Features of the Canon EOS DSLR for Micrography
The Canon EOS T2i and other EOS models with Live View capability have
certain features that make them particularly useful for micrographic
applications:
The EOS Utility software is included at no extra charge with each
EOS camera body.
The EOS Utility software provides USB2 live preview at up to
1275x846 pixels.
The live preview has a frame rate of at least 15 frames per second
(not sure how to measure this exactly, but empirically it's faster
than our 15fps dedicated USB cameras).
The white balance can be manually adjusted within the software by
means of a standard eyedropper tool, and custom white balance
settings can be saved.
The EOS Utility software can be "Linked" to other
imaging software to automatically open the captured image within the
Linked application (such as Photoshop or i-Solution).
The shutter can be triggered directly from EOS Utility software
and the image will be saved in a user designated folder.
In Live View mode, the image is captured prior to the shutter
closing and reopening which eliminates shutter vibration. This
is a unique feature described by noted micrographist Charles Krebs
on his website: http://krebsmicro.com/Canon_EFSC/index.html
