I have a canon 30D and I have a Dell laptop. Is there a way for me to shoot the photo, and have it show up on the computer so I can do a quick edit, crop etc and then print it right there? Any insight is appreciated. I know I can remove the CF card and put it in the reader but that is just one step that I want to skip.

I couldn't care less about doing that, so the name of the specific software package eludes me at the moment. Skip Douglas

I do it quite a bit but with a Mac but specific PC instructions are in your manual and there are a lot of threads here if you search using "tethered". The program, is EOS utilities which comes with the camera. Capture One is a third party software with good reviews but it is purchased separately. Welcome to the forums.

I had updated my system software and didn't update the EOS Utilities software. When I attempted to hook up the camera to the laptop EOS Utilities was crashing. After a number of force quits to the Canon software and no small amount of cursing I went to the Canon support site and downloaded and installed the latest update. I had no more problems after that.
