All Canons I have ever checked... they have their reasons I guess. a main reason would of course be security or maybe just a need to keep their communication mode obscure and "control" it with their software. However hooking up a camera to transfer the images is a problem too. you need special driver at times, you have to trust a cable that is pretty expensive if ruined (and the tiny connector does), and in most cases not only you are limited to USB1.1 speeds, it still copies at half the speed of a card reader. if you have a USB2 card reader (and they are available under 100 shekel), you have a standard MSD and a much faster one as well. that's what I always use. I never hook up the camera directly. > > [[PTP]] > Maybe printers dig it too, but Windows ME and XP surely do: > http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/stillimage/stillimg-connect.mspx#EFAA Well, as I said above I never hook up the camera directly, I didn't know about it since I never tried it... -- A terrible thing to waste Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
