Using CHDK on a Canon G7, works flawlessly and autoloads. Just wish Canon would pull their head out of their a** and give us a real firmware update with RAW like the G9.

Why on earth would they do that? Its not in their business interests and would take away a lot of the market from the high end G-series.
Its very common in all areas of electronics to make the same circuit for several modules and enable/disable different features depending on the price target.
Canon are far more likely to make the firmware harder to dump and hack in future models to PREVENT this. I suspect they're not happy that you can hack the low end modules to have high end features at all.

To save time i believe in: (i) Primary donation with long hose(ii) Weight belt under crotch strap (iii) Wing not suit for buoyancy (iv) Snorkels are pointless http://www.hvsac.co.uk <-- dive club
I understand the point about market segmentation, but I think you missed the fact that the G7 was their top of the line point and shoot and they released the G9, a nearly identical camera, nine months later with RAW in the official firmware.

Yes - so they want you to buy a G9 for RAW mode rather than spending no more money with them. And they want to stop people buying cheap G7s when they want them buying G9s.

I have tried to change the <ALT> button with the G7, but that option isn't supported by CHDK firmware for the G7. Unfortunate.
Just an update for anyone interested: the latest "allbest" firmware version for the G7 now allows you to change the <ALT> button from the shortcut button to the AE Lock/FE Lock button. This change allows people who use the WP-DC11 housing to shoot in manual mode and change the shutter speed and aperture!
SO I just uploaded the CHDK hack for my Canon A630! First let me say that it was easy, fairly intuitive, and incredibly seamless (well the only weird event was when I opened the download it wanted to repeatedly open endless new tabs in Firefox??)
When I press the shortcut to activate the RAW function on my A630 I get no indication that is is actually activated. Is this a "its just on" kind of thing or is there an icon that I am supposed to see to know that it is on?
For my camera its the Direct print (ALT) and +/- buttons. I press them and noting appears to happen??
Linear Mode
