Vista compatibility with PreView

Post by markw »

John - noticed that Dell have a very good offer on PCs at the moment - Within options you could change the OS from Vista to XP pro - but then couldn't configure the better graphics card as part of the system because it wouldn't work with XP. At £145 its a very tempting offer - but no point if I cant run PreView on Vista.

Pre-View will run on Vista, it's just that you are unable to operate the camera from within the program and you have to use the Canon Zoombrowser Camera Capture utility to take the pictures.

To date, Canon have not produced the SDK (Software Development Kit) necessary to control their cameras under Vista. It looks like it's not going to happen, hence the recommendation to use XP.
