Transferring Digital Photos - Simple
by lyrical56 - 10/26/05 9:21 AM In reply to: How do you transfer your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I have a Sony Mavica CD350 - and I gotta tell you I just take the mini-cd out of the camera and put it in my computer. Simple, nothing extra to buy, do or worry with. Then I already have the photos on permanent file, no need for back up, another step saved.
I have a minimum of THREE hours battery life, never have run out; can take hundreds of great pics at one time. And NO I don't work for Sony, just absolutely love this camera. Will be forever greatful that I had it recommended to me. Only minor thing is some shutter lag as everyone else mentions for all other cameras. I can even buy all the lenses for macro, telephoto etc. at good prices on ebay, so not much more I would ask for since I'm not a pro.

I Use My USB 2.0 With My Nikon, And USB 1.1 With My Sony. I open Windows Explorer, and read the camera's as an external drive. This allows the user to transfer only the photos that you wish to store, and just discard the ones you don't wish to keep.

How do you transfer your digital photos? Compact Flash
by jpedicord - 10/26/05 11:40 AM In reply to: How do you transfer your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
I have a HP Photosmart 715 that uses a Compact Flash memory card. I just pop it out and into the slot in my Sony Vaio PC and it acts just like a drive in Win XP Explorer. I browse and delete then transfer what I want to keep to my hard drive. To hook to a laptop though, I use the USB cable and software that came with the camera.
HOWEVER, the viewer screen on my camera recently cratered, so I am in the market for a replacement that will use the same CF cards I already have, but be smaller and lighter than the HP. 3 megapixel is adequate for me, but I want a good zoom capability. My Sony Camcorder takes snapshots, but the quality is not good enough at 1 megapixel, and the snapshot color is not quite true, so that's not an acceptable alternative.
Any suggestions?

I use a USB card reader; tried going directly from the camera, but battery drain was excessive.

I transfer my photos to my computer with the built in media card slots(in my HP media center 830),I have found it to be a lot faster than hooking up the USB cable to the camera and computer. And with the intel Pentium D it is super fast.

I use several of the methods shown depending on where I am, what camera is in use, and how many pictures I need to move. this "Poll" only allows one choice as if that was the 100 percent only way.
Poor design. I see this a lot in the wording of questions and choices of answers on CNET.
USB Camera connection
by merchContractor - 10/27/05 7:16 AM In reply to: How do you transfer your digital photos? by Marc Bennett
This seems to be the most popular or most used way of transferring digital photos from camera to PC, as seen from the poll count (51%). Most digital cameras today have the USB connector since most PCs have the USB port connection also. I would like to try the card reader format connection, but I suppose I'd have to have that type of port connection on my PC as well, so there goes another expense for that. My digital camera is an older type, but still functions as well as any others, but I would like to have a newer, updated type of digital camera, its just the expense of getting one that keeps me from having what I'd like. My dad has one of those digital cams with both a card reader & USB connection and it has a nice color LED display on the back of the camera, plus he can fill up to 100 pic files on the camera, too. His also has a "camcorder" effect on it, too - a short 1-2 minute video cam that he can transfer onto his PC. My camera has the same "camcorder", too, but takes up a lot of space on the camera if I use it as a video cam. I'd have to upload the film from the camera to the PC before going on to taking still photos so I have enough space left on the camera, so I plan my video scenes before taking them. I'd rather continue on with USB connections as long as I have the port connections on my PC than have to go buy another port connector if I buy a camera with another type of connection - seems like a waste of $$ if I get another camera with a different port when I already have the available ports to use. I got one of those extra port devices that addes 4 more USB ports to my PC since I use several USB ports (i.e., a Lexmark printer/scanner, 2 other digital cameras - old ones, but still usable, a wireless mouse and a PDA device connection), so I still need my USB ports continually. Might as well use them for the next digital camera I get, saving me some $$ spent on getting a different port device.

I have an IDE 9-in-1 Photo Card Reader built into my computer. In my opinion, This option is limited only by the speed of the Actual Card.
