There is even more to CHDK. It includes some non-photography-related utilities such as a file browser to examine the contents of your memory card, a text file reader (which I suppose could be photography-related if you were to include notes or shot lists), a perpetual calendar, and some simple games.
If you decide that you like CHDK enough that you prefer shooting with it to shooting with the factory firmware, there is a procedure that allows you to autoload CHDK every time, instead of following the Firm Update / reboot process. There are two minor caveats with the procedure, however..
First, the auto-load feature may not work with memory cards larger than 2GB in size. Second, you have to start the camera in Play mode first, then switch to Rec mode to begin shooting. That's not difficult to do, but it could cost you a few seconds of precious shooting time while someone else snaps that million-dollar UFO pic.
When you get comfortable with CHDK, you can check out user-supplied scripts. CHDK's scripting environment uses a simple BASIC-like language that lets you write your own scripts to automate camera functions -- but not to create whole new features for the camera. User-contributed scripts are available on the CHDK wiki, and implement interesting functions like HDR stacking, focus bracketing, time-lapse movies, and lightning photography.

Josh MoreI picked up my S2 IS to use as a lightweight, carry-anywhere camera -- useful for when I needed a shot but didn't have my SLR handy. Even though I'm happy with its optics and portability, its lack of RAW power and manual control always made it a second-cl
