Available firmware dumps

SD1200IS firmware version 1.00c (4MB), blinked out by syrius (forum link), starting at 0xFFC00000: megaupload link, also available from the chdkdumps2 drop.
this camera is also running on a semi-functional port of CHDK compiled by KevB, that port is under testing by members of the community, the port is capable of saving raw files and it can run scripts (exposure has been overridden with Tv mode universal script and motion detection scrips seem to work fine) but no zoom or focusing has been overridden yet, there is no usb shutter function either. it can be found here
