CHDK has to be one of the most innovative improvements to any camera that has ever come along since the beginning of photography. Started out by some people who only wanted RAW out of their raw- crippled cameras, it has now grown into one of the most adaptable, flexible, and full-featured operating systems of any cameras ever made. We are all extremely grateful for the work that everyone has put into this arena of discovery, implementation, coding, sharing, camera testing, (especially with the unknown, and possibly high risk), and those that provide all the information on the Wiki pages (and elsewhere in the world). Those who have contributed to this great stride in the world of photography deserve a huge vote of thanks.

Many thanks go to the original developers vitalyb, and GrAnd, ewavr, owenjm, Harvester, jeff666, [mr.anon], MX3, Fingalo, Allbest, CHDKLover, BarneyFife, also to Jucifer and PhyrePhoX, to cosmograph for the excellent CHDK logo, and to all the others mentioned or not, in History of CHDK on page 47
