Canon Tethered shooting from Windows

Cute Canon Capture is an open source and free program to control your Canon camera using a USB cable.

I haven't tried it personally, but I can see it being extremely useful in certain situations, especially studio product photography.

Cute Canon Capture runs on Windows only (sad) and works on the following Canon camera models:
  • PowerShot A620
  • PowerShot S80
  • PowerShot S3 IS
  • PowerShot G7
  • PowerShot A640
  • PowerShot S5 IS
  • PowerShot G9
  • PowerShot SX100 IS
  • PowerShot G10
  • PowerShot SX110 IS

Long Distance Camera Trigger


Here's a simple DIY project on how to turn a pair of walkie talkies into a long distance camera trigger, especially for photographing wildlife.
