With Canon you… erm, Can’t

Ok, so a year’s gone by, summer’s come around again and I wanted to do some more time-lapse photos, this time using my Eee PC as the host PC controlling the timing. So I routed through all my old driver CD’s and couldn’t find the Canon Digital Solutions CD with the Remote Capture software on it. I’d lost the CD!

I immediately went to the Canon website thinking I’d be able to download the drivers etc from there… and I was right. Almost. I gleefully found here the software I needed (or thought I needed) and proceeded to download it by clicking on the ‘English’ link towards the top right. Then I was presented with this…

Now you might be able to imagine how damned annoyed I was at this. For a respectable company such as Canon to not have working download links to software / drivers which are imperative to have in order to make the product work with a PC is quite frankly laughable.

Thankfully I’m wily in the ways of the internets and was able to find a copy of my missing CD (or one very similar to it) by searching on TPB and downloaded it. Now I’m just waiting for it to complete, unfortunately I’ve already missed one beautiful sunset this evening. Hopefully I won’t miss tomorrow’s!
