Canon Remote SDK Alternative?

Question

Is there any Solution from another vendor? (With another Camera?) Canon does not want to support the SDK anylonger.

The Solution shoul contain live preview, zooming and configurable Flash. A c# interface would be fine.

I know, the WIA interface but it isnt powerful enough.

Solution 1

Have you looked into gphoto2? This only runs under Unix-like systems (Linux, BSD, and probably MacOS), so it may not help under Windows.

Solution 2

Canon has stated that they will no longer support the powershot sdk. But the EOS SDK will continue to be supported. You will need to buy EOS Cameras, but there are some in the same price range as the Gx powershots.
