Does the Canon EOS 400D work directly with Apple Aperture?

You should be able to import your photos directly from your 400D into Aperture using the USB transfer cable that came with your camera. You may have to configure your Mac to always import images into Aperture by default, if its not doing so currently.

When you attach the mini-usb to your camera and the USB cable to the computer and turn the camera on, the photos will begin to transfer immediately to your default application of choice.

Good Luck!

Unfortunately that isn’t the case. Most cameras mount the CF card as a flash memory card into OS X, but for some reason it isn’t read in that manner and access can only be made through the utility. I was wondering if there was a driver available to the camera that allows a native mount?

Thanks

I was under the impression that if you are running the latest version of Aperture (1.5.2) and Mac OS 10.4.11 or 10.5.x, it would import straight RAW photos from your 400D.

I will try updating the camera firmware. Thanks!

what format was your compact flash originally in? i.e. was it formatted on a vista box?
