Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to download the drivers
/ software for the Canon EOS Digital Rebel? I'm finding it annoying to
have to keep swapping my wireless network card and my the card reader I
use to copy the pictures onto my laptop's harddrive. I've tried
connecting the camera to my laptop via a USB cable, but I get told I
don't have the appropriate driver, and my install CDs are back in
Australia.

I've looked at the Canon site, but all i can find is software to
upgrade an existing installation.
Any help very appreciated!

Much warmth,

planetthoughtful

What OS are you using? I have no problem with Windows XP but all sorts
of problems with Windows 2000 Pro even with the drivers installed.

Drivers here:

Otherwise, goto Canon's site (canon.com) -> Americas -> Downloads ->
Select camera -> Windows Drivers.

HTH,

Siddhartha

Consider buying a usb 2.0 card reader for compact flash cards. Not
expensive, will have its own driver, is portable between machines, and
is a helluva lot faster than the usb 1.1 interface in the 300D. That's
providing your laptop is usb 2.0 capable. But even if not, the card
reader is still a good choice. Beats plugging in the camera and
flattening its battery. It's what I do here.

Which OS are you using ? There are Windows drivers available from Canon's
site at http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/

If you have Linux, you don't need any driver. gphoto2 can download from
300D directly. GUI front end for gphoto2 is gtkam.

Thanks to all!

I've downloaded the drivers and am now able to access my camera
directly via USB.

Much warmth,
