sup all... first post
I was wondering if there was away to connect a camera to a laptop, and use the laptop as a Ă¢€˜control panelĂ¢€™ instead of the actual buttons/lcd screen on the camera itself.
e.g.- (simple)
snap a photo and have it appear instantly on the laptop, and use the laptop to save the photo or delete it.
e.g.- (complex)
control: shutter speed, zoom, scene, and so on...
Am I wondering in the future, or is this available now?

| The majority of newer Canon cameras come with it bundled. |

its been available for several years, at least for the canon cameras.
There are a variety of sources, and canon will send you a software dev kit to write your own too, if you ask them. I had one for the powershot G2 a while back and it was cool writing scripts to take pictures...

Sony have a fairly well deserved reputation for not 'playing well with others' (memory stick et al) I had a quickly look and couldn't find any mention of remote capture software or tethered control of the camera. I'd be really surprised if sony had made a publically available SDK.

you may want to check out the Sony Talk forum at Dpreview.com
Sony Talk
try searching the forms as I remember this was discussed over there alot, but not sure if something was ever made to work with the Sony 7x7 and a PC for camera control

| My Minolta DiMAGE A1 can be operated from a computer but I haven't purchased the optional software to do it so I can't say how well it works. Seems like a great idea for studio photography. |
