Is it necessary to install the software that comes with a digital camera?

canon digital camera xti image

Justin P

I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi camera that came with 2 software CDs. One is listed as the EOS Digital Solution Disc and it has applications such as Zoom BrowserEX 5.7 and EOS Utility 1.1 on it.

The other is EOS Digital Software Instruction Manual

I've already connected the camera to a friends computer and the Windows XP recoginzed the new hardware. The pictures transfred over fine without insalling any additional software.

Are the 2 discs that came with the camera necessary to install?

Answer
i think u have to install the software comes with ur camera if u want to use the timelapse recording feature.
i believe the rebel xti has this feature in which u can programme ur camera after connecting it to the pc to shoot a several frames over a period of time or with a certain time intervals between frames.
u have to read the manual to understand this feature.
other than that i don't think u need to install anything else .....
good luck

Anyone know anything about the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera?

Anyone know anything about the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera? I've had a DSLR camera in the past that didn't give me the quality of photos that I was looking for and was told that this is a great camera. Can anyone who owns this camera tell me what it's like? Is it easy to use? And more importantly do you know of a website or store that sells them at a good price?

Answer
It is a good entry level DSLR.
I would not rule out the Nikon D40/D60 series of cameras either.

Camera equipment is generally not discounted much, so any place that has camera gear for more than $100-200 under MSRP is probably a rip-off.

I work with and trust the following:
www.bhphotovideo.com
www.beachcamera.com
www.adorama.com

If you find other places online, check out their rating at:

If they have anything less than an 8, I'd stay away from them. If they are not even listed, i'd stay away from them.
