Hi all
To any Pro (or serious amateur) photogs out there.

I'm currently still using XP (as a VM) on one computer for "Tethered shooting" (Camera is a Canon 1DS M3).

Fortunately it still works as a Virtual XP machine

I haven't been able to get any tethered software to work on W7 yet -- anybody else suceeded yet.

Tried the Canon EOS utility -- Not supported for this OS :mad:

Tried this in "compatability mode" -- also no go.

DSLR Remote Pro - Remote Control/Tethered Operation of Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II, 5D, 30D, 400D, DIGITAL REBEL XTi, 20D, 30D, 40D, EOS-1D, EOS-1DS, 10D, 350D, DIGITAL REBEL XT, Kiss Digital N, 300D, DIGI

I need tethered shooting when working in a Studio.

Anyone else had any luck -- doesn't have to be this camera model but any CANON that is "Tetherable". Nikon stuff may work but I'm certainly not switching Camera systems.

Cheers
jimbo

Hi Jimbo,

Bibble runs on Windows 7 7077 with no issues and includes tethered shooting control for Canon cameras, although have not used it

Bibble Labs: Download or Purchase

They do a trial so you could check it out, if suitable it's just a case of sourcing a copy at the best price, on the net :)

I've tried both Nikon's and Bibble's (mentioned above) camera control functions with my Nikon bodies and both seem to work as claimed (I do not normally shoot tethered - just tried it to see if it worked). Hopefully, the Bibble solution will work for you.

Hi all.

Bibble works fine -- will probably go for it until Canon fixes its stuff (Canon is ALWAYS slow at this however -- I think they've just come off Windows 2000). :mad:
