This hack software for the Canon Powershots is going to be a LOT of fun. I tried playing with it with a "motion detection" script running this evening, and results are promising. I screwed up in that A)I had the ISO set to 800, so the results are unacceptably grainy, and B) it was set in RAW mode (normally not supported by this camera, but capability added via the software and I must have bumped the setting while crusing menus). So the results weren't that great, but still, it's nice to just point the camera at a feeding area, turn it on, and go inside while the camera shoots whenever something gets in front of it. And that's just one script that someone wrote for this addon. You can pretty much do anything you can think of. Heck, they put some games in while they were at it.

I'll try again later with better settings and more light; this was taken in the evening.
