Thanks, Baldy.

128897 2003-03-18 08:56:00 Supposedly any camera that has ATA compatible drivers will allow that. It depends whether you installed true USB drivers or if the supplied software does the whole communication thing. I have seen cocked-up installations where the software takes over and it never acts like a drive. You could try removing the software and trying to install the USB driver only. No idea how on this model, though.

I saw one in Dick Smiths that was like $200 or $300 that was 2megapixel. Seemed like an interesting option. Wouldn't have all the photo-geek control features or the big zoom (digital zoom only, so no zoom if you ask me).
Great way to get started though, not everyone wants to be a photography nazi.

128898 2003-03-18 20:10:00 Okay, the dead pixel test is a cool waste of time. I can't help but test every camera I have (eight at the mo).

>I've got a $99.95 digital camera that came highly recommended by the layby lady at the Wharehouse.

Choice!
Would that $99 nasty be able to take pics of live bands and stuff that are of good enough quality to use on the WWW?

*Wonders if it is a Linux friendly jobby, or would i need to use 'doze?*

128900 2003-03-18 21:18:00 Here's a question to annoy Robo!

Linux and digicams.
How compatible?
Do they come with any Linux style software?
Can a Linux box pull the pix out of your avourage digicam?
How?
Do the people who sell these cams even know what Linux is?

It's all driver oriented. Does Linux have USB ATA drivers?
