Title: netbook and EOS Utility Post by: jodaco on March 17, 2011, 10:26:27 AM Bob,
I read your netbook review with interest. Have you tried to control the camera with EOS Utility? Do you see any issues with that even with your screen resolution fix? Thanks. -Josh Title: Re: netbook and EOS Utility Post by: Bob Atkins on March 17, 2011, 03:01:02 PM I haven't tried it yet, but when I get a chance I'll do so and report back. I never ever use the EOS utility but I know some people do so I'll check it out.
Title: Re: netbook and EOS Utility Post by: Bob Atkins on March 17, 2011, 07:23:33 PM I tried controlling an EOS 5D from the netbook and it worked just fine. It ran OK in the native 1024x600 screen resolution mode.
I initially had a problem because the 5D and Windows 7 don't play well together. Some sort of driver issues. However I downloaded the WIA driver for the 5D for Windows XP because apparently it also works fine with Windows 7 (32-bit). After that all went well. As I understand it there are still some 5D issues with Windows 7 (64-bit), but that's a separate issue Title: Re: netbook and EOS Utility Post by: jodaco on March 18, 2011, 10:42:46 AM Thanks for the info Bob. Perhaps a net book is in my future. There are some models that offer 1366 x 768 native resolution although I guess that makes for a small screen image on a 10.1 inch screen.
