Im not sure if I am using the correct terminology but just to tell you what I need help with I will do my best:
I have a Canon Rebel XTI, and I would like to be able to synch it with my pc so that when taking a photo, it automatically comes up on the computer screen....I know this is possible, but I was wondering if anyone knew what I needed in order to do this?
All advice is appreciated.
Thanks,

check out the software included with the camera, i am pretty sure one of those does it.

Yeah, usually the software that came with the camera will have a way to do that. You just have to use the cord to plug your camera into the pc and run the program. If you're using LR you can use it to bring up the photos by setting your auto import configuration to watch the folder you are taking the pictures to.

If you are looking to control the camera via the pc, take the picture, then have it transferred directly to the computer, it's called remote capture. it is part of the software package that came with your camera. depending on version of software, and operating system (PC vs mac), it might look a little different. I'd also recommend downloading the latest versions that are available for your camera from the Canon site.

Sometimes referred to as "shooting tethered". Of course some of the higher end Canons and Nikons have a wifi grip that would cut the cables so you can shot untethered. |

Tethered shooting.
On your CD that came with your camera is EOZ Utility. Install it on the PC, the cord you need came with the camera.
I find it best to run the software then plug in the camera. The camera should be ON when you plug it in, and the CF card empty (or else it will try to download all the files on teh card)
There are 4 options on the main screen of the EOS utility. try them all, but you want the third one, Remote Capture.
Another window will open that allows you to fire the shutter, make soem setting changes, etc. The images WILL NOT be auto-rotated, which sucks.
I borrowed the images from //www.jibble.org/canon-tethered-shooting/ - there is a whole page on how to do it there.

| Along this thread.... I've tried what it says at the linky provided but that doesn't seem to work with Windows Vista. Is anyone currently shooting tethered with a 20d and Vista? If so... what's the secret? |
