This is a minor release that I made since users asked for it. Please read the note below before asking about why new cameras aren’t supported and why it doesn’t work on Windows Vista!
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 30,000 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.

PLEASE NOTE:
Canon stopped development of their DLL library GetCanon! uses. That’s why there is no support for newer cameras Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it. You might try your luck with Windows Live Photo Gallery image downloader. It’s great, way better that GetCanon! I use it all the time.
It also doesn’t work on Windows Vista for the same reason. Some users reported that turning Windows XP compatibility on .exe file works.
Note: The EOS class of digital cameras is not supported. You can use the version GetCanon 1.02 with EOS class cameras.
Supported languages:
- English
- Slovenian
