Are any Canon EOS 20D users out there using EOS Capture? Plusses? Minuses? Best for...? Worst at...?

  David: That software is fine for correcting RAW images and converting them to TIFF. It's versatile and produces excellent image quality.

But it's a bit slow.

If you own Photoshop Elements 4, you can convert your RAW files using that software. But be sure to download the most recent RAW converter update

... Learn more about Camera Raw and the Digital Negative (DNG), and download the latest plug-ins. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

  Peter,

Thanks for your response.

I'm already using Photoshop CS2 for conversions and editing. My question was more aimed at the pros and cons of shooting with the camera tethered to a computer.

EOS Capture lets you control almost all aspects of exposure, and it quickly and automatically transfers both the image and the sidecar file to the computer. Obviously, this wouldn't be a good setup at a sporting event, but it seems like tethered shoots might offer some advantages for studio and landscape work.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have - thx

  David: Oh ... I see.

No, I never shoot with my EOS camera (1Ds Mk II) tethered to a computer.

Apparently, some studio photographers do, but this is not up my alley. See www.peterkburian.com
