Re: DPP4 now supports down to EOS 450D

There is a flip side to this, canon appear to have stopped supporting DPP 3 for any newer bodies and I have been trying to come to terms with using DPP4, but for my needs it's awful in two major areas

Yesterday I had to go through 1800 Cr2 raw files ( shooting sandmartins in flight Prefocused)

I find that there are 3 inadequacies with the QUICK CHECK function, firstly it's far slower to load images compared with DPP3 which is instant

Secondly you can't use a keyboard and mouse together, one to toggle between images and the other to remove/apply check marks on DPP 3 they work independently which speeds up selection massively

Thirdly the cursor to move to the next shot is too close to the cursor that takes you automatically to the last shot

Additionally CROPPING is a problem as there is no preset for either A size landscape or A size portrait, and that a real downer when you have a few hundred to do, canon still sell A size paper and A size printers though

Any chance they will update DPP 3 for the newer bodies
