Hey all

I have been looking into transferring images in real time to my laptop. I have seen some wireless transfer units (WTE range) which are super duper expensive, i was wondering if there is a way you can transfer files in real time using a cable. :thinking:
If so, does anyone know what you need? or how fast it is? or any common problems/downfalls with this method?

I am using a Canon EOS 30d, with a laptop running Windows 7

any advice appreciated :)
 
The Canon software that comes with your camera allows you to shoot tethered with a cable and it's pretty simple to set up! Select the folder to save in to and open that folder in DPP and watch the photos arrive :) Alternatively the Lightroom 3 is also a good option, or so I hear!

I've had a play.

It's not as fully featured as using the Canon software - you only get to trigger the shutter, but have no software control of any of the settings on the camera. It will import the images directly into your LR library, though.

Useful for when you know that you're going to be able to get at the camera easily for any adjustments or the conditions are tightly controlled so you can just leave it as set up (e.g. studio or time-lapse).
 
aparrently theres plenty the canon software can do, didnt realise tethered shooting was one of them. Going to have a look when i get home tonight, see what we can do.

i assume this will be slower than saving to a memory card, so have any of you had experiences where the transfer rate can't keep up with you??
