Does it work with an XTI cannon?What software you use while taking picture and been transfer to ur computer?

[cameralabs]

No it only works with a 40D and 50D, and the software comes with those cameras. Check out my review at cameralabs . com.

Hi There, this is a very interesting device that might be useful for high level photography that I do. I have the camera mounted on top od a 23m pole and it is remotely controlled using a wireless link. Currently though, I don't have any opportunity to change my exposure whilst it is up there. I am not interested in wireless file transfer, Is there any way to turn the transfer off and just use it to remote control the camera, and use the live view. I need to take photos in rapid succession.

[cameralabs]

Yes you can just use it for remote control of the settings if you like, and just save the images to the card. Please check out my full review at cameralabs . com - I think you'll find it useful.

I shoot weddings in Hawaii and I just bought a 50D. I want to buy this product but on the beach there are no internet, wi-fi, or bluetooth connections for my MacPro. Can I shoot on the beach and dump the images to my MacPro without internet?

[cameralabs]

Good question - I believe you are in luck - you'd set it up for an 'ad hoc' connection instead of 'infrastruture', and it should talk direct to your laptop without an internet connection in sight. Nice application too. Let us know how you get on in the cameralabs forums...

@sirjesset you could always shoot to iPad with a mobile airport express or other wi-fi network host devices ~ for these sorta shoots I like to shoot RAW and send a small jpeg image to iPad for technical checks and also to show the client on the spot ~ looks much neater ~ on iPad, Shuttersnitch is a great app for this purpose
