some star stuff

basically remote shooting - albeit from 2 feet away, but it also allows for interval and timelapse stuff, as well as bulb shooting - like a timer for bulb, so thats pretty cool. I dont give two shits about zoombrowser or any of the other programs on the disc, but the eos utility is pretty cool.

What camera?

it was a 5dmkII, but the eos utility will work with any canon dslr i think.

Anything you can do on the Utility you can do on the DSLR camera body (maybe p&s's too?). It's just nice to be able to control it remotely though. My body doesn't detect a remote any more so I have to use the timer which is a major PITA waiting 10 seconds between shots. If my laptop battery lasted more than 15 minutes (2 1/2 years old) i'd use it on site with the utility lol!

FU for having a 5Dmkii.

the body doesn't control settings for time lapse stuff. also, the shutter is only good for 30" unless you have a remote. And even when you do have a remote, you still have to time it with s stopwatch or someting else. but with the utility you can time it in bulb to whatever you want and when the timer is up it will close the shutter.
