What is a kosher  camera?  What's wrong with the old Canon SureShots?
They have wifi? If that's the problem, is it really a big concern?

I don't know about that specific model, but most companies no longer make the $100-$300 range cameras anymore. All the Canon Powershots are extinct.

Ebay. You can get a great deal, $30 or so, on good basic cameras. Just make sure that they are tested before you buy it.
I suggest the cannon sx130 for a younger kid (10 year old).

Please don't try changing the firmware of your camera unless there is something wrong with it.

You can get used Cannon ELPHs on ebay for ~$150 or Mercari for >$100.
Check the specs on each one.

If you haven't used Mercari yet, get $10 off with this link: https://merc.li/HTbMkqd2b

CHDK doesn't change the firmware, and there doesn't have to be something wrong to use it. It adds functionality

1. The link you sent also has a link to firmware updates
2. And to quote the website: "CHDK is a firmware enhancement that operates on a number of Canon Cameras. CHDK gets loaded into your camera's memory upon bootup (either manually or automatically). It provides additional functionality beyond that currently provided by the native camera firmware."
And the warning: "Some users have reported permanent camera damage which may be connected to CHDK, see Camera failures suspected to be caused by CHDK This is not certain, proceed at your own risk."

So i repeat: Its not worth bricking your camera.

Seems to be a specific model issue found for 1-3 people not on the latest version, so yes for this model it's somewhat of a risk. (read the reports for specifics)

Wanna join me for a game? ;)


Just recently pulled it up on a old camera lying around
