I need a Camera with a Remote Control and

by parkerjones Sep 6, 2005 9:32AM PDT

I don't know anything about digital camera's. I wanted to know if any of you knew if there where any digital camera's out there that offered a remote to take the picture. Rather than set it up and put it on a timer.

ALso wanted to know if there where any digi cameras that you could hook up to your computer, and see the picture real time... before you take the shot.

I'm going to be using this to take some test modeling shots of my-self. And then sent out the pictures to various agencies.

So I need something where I can set the camera up on a stand, see my picture real time on a computer screen, and then snap the picture using the remote.

Are there any camera's out there that offer these features?

thanks

Remote Capture

Canon is more into remote capture than any of the other camera companies.

Here is a link to software that will work with Canon's lower priced cameras.

Remote Control Camera

My son has a Canon G6 and it has a remote control. Very cool! I don't know about connecting to a computer but I know you can connect it to a television and see the shot before you take it. One of my favorite things to do.
