Canon BDCP2 Plugin
Version History

BeOS:
 
Version 0.8 BeOS

First version

Install by putting the plugin into home/config/lib/BDCP_Plugins. Then, in Exposure!, select [Configuration], [Program Settings] from the menu. The Camera dropdown should contain all sorts of Canon cameras. Select any of them, close the dialog and try to connect to the camera.


Since I no longer have any working version of R5 and the downloadable binaries have disappeared along with BeZip, I've checked my backups and finally found the old sources. Be aware though that the Zeta versions, both for PTP and Canon proprietary protocol are significantly more advanced and stable.

PTP BDCP2 Plugin:
  This version will connect via PTP and is not really limited to Canon digicams. I have put it as a variation rather than a new piece of SW since it's only tested on a single model from Canon and supports some of the Canon extensions to PTP.
For owners of other brands, it will provide somewhat higher transfer speeds compared to the existing PTP plugin. Also writes attributes (height/width/flash) to downloaded pictures and allows to take shots from the PC.
The latter is part of the BDCP standard but only used by Exposure!, so no luck with PhotoGrabber. For some Canon cameras, you'll even get an onscreen display of the viewfinder.

Feedback welcome - especially from owners of other cameras than my Canon Pro 1.

Zeta:
  Update of the Canon BDCP Plugin compiled on Zeta

Limited to Zeta not out of bad will but simply because it uses libusb.so instead of statically linking in the UsbKit.

Definitely more stable and able also to issue "take picture" requests to the camera. Tested on a G2, will require feedback for other models. Do not use on any Canon that allows PTP.

Installer will put file in the right place, you'll just need to configure Exposure or any other BDCP program to use the "Canon USB" plugin.

Please provide feedabck on the degree of support for other models. And have fun.
