William,
I have a card reader, but with my dRebel, if I take a picture with the camera vertical instead of horizontal, it loads them in sideways, where if I load them in directly from the camera, the orientation is preserved.

I contacted Canon Support by email and they replied that they will not have drivers and software for Windows Vista until the final release of Vista. However, I got around the situation by purchasing a USB flash memory card reader. I not have to install any drivers or software to use it and it imports the pictures perfectly.
If I can get what I want done and not install anything to do it, then that is just fine by me.

CrAy-Z,
This camera is plug and play in XP, using the WIA driver that comes with the
camera. Apparently, Vista doesn't have the Scanner and Camera wizard (yet?)
so the only program that can be launched when the camera is connected is
Microsoft Document Imaging which doesn't support the camera.
If you get your 20D working, let us know.
Thanks,
TowerDave
