| 1135531 | 2010-09-08 08:26:00 | Hi there. Ive a Canon Powershot S3IS I want to be able to directly access the photos WITHOUT being forced to use Canons ZoomBrowser Software or Windows "Scanners and Cameras" : this wont allow cut & paste ie , I want direct file access to the SD CARD in the camera , so I can cut & paste directly were I want. My old Camera's allowed this (as does my MP3 player & batphone), Canon :NO Any suggestions ?? I tried a plugin for Total Commander, but that didnt work. We have a Canon point and shoot and I use various scanners and Nikon dSLRs and film SLRs .. The Canon point and shoot does not work in anyway whatsoever if you don't want to use the Canon software. You simply just cannot use Windows Explorer unless you pull the memory card out and use a USB or Firewire memory card reader or ones that are built into the PC or laptop (ATA). If the USB reader bothers you, you can consider buying a new camera that functions in the way you want. The advantage of readers is that there is less wear and tear on the camera. Also, if you the camera suddenly runs out of battery while you are downloading, the pictures on the card may corrupt. |

Both systems work for me, have you actually tried with explorer once the camera is connected? With my A510 I know that in Windows Explorer some cams incl mine, nothing shows up under My Computer. There is no removable drive. |

| 1135536 | 2010-09-08 23:09:00 | gaarrh I gave away my (unused) card readers a while back, guess I'll have to fork out $20 :rolleyes: This sort of thing bugs me, I would have bought the other brand if I had known. Not a huge issue, just something that bugs me a bit (I do know of someone who did sell his canon because of this) Was one of the reasons I sold the ipod, no direct file access. :badpc: :badpc: |

| 1135537 | 2010-09-09 03:21:00 | Canon have made the SD card only accessible through their software or the MS camera wizard . The camera wizard (or camera file browser) will let me copy & paste (NOT cut & paste), . Really. How evil and customer unfriendly of them. Sell it immediately.:angry Just get a card reader - easiest way around it. |

| 1135538 | 2010-09-09 09:50:00 | Here I am back again. A brief amount of Google suggested that accessing your camera card via explorer is more about tweaking the registry .thm entry than what model of camera. I have installed the Canon software so possibly that made the changes for me. So you could try installing but not using the Canon software ie try explorer after the install or follow up with someone intelligent on modifying your registry | Ofthesea (14129) | ||
