[edit] PowerShot S5 IS

The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is a 8.0 megapixel bridge digital camera.

CHDK is available for the S5 with firmware version 1.01A and 1.01B from the Download page

[edit] Reviews and Specifications

The S5 lacks an intervalometer, even though the S1, S2, and S3 have one. The closest thing it has natively is a "custom timer" -- a timer that will take multiple photos. Use a CHDK intervalometer script to add this feature.
RAW samples have been submitted to rawsamples.ch and are also available for direct download [1].

Another camera with 1.01B (American-bought) returned a timestamp of Jun 14 2007 20:11:19. Note that this is the same timestamp as the European one below.
