the genius pioneers in advancing the art of 3D Stereo Photography a quantum leap in only a short period of time.
Thanks to all other developers, writers, and contributors.

thanks(A570,1.01a user )
- Please be aware that you are thanking someone who has taken everyone else's code and hard work to make his Stereo Data Maker and then has never shared his code in return with anyone else. Someone like that deserves no thanks whatsoever. You should be thanking all those that provided the code for him, instead of thanking Microfunguy.
- It appears that he finally, at long last, published his source code. Peer pressure is a wonderful thing.

Deepest Thanks to all of you!
Because of chdk and all the people who started it all and those people who are still improving what has been developed, I am not giving away my Canon Powershot A610 even though I bought a Canon Powershot S3IS. And I'm not considering buying any other brand of digicam in the future unless it's CHDK compatible.
I really want to thank all of you guys for bring new life to these digital cameras.

thanks to all the hackers and programmer who push this to unbelievable hights
i was a former canon a640 user when i came accross the thread in DP about a modified firmware . i was on a big trip in asia and had already be completely addicted by taking pictures . since i had the chdk on my card and found out what i can do with this i got shear crazy ! i woke up at 4 o clock to drive 2h ontop a mountain to make sunrise pictures in HDR or timelapse videos of the awaking clouds from the jungle in northern thailand . i had a beautifull evening on the terrace of a temple while a huge rainwall approached from the mountains into a valley for my first lightning expierience ... this thing made me go out and drive , climb , walk just to get more amazing pictures wich i would never had done if this thing wasnt there .... therefore i have to thank grand and vitaly for starting to roll this stone and all the people who produced some things that helped me to gain ideas and expierience in taking my pictures . sadly the cam (wich already had 2 crashes from 1.5 meter and some dust/sand in the lens) was stolen out of my bag in my 2nd last night in bangkok before i flew back . so next day i just bought the 650is as it was there for a good price . now i face the situation of the people who are waiting for a port or even a dump .... its like an addict who cannot have his drug :D ... but iam quite sure that by time it will happen . i hope this thing will grow more and more to enrich everybodys photo experience .
thanks so much
chris
Thank you!
You have turned my humble little A710 into a tool I can use to build my photographic skills without breaking the bank. Photography brings me great joy, and you help contribute to that joy. The work you have put into this tool, and the spirit of cooperation required to do it are wonderful, and I thank you!
A big thanks to all of you.
Wonderful tools. Wonderful features. I feel like having a brand new camera!
Thanks for making my camera more interesting.
I am completely bowled over. I couldn't believe that my camera had so much power!! If you people have not been offered job by Canon yet .. It is a shame on them!
After all this, I have only one question: Can my camera run Linux ? ;-)
More thanks & encouragement
Even as a new user, the insructions are so well written I was able to follow them easily and I would encourage even beginners to take advantage of these additional features. Thanks to all of you for sharing your hard work. nwcurtis 71.33.24.162 13:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Tanks a lot
Thank you all, for this great work ... Its unbelievable what you get out of this Cameras. I own a PowerShot 640, and now you show me, that this camera can do much more I ever expect. Thanks... Ps: Would be nice if there ware a nice StoryBoard with the History of the whole CHDK.

Thank You!
Thanks from Burnaby, British Columbia Canada!
Thanks to all you creative
This Wiki is bout interesting and useful. Thanks to all you who have the knowledge and time to perform such development.
As a DSLR user I could wish someone also invented 120 or even 240 sec metering/controlled exposure times on EOS'es, and crack the autofocus-limitation for lenses slower than f5,6. This will give 2x converters a new life.
Does anyone play similar games with Nikons ?

CHDK is wonderful; it's worth installing just for the full-time battery status information. I have an A620.
Regards, Mike T.
Many thanks from SERBIA
Dear folks,
thank you all for increasing our satisfaction of using Canon's cameras and making our cameras worth more. I hope that your example will be starting spark for other users to contribute and expand this job also to other camera brands.
Best regards, Strela.

Thank you from Serbia
Amazing! Astounding! Cool! Insane!
I know there is a great feeling of accomplishment that makes all the hours and the cold pizza and the mountain dew's worth it, but what has been done here goes beyond personal satisfaction. For the special few who are able and willing to utilize the power that has been unleashed here, there is the simultaneous high of knowing what can be done and the stunning revelation of what has been withheld. Although mine, the TX-1, is not yet on the list, I am thrilled that this work has been able to lift the veil on so many others. Sincerest thanks to all those who have put in the time and effort to make this happen. I can only hope that Canon realizes what an advantage this gives them and openly or surreptitiously helps the process.
Thanks to you all!

луганск с вами!
премного благодарен вам! теперь фотик - весьма полезная вещица. кстати, маркетологи кенона вам должны быть обязаны, т.к. у меня отпало желание менять мой S3 после появления в нем таких наворотов ;) респект!
Big thank you!
A big thank you to all developers! You made it possible to start using my Canon not only for snapping photos but to enjoy making photographs.

Thanks and more POWER to SHOT ,)
You guys turned my humble A540 into a powerful camera. Thanks a lot! Just one request... more update for A540 please. :)
Дякую! Надзвичайно корисна штука. Без CHDK мій S3 був би звичайною попсовою цифромильницею:)
Dmitry SiD Ulyanov
Ребята, огромное вам человеческое СПАСИБО за проделанную работу! Вы значительно расширили границы возможностей фотоаппаратов Canon =) Я и не ожидал, что мой любимчик может так много ;)
THANX!!(Stanislav, s3-user)
Громадное СПАСИБО всем разработчикам!! Из фотоаппарата получился космический корабль.. Фотография доставляет удовольствие, с`ёмка, обработка, печать.. Совершенно не ожидал такого при покупке. Знакомых фанатов Canon уже "проапгрейдил". Удачи во всём!!
из Киева
Спасибо, отличная работа. Кэнон А610 снова в ходу.
Господа программисты! Сразу хочу выразить вам свою благодарность, за ваш нелегкий и черезвычайно полезный труд. Благодаря таким интузиастам как вы, простые ламеры (как я) могут наслаждаться прелестями полнофункциональной техники, приобретенной за разумные средства, на зло хитрым и жадным производителям. Которые в свою очередь исскуственно урезают возможности камер до начального уровня, вынуждая любителей переплачивать за более профессиональную технику. Низкий вам поклон!
Благодарствую!
Спасибо от пользователя А640. Прошивка сыграла роль при выборе аппарата. Успехов!
Из Донецка (Украина) from Donetsk (Ukraine)
Выражаю огромную благодарность, профессионалам потратившим свое время и средства на разработку столь уникальной утилиты. В наше время не многие занимаются столь полезными вещами. Огромное вам спасибо на таких людях как вы держится общество. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS FROM SOCHI
THANK YOU VERY MUTCH! Shooting olympic game whis Canon. THANKS from SOCHI!
I only bought a Powershot because of CHDK. It transforms the buy into budget. Thanks!!
P.S.: Oh Shit! My english is poor!
Thanks!!!!

CHDK Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU guys just by accident i came across that mod/hack. downloaded it, played around with it and LOVED IT!!!!!!!! need to do more reading though. saw the "time lapse" examples. freakin' AWESOME. you made my day complete. can i donate a little pile of cash somewhere? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU guys
keep the good work coming guys
a very very happy Powershot S3 IS owner
Thank you for the excellent improvenment of Canon's cameras. I have A610, just enough for me, but with your extensions it does me happy much more. As I'm a programmer too, especially thank you for the scripting language available now to me. Good work, good luck.
You are the best!!!! thanks to everyone who has made my life a whole lot happier! with CHDK
Thanx !
Thanx !
A million Thanks and MORE POWER!!!
i really appreciate what you've done. you bring out the creativity in all users of your programs. what you did guys is OUTSTANDING! i am really looking forward for you guys to continue what you're doing so that future canon camera users will appreciate your work more.
Thanks!!
Thanks guys for your great job!! You improved so much my little A540.
Oleg Krutov, G7 user
Спасибо, мужики! Вы молодцы, кроме шуток :)
THANKS A LOT! :D
Now my humble A540 will perform better than other more expensive cameras and will include more capabilities too! :D Let's just hope than Canon will still allow their future cameras to be hacked this way. So that when it comes time to upgrade or when my camera is broken... I will still be happy. :D
ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ - Thank you
A great thank goes to all contributors of this excellent hack, that gave a new life to our cameras. I believe that such contributions give credits to the internet, as a global idea exchange and reciprocal help forum.
Thanos Baxevanis, Athens, Greece A610 user
Many, many thanks...
You guys keep me amazed. Each day, you come up with new cameras added to your list of dumped firmwares and ported ones. I hope a chdk for my ixus 960is will be released soon. I am very, very eager to try it out with my camera.
Again, thanks for all your hard-work. Without you guys, we wouldn't be able to bring out the creativity in each one of us.
THANKS AND MORE POWER!!!
The most thanks !
Thank You!!!
Thanks for the extreme coding you all are doing! I've dumped an SD600 (like so many others, and patiently waiting) but I think I'm going to save up and get an 850. Anyways, great work, the community and industry really appreciate you!
You give me a gift
Hey !!! you give me a gift !!! Don´t you know ? Thanks from Argentina !!!
Great Allbest's CHDKon A650 IS
CHDK is great running on my A650 IS. Thank you for all the contributions. Is it possible for CHDK to make optical zoon possible during video recording and even use H.264 codec to record the movies?
Marvin
Thanks!
CHDK is the solution for Time-Lapse fans. The built-in intervalometer is ridiculous (1 minute interval and 100 frames), but with CHDK, we can extremely utilize the features of Canon S[235]IS cameras.
Thanks a lot from Hungary.
Gracias por todo!!
Thanks from Chile User 570IS
Thank you!
Thanks to all the developers!
You have created a wonderful thing that makes our cameras much more feature-rich!
Thank you!
Thanks to all the developers!
Very useful program...

Thank you!
We have the A540, the A710IS and the A720IS and we can do so much more with them.
WOW! - Thanks!
I had no idea that CHDK existed before 4/28/08. I am psych'd and blown away by this code and the associated scripts. GREAT JOB!

Thanks from sd630 user in Canada
You've given me a brand new camera and toy! Now I wish my battery had been charged before install. Thanks again, --Ray.
Thanks, You make fantastic things!!!!! Thank YOU!!!!!
Спасибо огромное, реально классное что есть еще такие люди как ВЫ!!!!! (Минск)
Thanks in advance....
...to whoever is working on the SD600!
this is ridiculously cool. wow is all i can say. [pimped out A700 owner]
Thank you from England. Tried, tested & love it on my Canon Digital IXUS60 (SD600). The functions it 'unlocks' are truly worth the 30 mins it took me to get it working.
Thanks from Oman
I was thinking of buying a new camera. Mainly because of the issue that the battery level is not clear. I re-charged my camera too often.
You have saved me the money for the new camera and added a new set of functionality to my Ixus 850.
Thanks Guys
Thank you to everyone who's worked on CHDK (from Wazza)
Thank you to all the people who've spent hours and hours giving us this tremendous gift - I love it!
I have serious respect for firmware hackers - you guys all have brains the size of planets. Firmware hacking is probably one the most difficult reverse-engineering tasks out there, and I'm extremely grateful!
Thanks from a S5IS user
I've no idea what or how you did it but you have my admiration and heartfelt thanks for all the work you have put into this project. I can only dream of the frustrations and sleepless nights you all must have experienced in getting this to work especially when, I'm sure, you have other lives to go to, this was probably the last straw! Anyway MANY MANY THANKS from an admirer.

Thanks from HYM
hi first, billions and zillions of thanks to u guys.
I am a S2 Is owner and was planning to buy a new camera, but CHDK saved my money. Excpet for MegaPixels and zoom, i have all the power of an SLR. All thnx to u. Keep up the good job and lets make the world a better place by learning a simple word "Sharing". :)
from Bond
Thank you guys! CHDK helped me map out a stuck pixel on my S5 - even Canon Service failed to fix it!

IXUS 700 on steroids :)
A BIG thank you to all the developers. My IXUS 700 is like a new camera. Lots of new features that i cant live without now that i have gotten used to them.
Greetings From Sweden! //Nickman
CHDK is great but.....
First off, I love your program i think it is great. But I have a Canon SD900, and there is no software! Could you work on that please?
Thanks to all who have contributed in any way to this project.
The primary developers have been named, but there probably are many others involved as well with testing, documentation, and assistance to newbies.
As a former software developer I am quite aware of the amount of mental effort and long hours that go into something like this.
Thanks, everyone.

VERY IMPRESSED!!!
Thank you very much you make me re-discover my too automatic camara. Best wishes. J.S. from Spain.
Thank you from Gran Canaria 2 make me rediscover my S2
It is like a kid in a candy store, you can´t believe you can have it all. Just a couple days I read about the 5x hd camcorder Toshiba wants to bring out realy cheap. THE THING MOST INTERESTED ME YOU CAN USE IT AS A SECURITY CAM BECAUSE OF MOTION DETECTION. Yesterday I was reading about the new Panasonic fz28 and how it would compare to the s5 or the new model and I stumbled over chdk. I was amazed how you could teach my old cam new tricks and do things I always wished would be possible (like squeeze more movie onto the sd card without resolution ore fps loss). And one day later I have a ball and have never played so long with my canon not even when she was brand new ( I got one of the first ones with the e firmware ) ... and finaly understanding the script thingy and the motion detection I could make this.
thanks a million guys and if you are ever in my neck of the woods, let´s have a drink.

CHDK - Keeping Canon users as Canon users for ever!
I wish to thank you guys to help me choose my new cameras...
CHDK itself made me the only alternative: CHDK Compatible Cameras ;-)
Keep this amazing work alive!!!
Thank you all!

(S5 & A590 waiting for porting!)
i just want to say that you guys are brilliant. these features and scripts allow me to do stuff with my cameras that i had always wished i could do! thanks to you all.
Thanks!
Thank you to all of you who contribute to the CHDK project. It looks like it isn't yet working on the SD1100, which is on a fedex truck on it's way, but I am excited and grateful to know that it may be some time soon.
Thanks for your contributions, sharing, and time.
Thank you very much! A530 user
Thanks, SX100IS from Argentina
Thanks a lot guys, I was a little sad becouse there was no chdk for my camera, but it was worth the wait. The camera now performs excellent and I am very pleased with the results. THANK YOU!! Ruta9 - Salta, Argentina
Thanks from Romania
My camera is a puny A450, and CHDK helped me get the most out of it. Observing photography parameters and having control over them does more than a thousand manuals/articles.
