Here is the first Time Lapse I feel comfortable releasing created from my modified (CHDK Hacked) Canon Powershot S95.

Now the reason I said "comfortable", was this wasn't the first time lapse I did with the camera. The first few tests were to just discover it's capabilities. While they were technically fine, little attention was paid to framing or composition. Daytime time lapses are also trickier with this camera because, in order for a smooth video, you need to drag the shutter. Doing that in the day lets in a lot of light. The camera does not have a filter thread to add any ND stops (that I knew of at the time), so I needed to close the iris as far as I could, and even that didn't balance against the added light. I thought it's strength would be at night, where I could keep the camera wide open while dragging the shutter. This video was shot with a shutter speed of half a second, with a picture being taken every second. It was shot in a .CR2 RAW format on a Class 4 Sandisk card. I think the image interval could have been snappier, because I did notice a slight pause when it was writing the RAW image to a disk. I'll have to test it using a faster card.

A benefit to this camera that I always have to deal with using DLSRs is the "aperture flicker" that can happen if you happen to have the f-stop anything other than "wide open". This happens because the iris opens and closes for each shot. I saw none of that when I was shooting my tests. I had the camera at an f8 and had absolutely no visible strobe.

I am excited to add this camera to my kit. It is small enough that I can put it on an arm and clamp, mount it virtually anywhere, and it takes up very little room in my gear pack. I see myself setting this up and letting it run while I am able to concentrate on full motion footage with my T2i. Thus doubling my productivity out in the field. If I did have to recommend this, I would suggest the Powershot S100. It can accept the CHDK modification, and it is capable of FULL HD video recording as well.

You are welcome to use them in your projects you are working on or keep them in your clip library for future work. The only thing you cannot do is turn around and offer them AS stock footage. Have fun with them!
