Just bought a new camera and the drivers will not work with X64. I've looked on Canon UK and they only have Vista and XP 32bit.

Anyone have a link or work around

Cheers Eric

nah just tried, it shows the camera now in 'My computer' but when selected freezes the PC until something happens and when it does the folder is blank.

Seems the solution is a card reader?

Reading the forums Canon's x64 support doesn't look good maybe future models will be supported but the 300D was released around Aug 2003 maybe post on some good DSLR forums? Someone may have a work around?

cheers anyways. :)

go into the setup menu on the camera and change the communication setting from ptp to normal and it should work fine as you only a need drivers for ptp, selecting normal will make it appear as a mass storage drive

A card reader is a much more sensible solution - saves your battery, too (and they're only about a fiver to buy).

Hell, my monitor has one built in! I just wish I wasn't lumbered with CF cards for my EOS 5D...

Although it's recommended in the case of CF cards not to remove them too often for fear of damaging the pins.
