Digital Rebel

My USB cord suddenly no longer worked to upload photos to my iMac.
Apple support advised me to get a new USB or use a card reader. I used a card reader - which worked.
So then I erased the CF card. Now the CF card no longer works.
I purchased a new CF card and that doesn't work either.
I purchased a new battery -- that didn't make any difference.
When a CF card is in the camera, it will turn on, but that's it. None of the buttons work, the LCD monitor won't even light up.
When there's NO CF card in the camera, the buttons will work and the LCD monitor comes on -- however, I can't do anything.
I tried to format the CF card, but again, with a CF card in the camera, none of the buttons work, therefore I can't format the CF card.
I also inspected the pins within the camera (that fit into the CF card) -- they appear to be fine, not bent, etc.
Any suggestions of what may be wrong? What should I do?
Thank you!

Your description sounds like it's beyond a usb cord or cf card. The camera may require service but at its age, it's not worth the cost to repair. You can buy a substantially better camera for what it would cost to repair.
HOWEVER... do not dispose of the camera just yet. Phone Canon. They offer a "loyalty" upgrade program which allows you to trade in your non-working camera fora substantial discount on a newer camera (the newer camera may be a refurbished camera but would still carry the same warranty... I wouldn't worry about having a refurb.).
Specifically what models are available will change and you have to phone to find out what they offer. But it typically is the best deal in terms of replacing a very old camera.

Windows 7 64-bit driver for Canon Digital Rebel XT

How do I interface my Canon Digital Rebel XT with a computer running Windows 7 64-bit?

You are correct. Canon does not provide a driver for Windows 7 64-bit. You have to change the communication mode in your camera and then use Windows Photo Gallery or other software to transfer the photos. Here is the response that I received from Canon tech support (it works):
"To connect your camera to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, you'll need to change the communication mode.
To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on. Press the "Menu" button. Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab. Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set". This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT Instruction Manual.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on. Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery, or you may use a card reader to download images. If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com."

Missing photos after import - Canon EOS Digital Rebel

Hi,
After two calls to Apple Support I have solved this issue for this digital roll of 12 raw format images. Here are details for whoever might be interested.
For some reason, iPhoto 6.0.6 was unable to import all of the images from a Canon EOS Digital Rebel camera. 7 out of 12 downloaded fine, however iPhoto seemed to stall at 5 remaining.
Further efforts to rebuild photo library did not help, and the images were never transferred from the camera to the iPhoto 6.0.6 on MacBook Pro Intel (not in original folder).
Then I tried to import the images to the iPhoto 6.0.6 on MacBook Pro Intel via a different user. Then I deleted the first 7 images from the memory card, and tried to import with iPhoto and with ImageCapture. None of these worked.
Then a new memory card with 4 test images (2 large, 2 raw) did import to iPhoto ok.
Then I used Canon File Viewer Utility to drag the 5 images from the first memory card to the desktop. And then I reformatted that memory card.
Before deleting or reformatting the memory card I was also able to import the 12 images to a 12in PowerBookG4 with iPhoto5 version 5.0.4 ok.
From now on however I will be counting the images from card to iPhoto.

Wow. I just installed the universal version of this update and now my iMac won't boot. How swell... It sits at the white screen.
I can hold down the power button and turn it off and on, but that's it. I've tried booting from CD by holding down C and zapping the PRAM and it still just sits at that white screen. I've unplugged it and am going to leave it for about 15 minutes and see if that does it.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Photoshop CS Plugin for Canon Digital Rebel XT

I'm trying to access RAW files on my digital Rebel XT through Photoshop CS. I can't seem to find the right version of plugin. I tried 2.4 but it doesn't look like it supports Digital Rebel XT. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The DNG converter is a stand-alone program that does not rely on Photoshop or any other program to do its thing. It comes packaged with the Camera Raw plug-in, and is updated whenever Camera Raw is updated. Using the converter is very simple:
1. Extract the DNG converter from the zip file and place it wherever you want. The desktop is a good choice.
2. Locate a folder containing raw images. This can be a folder on your hard drive or a card from the camera.
3. Drag the folder containing the raw images and drop the folder onto the DNG converter icon.
4. The DNG converter will start. Choose a destination for your DNG files. Then click on the OK button.
When the DNG converter is finished, just close it and then open Bridge and locate the folder where you told the DNG converter to put your DNG images.

EOD350D/ Digital Rebel raw - unsupported image format ?????

From the raw tech spec page:
Supporting the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon), Aperture provides optimized support for such market leading cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.
URL: http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/
Well, I must be doing something wrong. Ik can see the thumbnails, but once imported I always get 'Unsupported Image Format'.... This is what most aften see in Aperture. I must be overlooking things....
EOS 350D with firmware version 1.0.2
iMac 2GHz/1.5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Ok, messing around in the raw.plist fixed this. Is not an Aperture issue, more an OS X 10.4.3 issue --> http://minimal.cx/2005/11/01/make-os-x-1043-understand-canon-eos-350d-raw-files/

Best RAW Image Processing for Canon Digital Rebel XT - PS Elements 6??

I'm new to RAW image processing and image editing. I just bought a Canon digital Rebel XT. It comes with Canon Digital Professional 2.1 software. I also have Aperture upgraded to 1.5.6, which I have tried on JPEGs from an earlier digital camera that only gave me JPEG files. Since Aperture doesn't give me as much editing diversity, I purchased the newly released Photoshop Elements 6 (and I don't have any experience with Photoshop). Thus, I now have 3 different RAW image processors. Does anyone have some experience with these 3 to suggest which one is best? The learning curve looks pretty steep, and it would be helpful to know which of these to focus on, at least initially.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Now that you have the Canon DPP installed i would update it to version 3.2 which is at Canons site.
Now, DPP has the best conversion quality for Canon RAW files. I used it a lot and although limited in what adjustments you have, it offers the essential adjustments and I liked it a lot.
Aperture also does a great job with Canon RAW files, but version 2.1 is even better
Photoshop Elements 6 I have not used but I do use Photoshop CS3
Personally for RAW I prefer Canon DPP over Adobe Camera Raw
And I prefer Aperture over Adobe Camera RAW too.
Now that Aperture has improved it's RAW conversion immensely and it offers tethered shooting with the XT, I am using Aperture exclusively to process RAW files.
An application like Elements or Photoshop CS3 are great if you want to do more advanced layered work and layer blending effects, however, for sepia , black/white, general image color & saturation or desaturated effects and good RAW conversion? I am all about using Aperture.
Now although I use it on a MBP, I will only do edit and color judging when attached to a cinema display or any good LCD with a DVI connection to the laptop.
But in conclusion, for RAW adjustments may as well focus on Aperture and use Elements for the few edits that Aperture does not allow.

Canon Digital Rebel XTi RAW support?

I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi and cannot get RAW files to import into iPhoto. I even tried the Image Capture trick (downloading to disk and then importing) to no avail. The file format is listed as CR2, which is supposed to be supported. Is it possible that Canon is using a different variant of the CR2 format for this camera and that I'll have to wait for another iPhoto or OS X update?

I'm having the same issue - RAW images (both sRGB and AdobeRGB) from the new Rebel XTi will not open in iPhoto.
It is important to note that the same images will not open in Photoshop CS2, nor with Adobe Bridge 1.0 and even with the updated Bridge 1.0.4.6.
I would hope that Apple will recognize that there is a significant difference in file format from the Rebel XT and the Rebel XTi - and that Apple will issue an update to iPhoto accordingly.
For now, looks like Rebel XTi users will need to limp along on Canon's proprietary (and u-u-ugly) software provided with the XTi.

I HAVE A CANON DIGITAL REBEL EOS 300D CAMERA. THE CF CARD WAS PUT IN THE CARD SLOT WRONG &DAMANAGED

I HAVE A CANON DIGITAL REBEL EOS 300D CAMERA. THE CF CARD WAS PUT IN THE CARD SLOT INCORRECTLY AND THE CARD SLOT WAS DAMANAGED. CAN THIS BE REPAIRED. AND HOW MUCH.

Hi Ronald,
I'm sorry to hear that the pins in the memory card compartment of your Digital Rebel have been bent.
Because the service life for this camera has expired, Canon no longer offers service for it. I'm sorry for the difficulty this causes.

Camera Connector+Canon Digital Rebel XT or SanDisk's reader

Does anyone know if Apple's iPod Camera Connector work with Canon Digital Rebel XT camera or with SanDisk's ImageMate CF Reader?

I have a answer for all of you regarding this question.....
I decided to give a risk and buy that connector and check it out by myself. Well, it doesn't work with SanDisk ImageMate CF Reader, BUT it WORKS with Canon Digital Rebel XT ! All you have to do is change in your menu option from PC to Print. I bought 5G iPod and everything works fine. That only big minus, it's slooooow. Downloading photos to you iPod is just super slooow.

RAW Images from Canon Digital Rebel XT

Does (or will) iPhoto 5 support the RAW files from the Canon Digital Rebel XT?

Hi David,
I have a Canon 20D which is supported in RAW mode.
The following dpreview report outlines the CD software download Canon Zoombrowser EX:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/page16.asp
It has a RAW image task which comes as a plug-in with the supplied software.
If the RAW can only be manipulated in the Canon software, a JPEG copy could be saved to iphoto.
I do agree a specific standard would be very helpful.
Best wishes,
Scott

Canon Digital Rebel XT NOW supported!!!!!!

The 10.4.3 update has now updated the system to support the .CR2 raw files that the Digital Rebel XT makes. I notice that I could open them in Preview.app now so I figured I would give iPhoto a try and yup they import just as expected.(Finally!)
Hope everyone that has been waiting for this is happy. I know I am.
Matt

As long as the photo in iPhoto has the little RAW under it when I drag it from the library it shows up in photoshop as a raw image.
You might try reverting to original image before you try to drag it out of the library. The problem I have with this is when you are done and save it back iPhoto doesn't seem ti understand that this is an edited photo. So it looks like you will have to re-import the edited image.

Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i

Hi! I want to buy Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T1i 15.1-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black, and on bestbuy website says: "digital camera that features an 18-55mm image stabilized zoom lens" But when I come to store, I saw this camera and this kit lens without IS. How it can be?? is it different products, in local store and in online store?? Thank You.

_Hungry wrote:
I don't know what the lens was there, but "Stabilizer" or something like this isn't on it , and the bestbuy worker said that this kit camera doesn't have IS.
Ask to see an unopened box that includes the kit. If it claims that the lens has IS, purchase the unit and open the box in the parking lot to verify that it is an IS lens. Hard for them to argue that you pulled a swap if you come immediately back from the parking lot. (The longer you wait to open, verify, and return, the harder it is to return an "inconsistent" unit.)
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

Support for tethered shooting for Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i

I just read online that Apple Aperture 3.1.2 won't tether to my Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i under OS X 10.6.7. Is this true? If so, is there a workaround or some software I can install?
Thanks,
Joe

BTW - in case anyone is wondering, I've tested this... Canon T1i does work with tethering. (this camera is natively supported by Aperture for purposes of tethering)
For any cases where there is a camera which is not supported directly, there is also a work-around which should work for almost any camera.
Go to the Aperture plug-ins page: http://www.apple.com/aperture/resources/plugins.html
Look for a plug-in called "Aperture Hot Folders" (direct link is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/aperturehotfolder.html?cmp )
The plug-in monitors a folder (of your choosing). Any image which shows up in that folder will automatically be imported into an Aperture project (it's on-the-fly). Essentially you'd use the Canon EOS Utility to do the tethering, which requires that you pick a target folder where it'll save all pictures you shoot during the tethered session. You then tell Aperture Hot Folders to monitor that same folder and import any images found into an Aperture project. It gives you the ability to create tethering support for any camera that can do "tethering" even if Aperture doesn't directly support the specific camera (by using the manufacturer's own tethering utility.)

Aperture stripping 8 pixels from Canon Digital Rebel CRW files?

hi,
I just wanted to see if anyone else was having the issue I am. I'm using Aperture with CRW files from a Digital Rebel, which are 3072x2048 in resolution. However, upon import into Aperture, images are listed as 3072x2040 in resolution. Exporting JPGs confirms that the images are only 2040 pixels in height. Converting the same RAW files in Photoshop results in images that are 2048 pixels in height.
What happened to those 8 pixels? It is kind of a pain because the 3072x2040 files are now not exactly a 3:2 aspect ratio...

yeah, I recognize that it's a very small "loss" of information, but it's just a little bit annoying because of the loss of the 3:2 aspect ratio. I just sent some of the 2040 images out for printing so hopefully there won't be an issue there.
I noticed that the crop tool, when you tell it to use a 3:2 aspect ratio, will generate crops that aren't exactly 3:2 pixel-wise. Again, it's very close, but I just feel like there's no reason why it shouldn't be exact.
Thanks for everyone's help! I guess I should start thinking about this as more of a "feature" than anything else...

Raw Converter for Digital Rebel XT

I have iphoto 6 and a Digital Rebel XT - it has taken great pictures in jpeg but I always wanted to know the benefit of shooting raw.
I just took some pictures in Raw +jpeg setting but need to convert and .....
1- please advice on which raw converter to use?
2- Are there any free converters that would work?
3- Is it a difficult process to convert?
please advice on the proper steps. Have no knowledge of the process.
thanks,

How many ways can I say this:
There is no best. There is no simpler. Each Raw processor will give you slightly different results, only you can decide which you like best. And as I have no idea what your experience is, how can I tell which one you will find most simple? You really have to some work on this yourself. Go to MacUpdate, search, download, explore, test and make your own mind up.
Regards
TD
