Canon
Posted: Sun 23 July, 2006 Filed under: Customer Services, Photography, Weirdness 2 Comments »I knew there was something I hadn’t installed on the new PC, and today it came to me. All the drivers and software for the EOS20D – no drivers, no software, nowt. Ooops.
And just when did I discover this? Yep, when I was trying to move some photos around. Ain’t it always the way?
And then when I looked on the Canon site, it’s got all the bloody updaters and revisions for the software, but has it got the original files? Has it buggery. Cue a mad hunt through the CD Graveyard – really must organise that a bit better at some point – and eventually found the relevant CD.
So now I’ve installed all the original programs etc., and then I have to update them all. It’s fucking bizarre.
Ah well.
I don’t use them… XP picks up the camera just fine, as does Picasa. Simple. Effective… etc etc.
Yeah, I’m the same as Gordon. I recently splashed out on a Canon EOS-30D, and found that I could just plug it straight into my iBook, and iPhoto would automatically download all the shots for me. Think the CD that came with the camera is still in its sealed envelope.
