If I'm not mistaken, you can monitor the camera's image directory with managed code. Just index all the file names in there, and when the directory changes, check for the newest file and display it automatically. Doesn't seem like too complex an app.

My Canon camera came with software to do remote shooting.

Ya, I told my brother (who owns the camera) about this and he said that he got software like that on the CD that came with the camera.

It looks like you can kind of do something like this using Cam2Com http://www.sabsik.com/Cam2Com/
OR
InPhoto

This also might work

They let you take a picture from software instead of using the buttons on the camera and the photos are displayed instantly on the computer.

I'm curious if I can do this witn a Canon camera too. It seems interesting.

Or just pop out the SD card and stick it into your computer. My TabletPC has an SD card slot. Do newer laptops have the same?

Plug in the camera and open it up in Windows Explorer?
