Looks Great Wayne - I`ll be grabbing one (likely a used one) to replace the Ixus-500HS as soon as CHDK gets RAW support to this cam .

Thanks Adam! I took some landscapes today, and when viewing at 100%, I noticed the patented CMOS watercolor noise reduction in effect. I guess I've gotten used to RAW with the V1 files, which are pretty clean.

A few years back, you convinced me to get the S210 for it's CCD sensor (I also had the CHDK hack going for it), and the IQ was quite good. Sadly I had to let the S210 go a while back.

I was initially thinking that I wouldn't bother with the CHDK hack for the 330, but I suppose that I should consider it assuming that l'd be able to then control the effects of the noise reduction somewhat (I'm assuming LR4 would be able to handle the 330's DNG files as it does the S210's). Do you think the 330's DNG image quality will be comparable to the S210's?

And which thread do you follow to determine when the CHDK is available? I've been looking here.

Oops, I mean this CHDK thread here!
