Long Story Short: Bought a Canon EOS 10D - no Digital Solutions disc v 6.1, no downloads available anywhere. Then bought a backup 10D - with disc - Hooray!
So to help all you discerning photographer-type folks with
10Ds and no Digital Solutions disk, here is
EOS Digital Solutions Disk ver. 6.1
for Canon EOS 10D and Canon EOS Digital Rebel (300D)
N.B. This driver won't work for Vista so best get a card reader. &
To get it, click
here.
(246MB .iso file, virus checked OK).
Burn the .iso file directly to a CD with Nero or similar.(It's not quite like burning normal data - instructions on how to do this properly can be found via a google search, 'burn iso file to cd'.
Contact me with any queries or suggestions.

10.10.09: "Hi Just wanted to say a big thanks for putting the software out there man, I purchased a 10D kit on Ebay and it had everything bar the manual and disc! Manuals can be found easily but the disc was another matter - until I found your site! Cheers again, all the best and Happy Shooting! Regards, MonkeyBiter.

09.04.10 "I managed to get a Canon 10d on ebay. It did not have a disc. I was dissapointed that my computer did not recognised it as a mass storage device. I did not have any success with Canon's own software download sites. I thought the only way to get picutres out of the camera was to use a card reader, until I saw your download. Thankyou so much for this. I hope to use the camera for astro photography, If I can get anything good I will send it to you. Many thanks again, Martin
25.07.10: "Hi, Just a quick message of thanks for having uploaded the disc for this camera. Just bought one off Ebay without the disc or anything else and I was pretty shocked to find that I couldn’t get the software anywhere and that the PC didn’t even treat it as a mass storage device.So, thanks for this,Kevin
