Canon Announces EDSDK 2.1 (2961-3040)

Canon Digital Camera Software Developers Kit Update Information

Effective September 25, 2007, general distribution of Canon EOS Digital Camera Software Development Kit (EDSDK) Version 2.1 for Windows 2000, XP and Vista and Canon EOS Digital Camera Software Development Kit (EDSDK) Version 2.1 for Mac OS X (10.3.9 and later for PowerPC, 10.4.7 and later for Intel Mac) has begun for registered developers residing in our sales area. This new SDK supports EOS Digital SLRs with DIGIC II or DIGIC III processors exclusively. The list of supported models includes: EOS 400D/Digital Rebel XTi, EOS 350D/Digital Rebel XT, EOS 30D, EOS 20D/20Da, EOS 5D, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark III. Support for the EOS 40D has been confirmed. However, Canon Inc. has recently informed us that EDSDK 2.0.1 also supports the EOS 40D, so it is not necessary to upgrade to EDSDK 2.1 if you are already running EDSDK 2.0.1 successfully with the EOS 40D. The only thing that is really “new” in 2.1 is the documentation.

EDSDK 2.1 is not compatible for applications that require connection via interface cable with early EOS Digital SLRs including the EOS D30, D60, 1D, 1Ds, 10D and 300D/Digital Rebel. Please continue to use RC-SDK 8.4 with those models. For more information, be sure to read the EDSDK API Programming Reference bundled with the EDSDK download.

Even though you are a registered developer, it is still necessary to submit a new SDK application in order to confirm your acceptance of the SDK License Agreement if you wish to download EDSDK 2.1. To submit a new SDK application, please visit our website at:

Thanks for developing software for Canon Digital Cameras!

Attention PowerShot Software Developers:

Neither PS-ReC SDK 1.1.0c nor CD-SDK 7.3 for PowerShot digital cameras is being updated at this time. Both of these versions will remain available to registered developers through our password-protected web site.

************************************************

In other SDK news:

• In December, we anticipate a new PowerShot SDK that will add support for the G9 and the SX100 IS.
• Presently, Canon Inc. is telling us that they do not plan to update the PowerShot SDKs to support Microsoft Windows Vista. If this stance changes, we will let you know. For now, only the Windows versions of EDSDK 2.x support Vista, and then only for compatible EOS Digital SLRs.
• Also in December, we anticipate a new EDSDK that will add support for the EOS-1Ds Mark III.

All registered developers will be notified by e-mail whenever new SDKs become available.
