Hi List
I'm sorry if this topic has been covered already but its a quick question.
I am fed up waiting for the Nikon support with Capture One.
I would like to know if a Canon camera connected to Capture One works ok and how quick the previews hit the screen after shooting.
At present using a Macbook Pro I get a preview about 3 seconds after shooting with my Phase One P22 back.
Is the Canon as quick or faster 2 - 3 seconds for a screen preview is fine?

Many thanks
Andy

  The Canon 1DS MKII is faster.
  The Canon 5D is also fast.
  Again it also depends on the length of your 1394 cable, the processor speed, hard drive speed, total RAM in the system.
  If you've max'D out the computer and have a 15Ft cable you should be in great shape.

  i shoot with a 5D into a mac pro/C1 pro
  
  you will get a 1-3 second delay shooting raw before the image fully comes up depending on your hardware config.
  
  unfortunately, dslr's are connected via usb, and not 1394.

  Seanarmenta,
  
  Your generalization that: "...unfortunately, DSRL's are connected via USB, and not 1394...."
  Is a good bit of misinformation.
  
  As you can see the MKII is 1394 & the 5D is USB 2.0

  Canon 5D:

  Since I only shoot with the MKII tethered I made the mistake that I had used the 5D that way as well.
  Fact is the 5D is my grab camera and these images are shot to card.
