I have Canon PowerShow A610 digital camera. Today I've found a unofficial, free, powerful firmware for it, as well as other models from Canon. It's called CHDK - Canon Hacker Development Kit. Installation is quite easy and totally safe - it's enought to put the software onto SD card. On Windows this can be done with CardTricks application. The firmware adds some useful features, like:

• New HUD elements: battery indicator, free memory, live histogram
• Bracketing - for exposure, aperture, ISO and focus
• Saving RAW/DNG files
• Zebra - highlighting of overexposed and underexposed areas
• File browser, calendar, Basic/Lua scripting, some games and much more.

I recommend this firmware to anyone who owns a Canon camera. Mine now looks like this:
