CHDK Compatible Powershot SX series cameras

SX Series
The SX series is pretty similar to the S series. It is too big for a point and shoot, yet lacks a lot of the functionality of a dslr. These cameras can be picked up pretty cheap (*used) because they aren’t the sharpest looking canons on the market. They still can have great optical quality and their larger size enables both larger screens and longer lasting batteries. If all that you care about is the picture then these might make a good tradeoff of price per pixel.

As with every camera purchase, you’ll need to make sure that you end up with an appropriate memory card (or two), a battery, and charger. If you buy new this is less of a concern, but a lot of these cameras are only really available on the used market so keep an eye out for what accessories are bundled with the camera.
