I have bought a modded 20D...modded in more ways than one. 2 bent and one broken pin in card receiver slot.
Could anyone tell me if I can shoot photos direct to a laptop without a card in-situ?
Many thanks

Yes you can Peter through the USB and I was actually going to suggest it to you in the other thread but you beat me to it.

I use a program called Images Plus Camera Control which will allow RAW images to be directly d/l to your HD.

Thanks Andrew. It would appear that I damaged the pins. I intended no critisism of the previous owner.
Could you let me know which cables I need and where I might obtain the program?
Many thanks

Nebulosity is another software option to look at, it will also download the images direct to PC. Its cheaper than ImagesPlus but does not have near as many processing features.
About half way down this page is a table listing of various software and capabilities.
