You can write a script (or download a re-written one from the CHDK Wiki site) to use the camera's own image sensor to trigger photography...think lightning strikes, movement, or other parameters...

CHDK is of no use if you don't have a Canon camera or if your Canon camera is a DSLR. There is Magic Lantern for Canon DSLRs. I have every respect for what these developers have done, but there are advantages in using external devices for triggering - easily adapted to just about any camera with probably no more than a different cable. You also have a wider range of triggering sensors at your disposal.
