Brian, thanks for the offer, but no need - I have USB-serial adapter that works with DSLR_Shutter on Lenovo lap (w7 home premium) without problems.
However, I would like to drive two cameras from one lap, both via USB (so that I can have a full control of both of them).
Here (in Beijing, where I am at the moment) I have only 60D.. so I can't experiment too much.
It is possible to use DSLR_Shutter (or separate timer) with 60d (and possibly other models) provided camera is placed into exposure bracketing and burst mode. Then, if timer exposure time (actually, this is the time activation signal is active) is set to couple of seconds, the camera will take 3 exposures, with programmed exposure +- bracket.
To cover the full required range of exposures, the camera shutter must be operated manually,which is not good, but if necessary, it is possible.
