SD1200IS

Canon Powershot SD1200IS / IXUS95IS / IXY DIGITAL 110 IS

The Powershot SD1200IS / IXUS95IS was released on February 17, 2009

CHDK is available for the Powershot SD1200IS / IXUS95IS with firmware version 1.00C from the Download page. A beta version for firmware 1.00B is available from the SD1200 porting forum thread

Note that this camera does not appear to support dual partitions so use an SD card 4G or smaller for Card Lock autobooting. If you would like to help test a fix this, see this post SD1200 IS Porting Thread. Note that CHDK will work with larger cards formatted in FAT32, but only using firmware update mode.

Firmware 1.00C blinked out by syrius, the blinker app & a java version of the used tools are available from the forum (mirror).
SD780IS thread showing that conversion for new cameras is possible http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,3995.0.html
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 in the development thread
