Thanks, Rich. Hope you're doing fine. Warning about Need4Digital. Hours after placing my order I received an email to call and confirm my order. I called them Monday morning, and a salesman was trying to sell me accessories at what seemed to be very high prices. I check prices of accessories then called back to confirm that I only wanted the camera. The salesman said fine, thank you and enjoy the camera. About 20-minutes later I received another email saying "Sorry" your item is not in stock and could take several weeks. Not a good way to run a business. At this point, I wouldn't trust or recommend Need4Digital. I'll move on to a more trusted place. Wow, very cool! Thanks, Rich. Hope you’re doing fine.

It's a wickedly cool niche where the participants are retasking point-and-shoot cameras to embrace functionality previously exclusive to the domain of fancy DSLRs, as well as new functionality not hitherto conceived. http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/G9 My cousin Jesse Vincent, @obra, is shopping around for his CHDK capable point-and-shoot right now, so I'll tell him about what you've found.
