All modern operating systems have mature and stable drivers for it. But not all operating systems have stable, mature drivers for cameras. If you have a camera that your operating system has inbuilt drivers for, you can just plug that straight in. If not, then use the card reader. |

| 630416 | 2008-01-17 08:43:00 | A couple of questions. Did you read my first post? What version of OSx are you using? what camera are you using? Yes I missed your first post sorry, I'll try that tomorrow (preferences in iPhoto). I wouldn't have a clue which OSx we are using - i'm pretty sure its the latest, or the one before that. Canon EOS 400D is what I'm using. |

| 630417 | 2008-01-17 08:45:00 | It's not "pop[ping]up on the desktop when camera is plugged in - it doesn't so it's not being recognised. I don't know why?": Apple Macs work differently to PCs. True - but if the Card Reader can pop up on the desktop (in Mac OSx) once I've plugged it in, then surely the camera should be able to? I've read through people's posts and have read some good points about the advantages of using card readers over directly plugging the camera in. Just a few minutes ago I purchased a card reader off the internet... :) |
