Viewing Images on Laptop direct from 30d

[snapstacks]

How do I view images directly from 30D to laptop without downloading during a shoot? I'm shooting RAW.

I saw a tutorial about using a portable DVD player, but most folks that commented said they use their laptop. I tried it, but it won't work using a USB cord. Or, do I need special software and/or a different connection?

Thanks!

Teresa,

You can do it with a USB cord, but you need to use a special program on your computer. Look for a program called EOS Capture on the Canon Utilities disk that came with your camera. You can control the camera as well as upload pics immediately to your computer.
