Are you sure about that? I found that difficult to believe since my Canon digicam (non-video) comes with software to upload to my computer so I have just looked at the site recommended above. Sure enough, the cameras there have "Bundled software" listed amongst their "in the box" features. The cameras may be a bit more pricey than the one your family have chosen anyway, but I just thought I would make you aware of it.	Susan B (19)

If the USB connected camera does not show up in Windows XP or ME as a removeable drive, then its either very old, or designed in a manner that leaves something to be desired. Its important as when away from home, you often get access to a PC, but not to load a lot of software on. Its fine to use the software that comes with it for simplicity, but you shouldn't have to for functionality.	godfather (25)
