operating two DSLRs on the same laptop?

[madjohn]

Hi folks,

I have just bought a new Canon 550D for christmas, yay!

Question I want to ask is, is it possible to operate my 450D and 550D AT the same time using the same laptop?

It would be useful to shoot the same object at two different fields of view at the same time.

I am very familiar with the Canon EOS utility so would be great if I could operate the two cameras using it.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Cheers John

Yes but not using EOS Utils... But easy using APT.... I use it to run a 1000D and 500D at the same time...

Thanks Billy, bought the APT software for not a lot and it seems to be a great software application.

I've tested it and it operates the two cameras fine, just got to get familiar with it now:eek:

It is exceptinally good value for money.. and is actively being developed by Ivo (Yoddha) and getting better all the time...

Havent used it myself for a few months what with one thing and another but hoping to get some time to set the kit up and get back out there over Crimbo...
