Dang! Canon Rebel XT is not compatble with Windows@#$%7

[signmeup]

Just got off the phone with Canon service rep. My Canon Rebel XT is "not compatible" with Windows 7. Nice. Canon apparently has no intention of remedying this.

I could see this if it were some old obscure make that they only sold a few of. There must thousands of these things still in use all over the planet.

Sure, I can get images off the camera into the computer but not with any organization. It will no longer make a folder with the date etc. for each batch of photos I take. It's just the same as dragging them off a thumb drive now.

I hate change for the sake of change.

Well dont they have a replacement that IS ?

 

[CanuckSigns]

is there a program you can use instead? Like Adobe Lightroom?

Yeah... it's called a Nikon.

You must be the only person on the planet that uses the windows photo transfer method.

Use Lightroom or Picasa or whatever. I actually prefer manually removing them so I can categorize more appropriately and archive the RAW files before I bring copies of the RAW files into my production flow.

Or use their trade-in program and get a T2i! Love mine, I think I use it for video as much as I do photos.

I used the Canon software the camera came with. (EOS Utility) It created a dated folder for each batch of RAW photos automatically. Made it easy to find stuff even years later.

You don't know how to create a new folder and make it's name the date??

Adobe Bridge automatically creates folders based on the capture date... It's included with PhotoShop.....

import with lightroom. you can even use a tethered capture! (which allows you to have your images displayed on your computer about a second after you take the picture)

Thanks. I'll check out lightroom. I wonder what software they package with a new Canon camera?

I think it's an updated version.

Look, I don't even own a DSLR yet, I've been trying to get one for a while but something always comes up, I borrow a friend's. I've played around in lightroom a bit, it seems like it's a photographer's best friend, but I haven't gone into details with it. I've just done one or two shoots. there are some good tutorials and walkthroughs on youtube.

I got this sorted out. Windows will store the files where I want and in the style to which I am accustomed. It just took some research and fiddling.
