Canon 300D driver for windows 7???

[Torazz]

Hi,

I've searched the net for over 3 hours and am at my wits end.

This winter i thought i'd connect my camera to my pc remotely for batch image taking.

Problem is i cannot find a way to get my Canon 300D to connect to my pc as there is no windows 7 driver.

In all utilities including EOS Utility it will not detect my camera.

Can anyone advise me of a way around this?

When you plug the 300d into the computer via the USB cables that comes with it what happens?

Unlikely to Happen - Canon have basically said that they will only develop camera drivers for new OS's for 7 years...

There was a similar thread a few weeks back might have been for the 350D...

You should be able to use DSLR shutter to take exposures using a serial Shutter adaptor and usb-serial lead... but the images will be captured to the camera and you wont be able to look at the capture on the PC screen...

I can confirm that Canon are not interested, several e-mails regarding the subject of 300d drivers for win 7 were either ignored or given the cursory reply of win 7 not supported what can i say ? apart from cheers canon !

How about Windows XP mode?
