Can you use a USB 2.0 Card reader to transfer digital photos to a video Ipod 30 gig? If so what would be the transfer speed?

I have two digital cameras that use a total of three different cards so I usually use my card reader that can read 8 different card types. It is simple and convenient and doesn't use up my batteries so that is the way to go

Over the past nine years I have been using Digicams I have found that the irewire is the best method, with the batteries holding much more charge than before I download over 600 photos at 8mp size in not much time at all. There is less chance of damaging the flash card by put it in and out all the time.

I use a Epson CX4600 scanner/printer with built in card reader. This allows me to print a contact sheet of all images on my card.

Oh, it takes months even years to get mine done.I'm past that age where everyone had a computer in school,but my kids were raised on them in the classrooms. I had to have a digital camera, why I had a computer! No more of my trusty 35 mm camera that I just loved, and took about a million pictures where ever we were. And doubles..I ALWAYS had doubles made so I could give out some to the unfortunates at a wedding or party, that hadn't brought their camera. I got the digital. I read, and read that manual until I was blue in the face. I am electronicly challanged you see. So, I wait and wait until one day when my son has about five minutes free to get them out of that little card, and onto a disk. Needless to say, I'll be going back to a 35mm, then when the film is used up, I'll drop it off at the nearest drugstore, ask for one set of prints now, and ask them to yes please, put them on a disk also, so I can try and share my photos. You young ones..consider yourselves so lucky to grow up on all of this. Laugh at us now, who knows what new thing it will be when you grow older, and have to learn over. dpokorny@comcast.net

by TrackStar1682 - 10/25/05 9:55 PM In reply to: Very slowly by dpokornyI'm 23 and 5-6 years ago I was intrigued and amazed by the whole concept of digital cameras. Take a picture, plug the camera in, or pop a diskette in the slot and see your pictures. If you like, print them, or keep them there to look at. If not, trash em. Then I actually got a digital camera in 2001, and my first reaction to the on-screen image was something like, "What the heck? This image SUCKS!" Once in a great while, I'd get something I decided was fit to print *small.*
Now, though, I shoot 99% film and I love it. I guess you would say the way I download my photos would be through my scanner! I did eventaully get a better digital camera, but I'm just too addicted to real live continuous tone prints.
I guess I am lucky to have grown up in the world of computers. After all, I still need to scan and edit things and work with the occasional 100% digital image. However, I've got enough old school/die hard perfectionist in me to be able to say that film always rocks harder.
Digital Cameras

Digital Cameras are the greatest. Wife and I went to Alaska a few years back and I purchased my first Digital just for that trip. Took 938 shots and had trouble culling them out. Had to have over 800 printed. I got into Computers when the first came out in the 70's and learned to build them better than I can use them. I have built all my own. When I was in the Acctg business I had 16 connected to a network and kept them all running. Kinda retired now and enjoy my travels and the Digicamrea

Downloading Pictures
by harmonsinc - 10/26/05 4:50 AM In reply to: Very slowly by dpokornyDon't rely on your son to put your pictures on a disk. Go to Walmart and let the photo people show you how to take your little card out of your camera and put it into their machine. Then all you do is choose the pictures you want printed, have a disk made.....there are several options. Go back to the 35mm and you will be downgrading. The quality of the pictures are great but do you really know what you have taken until you develop it? Sometimes it's better to limp and learn than sit by and let everything new pass you by.

I had my first darkroom when I was 5 and became acquainted with film early.
I still think film makes a better photo--But I LOVE the ease of digital sharing. Through the years I have either given negatives to people to have prints made--never to see negative again, or shelled out money to have photos made--never to see the person who requested them.
Play with the camera--batteries are cheap--there is no film to waste--no processing charge--just experiment--you will learn.

I mostly use my Sony Ericsson S710a, since its always with me, and then Bluetooth to move them from the camera phone to the computer. 1280x960 is fine for most snaps.
