Do I have to use the software/ I saw a complaint about the software and was wondering if I need to use it at all?

I just ordered this camera and plan to try using the photo software that came with my EOS Rebel XS. It's not bad, but actually the only thing I use it for is transferring images from the memory card to my computer's hard drive. I've gone this route ever since Vista destroyed another of my digicams' memory card, losing hundreds of images. I don't like Vista. So anyway, I still prefer using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for editing tasks.

Never used it so I can't answer. I know it's a $150-$170 software if you buy it individually. See if you can download the trial and give it a try.

My software came with the actual license. It's typically only the trial versions that have the limited licenses ;) Hope that helps???

I could not get this software to work at all stand alone or with anything else. I talked to the creators of the software and they told me many things but nothing worked for me. I wanted my money back but I could not get it back. I personally would not buy the software and if you do make sure you get a guarantee of refund if it does not work.

From my experience I would say no.....mine came with old software and even when it broke and I had to send it to Montreal to be fixed it came back with the old software....this was 6 weeks ago.

We haven't figured it all out either cause it says you have to purchase the instruction and software seperate. We probably going to have to buy the book. Isn't that a pain. Sorry couldn't be more help.

I used the software only for a few days and it locked up. I reinstalled and it worked for a few days and locked up. Someone said you can only install this software one time and then you need technical help from Corel. So no help with software.

Are you wanting to know something about this software? I have not used this software as it is too much for what I need. I would be willing to sell it

You will definitely need the software disc to download program to your computer or laptop in order to use the device... without the program the device is useless

you have both options. Mine came with a CD. Downloading online will give you the most up to date software.

I've only used it through the software. I've read that you can use it analog, has the connections, but I've had no need to use it in that manner.

I'm not sure... I've always used it so I can't say for sure whether or not it is necessary or not, sorry!

I got them together and dont remember having had to make an extra payment for the software, so i guess the short answer is no but in the other hand is not bad news because it comes included, meaning there is no extra charge. best.

No need for the software. When I was using it for a short time I never used it and was able to see my movies. I just dragged my files to my computer and it was good to go. Contour is out of business so dont expect driver updates and accessories to go with this.

As far as I remember you have to enter a code and then download the program. Edit: I see from my review I had problems with the file and ended up having to buy a DVD. I wasn't the only one though I don't know how prevalent the problem is now.

No software required. Your system was configured for this in the first place, so no.
