Windows 8 and Rebel Xsi

[Vianna]

     The  new computer I bought comes with Windows 8 and I can't upload the photos from my Rebel XSi now. I installed the software that came with my Rebel (ver 17.1) but it must be outdated. Or is there a different reason?

If it's the outdated software, can someone please direct me to the new downlad link? Here's the link to the only information I found - which isnt much or helpful:

Thank you - and happy thanksgiving.

Hello Colleen,

The EOS Rebel XTi does not have a communication mode.  It should be able to make a direct connection to the latest operating systems.  Since you mention using the SD card, it would be worth noting that downloading direct from the SD card, either via a memory card reader or through your computer directly, would be the most direct method.

Well, that's interesting. With all the recent talk about how early Rebels have to be told to use the Picture Transfer Protocol (or whatever it's called), I've been wondering why I couldn't find it in my XTi manual.

Does the XT really use SD cards? The XTi does not.
