I do have a Canon 50D with EOS utilities installed on my computer. however, when I try to connect the canon 5d there is no recognition. I am running Windows 7 home premium, 64 bit op. system. An error message came up saying no driver found, software not successfully installed. I have no software apart from the software for my 50D - any help would be SO appreciated... JayJay

I stopped using EOS utility for downloading files cause it was crashing in the middle of downloads. That was with Vista but it seems to work fine in Windows 7. Walt

As I understand it the 5D (Classic) needs a WIA driver which can be downloaded from Canon's website for Windows versions prior to Windows 7 (likewise EOS Utility), so I'm guessing Canon are no longer supporting the 5D Classic as fas as Windows version are concerned. However, if WaltA is successfully using his 5D with Windows 7 it might be worth downloading the WIA driver for an earlier version of Windows (XP, Vista?) and seeing what happens. Nothing ventured, nothing gained......... Steve.

Yeah, I agree. I've always done clean installs - never upgraded the OS so I don't think there is any old WIA drivers on my system. Walt

It'll show up as a drive that way and will transfer files just fine.
