Support for Canon Powershot S400 (Digital Ixus 400)

Hello,

First of all, thanks a lot for that wonderful software. I concluded it was the best after having checked a lot of this kind. And I would add that the latest version of ZoomBrowser (v4) is really far away from being on top of my list... :(

My only problem is the support of the Canon Powershot S400 (aka Digital Ixus 400) that I just bought. Is there any hope to see a version of cam2pc supporting that model?
I have to keep ZoomBrowser installed just to download my pictures & movies. :(

Thanks again.

The new S400 uses a new protocol for transfering the pictures: PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). S50, A300, A60 and A70 use this protocol also. This seems to be the problem.

As a developer I did not get any information from Canon whereas they will allow us to support their latest cameras. I'll try to get more info from Canon.

Thanks for your efforts. Hopefully Canon will give you all required information.

Hello,

I have contacted Nikon and they told me that they will soon release new components that will allow cam2pc to support their latest cameras (including the A70 and S400). I am really dependant on Nikon for this. As soon as I get something from them I'll incorporate it into cam2pc.

Any news on that? I tried my Ixus400 on windows 2000 and it freezes :cry: Connection wizard. But I can see that 2 persons are using Ixus400 and cam2pc. :shock:

No news yet from Canon. For people reporting that cam2pc does work with the Ixus400 it's probably because they use a card reader and this fools cam2pc.

The new cam2pc 3.1.3 beta works fine with my Ixus 400.
You find a link to the 3.1.3 beta version in the sticky topic
"Support for Canon Powershot A70, and other new Canon cameras",
at the very top of the postings list.
