I've downloaded the Epson drivers, the software is exactly the same as on my old XP desktop. Thanks all for your replies and help.

The nearest spec currant model to mine is over £400., for the amount of scanning I do now I couldn't justify that amount. I I will try Win 7 driver. What about the compatibility issue with 8.1 system.

I own the Epson Perfection 4990 Photo Scanner. Its always worked fine with my older Win XP Desktop and it works ok with my Samsung laptop Win 7 Home premium I now have a Dell XPS desktop Windows 8.1. I can't seem to find the drivers for the 8.1 system. Anyone have any ideas why or is there any...

Thanks for confirming that. I bought the Canon grip new with the EOS30D. I'm looking to maybe upgrade to a EOS50D body so I can use the grip with that model. I've always used Canon vertical grips, even with my Canon EOS 5 film camera but if the cheaper grips work just as well why not. Thanks...

I own a Canon EOS 30D and I use the Canon battery grip BG-E2. I've been looking at a few EOS50d on E-Bay some with battery grips. I noticed the grips were BG-E2N. What difference does that N make and is my BG-E2 grip compatible with the later EOS 50D model.

I'm not sure whats the right section for this question. Bought the Epson Perfection 4990 photo scanner 7 years ago. I've had excellent results with film and prints. This model is even used by professional photo restorers. I went to use it today and its playing up, I haven't used it for some...

Thanks for providing me with with these options. I've never used Lightroom, might consider it, even PE. I believe the current version of Photoshop CS is the last.Is it going to be some subscription thing or something.

I use Photoshop CS3 for editing. I like to work with bridge before opening in photoshop using camera raw even with jpeg files. my camera is Canon 30D. just bought the G15 compact but can't open its raw files. What should I do.

I bought a G15 a week ago. I have used SLR's for over 20 years. So far I like this camera, its just getting used to handling. This could never replace my SLR gear but its a quality little camera. But there is one issue I have thats troubling me. It seems to have a problem with highlight...

Hi Nod, thats the problem. I've just borrowed a older SD card took a few shots on the G15 and the SD card slot on my 8 year old computer recognized it no problem. The same with the 6 year old card reader no problem. Perhaps I should have said SDHC card from the beginning, apologies for that...

I have connected the camera directly to PC/ laptop via usb and was able to upload the images with the Canon software and then copying them to My Pictures. I use PhotoShop CS3 for editing so I'm not really interested in this Canon software. I'd still love to be able to just use the SD card like...

It was a two SD card pack I bought with the camera. I shot a couple of frames on the unused card and then formatted it in the camera but no luck with that. My desktop PC has built in card slots and no problem with my CF card.

Just bought a Canon G15 compact. I've got a problem with the SD card. On my desktop PC(Windows XP) card reader I get a message; You need to format the disk before it can be used. When I try it on my Samsung laptop(Windows 7) exactly the same message. When I tried the card yesterday on a...

Thanks, I'll see how I get on with that suggestion.

After 6 years of light amateur use a problem. Camera 30D; I get an Error 99 when I shoot using the EFS17-85 lens at 17 to 24 focal lengths in all shooting modes. No problem at 35 FC upwards. No problem with 70-300 IS lens. It works ok on my 24-85 EF lens at the 24 focal length. It works when...
