Windows 7 64bit and your camera

thedoc46 · 5 Nov 2009 at 03:21

Hi,

About to upgrade from Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64-bit and just want to know if anyone has had any problems with their camera's not being reconised in a 64bit OS

I have a Nikon D50 SLR and a Canon SD1000

Would hate to reformat and realize that i can't get either of my camera's to be reconised by windows.

Any advice on the above two cameras working in a 64bit enviroment appreciated.

Windows 7 64bit recognised my Canon 5D no problems.

I really should get a card reader though, it takes about 5 minutes to download 100 RAW files

Another vote for a card reader from me.

After I started using one because of the snail's pace download speed from my old 300D, my current cameras have never been plugged into the computer.

It recognised my 1Ds Mk3 and 5D Mk2 but not my 5D Mk1.

Makes syncing the times a pain, otherwise I wouldn't be bothered.

Really? My 5D is a Mk1 and it works fine.

That's weird, I always just get the "dun dun dun" or Windows not reconising the camera. I've installed the latest EOS Utility and tried both PC Connect and PTP on the Camera but still nothing. I'll take a closer look as I just thought it was incompatible.

I'm still on the 7077 beta build of Windows 7, I wonder if that has something to do with it.

My 350D isn't recognised in PC Connection mode, can't do time-lapse with it, or shoot-to-disk.

my 1000D works perfectly fine on 7 recognised straight away

I can confirm x64 Win7 Pro recognises both the 350D and the 40D without any issues

(though I haven't tried all that growse has above).

No problems whatsoever with Win 7 bit.

Installed the disc that came with my Canon 50D, programs installed flawlessly and camera worked perfectly the first time it connected.
