canon console
can anyone direct me to where i can obtain the Canon Console application? I realize that there are probably applications that can do the things that this application was designed for, but I am curious and want to check it out.
thanks |

Re: canon console
Have you tried Canon? You can ateast d/l the manuals, and I've seen some reviews on line, even at Videomaker.

Re: canon console
I remember it sold for $600 and I believe Canon stopped selling and supporting it sometime between 2010 and 2012, not 100% sure, but that's best I can recall. It may not work with the newer laptop operating systems and also the cameras themselves.

Re: canon console
Keep an eye on the auction sites too. A copy might turn up.
I suspect it was not very popular, thus it had a short market life and likely a small installed base.

Re: canon console
I checked a few of my older laptops to see if I still had the trial version I downloaded a long time ago. No joy. I thought the price was a little too high. In 2008 I bought the XL-H1A rather than the XL-H1S, due to it being $3,000 more. I think the Console was aimed at the pros who had gone all in with the higher end model. And I agree is must have not sold many copies and was rarely mentioned in the forum.

Re: canon console
Thanks for taking the time to check your old laptops. Maybe someone will eventually have a copy they are willing to share. Artifacts like this need to be preserved 😀

Re: canon console
Sorry, I'm just now seeing this.
I might have it, actually. But I haven't fired up that particular laptop in years. It's not even in the house... it's in a 40-ft. Conex box back behind our barn. Hmm. I'm pretty sure the program is on there, but I don't know about the installation files, that is, I don't know how I'd get the application to you. Now I'm wondering if I have it on CD. That's a possibility. |

Re: canon console
Not sure if this is the document you already have, but in case it isn't, or if anyone else is interested, I've attached it below. It's an overview of Console.

Re: canon console
Sucess! See attached pics.
Laptop took a massage to boot up and I can't believe it still runs. Haven't seen Win XP in quite awhile. Anyway I have the .self-extracting exe, it's an 11 MB file. Shoot me a private email so we can discuss the weather, whatever sports you like, and other things. chris at dvinfo dot net |

Re: canon console
I recall learning about it and thought it would be a great item to have with the XHA1, until I read the price and estimated how often I would use it.

I guess it died due to cost and lack of interest. Now the camcorders have the wireless/web interfaces that may provide much of the essential functionality.

Re: canon console
Hi Kurt, we don't have a private messaging system on DVi, it's gotta be email, sorry.
chris at dvinfo dot net Also what I have is Console 1.0, not sure what it's missing from Console 1.1 but it's better than nothing I guess! |
