PalmDSLR is a freeware to control your camera (Canon DSLR) with your PDA. It has been designed for the management of Astronomy Photo but it can be used in any other situation where a timer is required to take a set of photos. At last PalmDSLR allows you to record all the characteristics of your photos to be able later to reuse your works.

PalmDSLR has been designed to answer to the concerns of end-users:

Portability: to forget heavy hardware (PC or laptop, batteries) and rediscover the pleasure of mobility,

Compatibility: to save money by reusing your old PDA (at least PalmOS 3.5) to create a cheap and more complete solution than usual Canon cables,

Efficacity:one screen to centralize everything, no complex configuration required.

Because this program is Free, PalmDSLR should be mandatory to any owner of Canon and PDA! Build your own cable or buy one in a shop: In both case you will create a versatile solution that will fit to your needs in many situations.

Thanks to:
