GetCanon! is a image downloader for Canon digital cameras. It's small, quick and simple. It can download images, rotate them automatically and delete them from camera. If you hate the "designer" interface of Canon utilities and hate Windows messing with image filenames, this is the right tool for you.
GetCanon! is freeware. It includes open-source program JpegTran from Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software.
The program has been downloaded more than 10000 times from my own server only and is hosted on many sites around the web. This is what user of GetCanon! think about it:
- This application is exactly what I've been looking for.
- I found GetCanon! as a very useful tool for my PowerShot camera.
- Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for: something that just works! Thanks!!!
- Wow -- this is a great utility!
- I like your hassle free program a lot. It's much better than the annoying canon software included with my camera.
- Thanks very much for writing GetCanon and thanks, too, for making it freely available. I love elegant, snappy & simple programs ... just like GetCanon.
- GetCanon is the _only_ software, including Canon's CameraWindow, that is able to transfer a ~900MB AVI File from my Cam, at all. I don't know why, all the others crashed, freezed, or produced a NULL Byte file after working for ages.
