I received a nice color PDA (Pocket PC) for Christmas and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of connecting them to a digital camera (via usb) specifically to make use of the larger viewscreen on the PDA to frame photos before (and after) taking the shot?
I mean, am I nuts or what?
It seems like I saw some software that would do something like this once, but I don't recall where, or for what types of PDAs and cameras it was compatible.
I just want a larger viewscreen, not remote control software. |

I was thinking about doing this a few days ago, but specifically to write some remote control software for my PDA, to use bulb mode/ remote timer and the like.
Would be interested if anyone has already done it though.

Have you looked at BreezeSystem's "G2 Remote"? It does at least what you want to do. I don't think you have to use all the functions.

If not, send him a note, as he is very good at responding and helping.
Good luck,
Jim

Your PDA probably does not work as a USB host controller, only a client. My understanding of USB is somewhat limited right now, but I believe that USB devices like the camera and PDA can only communicate with a host controller, on the PC. This would rule having the PDA communicate with the camera.
As for viewing the photos after you take them, if your PDA can read the same memory cards, you can just get a viewer program. For instance, I have Acid Image on my Sony Clie to view photos on the larger color screen right off the memory stick. |
