|  Grrrrrrr Digital camera annoyance Right - this is how I use MY camera (Fuji 2800Z) No software. All that 3rd rate memory hogging supposedly-easy-to-use junk that comes on CD .... stays in the sealed bag. I plug the camera into my PC *Bing* My Computer / Removeable Storage Device / All photos displayed as thumbnails, simply select the one I want and open with photoshop if required. Lovely  SO WHY when I plug a Canon A70 into my Sisters laptop can I not view it in My Computer !?! Nothing - Nada. The only bloody way I can view the picture on the camera is to go into the lousy slow-loading photo software thats packaged in the box. Why the hell doesn't it appear as a removeable storage device in my computer !?! Aaaaaarggghhh |

| My wee matchbox camera has the same problem... however.. if I just install the driver for the camera, I can use it as an import device through photoshop. A little fiddly, but at least I don't have to use the crappy Ulead rubbish to get me photos. (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(") This is bunny. Copy him into your signature to help him dominate the world. |

| The first digital camera I got, a Canon one, appeared instantly as a removable disk when I hooked it up and I could happily drag & drop files to and fro. The Minolta one I got later insisted that it needed a driver installing for Windows to be able to talk to the device, and whenever it is NOT connected and I start up Windows, I get errors in my event log about a missing device. This annoyed me, so I got a 7-in-1 card reader for about $25 and now I can just take the memory cards out of either camera and read them directly - much easier Plus I don't get the silly cable mixed up, they look very similar but are completely incompatible. ~ I have CDO.
