I own a EOS 5D and cannot find original cd with eso utility to download photos.

I tried to download the soft but cannot find one compatible with mi old model.

Does anybody know how I can download the soft compatible with the eos 5d original.

Thanks in advance

Go to the 1D X Mark III support page and download EOSU 3.13. It will install EOSU2 which is compatible with your 5D.

You don't need ANY software to get photos off the camera. Connecting camera to computer should mount the camera in Windows File Manager or on the desktop of a Mac. You just open the camera icon and you'll see the photo files.

Agree with Normadel. Frankly, it is just as easy to remove the card, plug it into a reader and that will recognize the card as a drive, it will be faster to download as well. Many computers have an SD card reader built-in, but you can get one for minimal investment

That is true for image download, but EOSU does a lot more, like remote control and upload of custom picture styles. OP didn’t state his purpose for wanting EOSU.

Sure he did. First sentence says it...."To download photos".

Thank you all for the info.
My Mac signas an error when I connect my D5.
Will try with the suggested soft and also will download with a card reader.
