Canon анонсировала, что они прекращают поддержку SDK для линейки PowerShot...
А это значит, что нет SDK => нет поддержки PowerShot в спец. софте => купите EOS
Что это, попытка простимулировать переход "почти профи" на зеркалку или просто дела у Canon так плохи, что нет бабосов содержать этот проект?
Canon PowerShot SDK News:Important Announcement:
As you may be aware, we released a new Software Development Kit earlier in the year, supporting the PowerShot G9 and PowerShot SX100 IS. This version did not support Windows Vista and unfortunately we have NO plan to launch an SDK for PowerShot digital cameras supporting this operating systems (the latest version 1.1.0d supports Windows XP and older OS only).
We are also very sorry to inform you that Canon will stop developing the PowerShot SDK and plan to phase it out this year. We appreciate that this may have an affect on your business, and we are sorry that we are no longer able to support this activity.
We would like to thank all developers who have supported PowerShot digital cameras within their application, and wish you every success in your future business.

A3. Unfortunately there is no plan. Due to changes in market requirements it is no longer possible for us to develop the PowerShot SDK and therefore we will only update the Windows XP version this year.Q6. Does this announcement affect the availability of the Digital EOS SDK?
A6. No, Canon will continue to provide the ED-SDK for all current Digital EOS cameras (including Windows Vista support) and has NO plan to stop this support in the near future.
