Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / April 2006WiFi adaptor
Anybody know of a wi-fi adaptor that I could plug into the USB of Canon 350D (Rebel) and the reveiver in my PC thatwill work with something like zoombrowser to enable me to review the pics fairly swiftly after being shot. Spoek to Canon and they don't do one so if there is one, then it's gotta be from somewhere else Look forward to hearing from you guys Rob >Anybody know of a wi-fi adaptor that I could plug into the USB of Canon 350D >(Rebel) and the reveiver in my PC thatwill work with something like >zoombrowser to enable me to review the pics fairly swiftly after being shot. > >Spoek to Canon and they don't do one so if there is one, then it's gotta be >from somewhere else I would say you would be off better to upgrade to a 20D which does support Canon's Wireless unit. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&kw=CAWFTE1&is=REG&Q=&O =productlist&sku=365948  Signature"I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony.

It take more than an adapter. The camera has to be able to support it in it's firmware. That's why the 20D didn't until firmware update 2.0.0 . He's better off just getting a good used 20D and the Canon Wireless unit. Signature"I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony.

Why so, all it has to do is present the computer interface as though the wire was there - then the camera will look like a flash drive or whatever its driver does with it. > The camera has to be able to support it > in it's firmware.

Does it have to be wireless? If it's the "instant review" that's important, you can achieve this using EOS Capture. I have been using Zoombrowser which has, I think, an instant remote capture in it, my problem is that the distance from my PC to shooting area is about 15 metres and I have been using a USB to Cat5 (ethernet) converter set. This has recently started giving problems and was looking to got wireless as the next advancement Rob >> Anybody know of a wi-fi adaptor that I could plug into the USB of Canon >> 350D (Rebel) and the reveiver in my PC thatwill work with something like [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Does it have to be wireless?

AFAIK the video out connector outputs what's on the screen - so if you set the camera to display the image when taken you might be able to extend the video out via a cable to a suitable display device? Sounds like best bet might be to just pickup a 2nd hand 20D (going for a song these days) and get the Canon WiFi kit (not sure how much that costs though) >I have been using Zoombrowser which has, I think, an instant remote capture >in it, my problem is that the distance from my PC to shooting area is about [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Does it have to be wireless?

The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated." -James Nachtwey- http://www.jamesnachtwey.com/ The image doesn't have to be captured, but as I tend to shoot 5 or 10 framesand review the pics for lighting etc, using the video out would be awkward. Examples of my creative lighting / shooting can be seen at www.robm.web-models.co.uk with the model named Deanna It also makes it easier if they are on the PC to quickly let the model select the one's she wants and drop them to a CD Thanks for the comments though Rob > Plan B ... > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>> Does it have to be wireless? If it's the "instant review" that's >>> important, you can achieve this using EOS Capture. Dear Rob, I just bought a pocket size Canon camera and it came with ZoomBrowser EX. I haven't loaded it yet, but this program will allow you to see your shots as they are taken on a computer and it also will record the images onto your computer's hard drive via a USB-camera cord. You could use it on a laptop so it can be in the same area of your camera set up. I bought an extra USB-camera cord and it's now 6 feet long. I think there is a speed issue if you string USB cords out to far from the peripherals but I may be wrong. Good luck, Dave >I have been using Zoombrowser which has, I think, an instant remote capture >in it, my problem is that the distance from my PC to shooting area is about [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Does it have to be wireless?

Yes, I also use Zoombrowser and the principle works great and my clients love it Yes there data transfer problems with length of cable which was why originally I went to a USB to Ethernet converter set and upto 100 metres of Cat 5. Can't follow down the laptop route as Idon't have a laptop and I guess it could be cheaper to buy 20D and wifi but thanks for the reply Rob M > Dear Rob, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >>> Does it have to be wireless?
