[gphoto-devel] SD430, SD900 and other canon SD cameras

[Gregory D. <du...@ci...>]

I just saw another query about SB cameras, and specifically the SD430  
(over USB).  I got this
directly from Canon today (April 23, 2007).  (I don't get while  
remote shooting isn't
supported in the SD line, as all the hardware needed is already in  
place.)

Thank you for your inquiry regarding our PowerShot digital cameras with
the ability to be controlled remotely over a USB connection.  We value
you as a Canon customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

The following current models support remote shooting:

  1.  PowerShot G7.
  2.  PowerShot S3 IS
  3.  PowerShot A640

Unfortunately, the only SD-Series camera that supports remote shooting
is the PowerShot SD430.  This will only work over the wireless
connection and not the USB connection.  We currently do not have any
information regarding any future model SD-Series cameras that will have
this feature.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with our
PowerShot digital cameras.

Thank you for choosing Canon.
