Canon DSLR to Laptop viewing.

I would like to view my DSLR images as I take them on my laptop.
Particularly when I am photographing a musical event where keeping
track of how the exposures are going is important.

I have the necessary camera USB to laptop USB cable but am not aware
of what if any application should be running on the laptop.

Thanks for any input.

Lightroom 3 will do it, as well as the software that came with your camera.

....as long as you run Windows, of course.

The canon software works on Mac. For very small values of 'work'.

I gave up. It was far easier to chimp it than try to shoot with all
that muck hanging off it.

I have not tried the wireless adapter. I would have to pay silly money
or borrow one, but I don't know anyone that rich and silly. In any
case, its main use would be letting the client see what he's paying
for. And he'd have to be paying heaps so you could afford to waste that
much loot on toys instead of good glass.

For exposure checks, chimping the histogram on the camera screen would
be far more convenient. If you were wanting to check focus with extreme
care you might get some benefit from pixel peeping on your computer, as
long as you are prepared to wait quite a few seconds between shot
attempts.

That makes no sense.

Lightroom runs on Macs too.

And the version that came with my camera works under Wine (in linux),
whereas the latest version crashes badly. As it happens, I do have a
virtualbox xp for Trados, so I can use the new version on there if need be.
