eric, thanks for the link.

I've tried it on the A710is, my friend tried on his A620.

Features tested:
1. battery meter: working fine, good stuff
2. using zoom button to adjust MF: i find it not really that useful
3. reading text files and folder: may come in handy
4. live histogram: kinda blocks to much of the screen, i'll pass on this
5. GAMES!!!: reversi and some boxworld game.. useful for decos
6. RAW: haven't really tried editting from raw but the file size (10-15% more) seems kinda small compared to oly raws

The software disappears completely without any side effects when you change the SD card or power off the cam, so i believe it should be warranty safe. And yes, it doesn't kill your cam.

7. Tried zebra: This is to show over and under exposed areas. Very useful if you're shooting contrasty shots

am gonna try it on the A640 this weekend on land shots. hopefully it doesnt screw up the camera.

Just want to share that I tried the HDK on my A610 and it works great. Have had some initial problems reading .CRW & .CR2 files created by it. But after upgrading my picasa to 2.7 than no further issues. What I love most is the blended histogram and the zebra highlight. now i got a very compact good camera!
