Automatic Camera Identifier and Downloader

When using digital camera enhancement packages that are deployed as firmware updates, users often times end up losing a lot of time searching for the matching software for their camera model. Automatic Camera Identifier and Downloader is an application that was created in order to automatically identify the required SDM or CHDK packages for Canon users and offer an easy download procedure.

The application packs an uncluttered design that will enable users to easily access all of its basic features with ease. Providing both classical folder tree browsing or drag-and-drop features, the utility works by reading the camera information from a photograph taken with it.

All that users need to do in order to initialize the application’s detection feature is to input their image and it will automatically determine the appropriate SDM or CHDK builds. Users can then select for the  utility to download either SDM common files or CHDK stable / trunk full build, selectively.

Users will be able to easily identify the enhancement package required for their camera model and therefore they will be able to avoid losing time with manual searches. Nevertheless, they must take into consideration that the application will only identify and download the corresponding SDM or CHDK packages.

In order to automatically install the required builds, users are advised to use either the ASSIST or STICK software packages, from the same developer. Nonetheless, in spite the fact that the application only obtains the necessary packages, its features are still very useful, especially for those who prefer to avoid spending time searching for the packages manually.

Considering its ease-of-use, this utility could be a great choice for those who prefer to avoid the hassle of manually searching for the SDM or CHDK packages required for their Canon camera model. It will determine the adequate firmware revision by using images captured with the camera for which the packages are required and it will automatically provide easy download for the corresponding builds.
