Yup,

If I remove the original software from the PC will I still be able to
download from the smaller digital canon a30 , I think he will still
want to use it for some quick photos when we travel . will the new
drivers work for the smaller older camera. or should i leave all the
files from the original camera in place

I really do not want to purchase another piece of equipment . I like
haveing the photos on my pc . I use my pc to copy the photos to CD also
to make DVD slideshows . We also e-mail the photos to friends out of
town so I think I need to just work with the PC. It is an option if
all else fails. I hope the Manuals may shed some light. Guess I will
just need to wait until Christmas morning

Get a card reader instead, then you don't need the drivers from either
camera.

Not a bad idea at all. It seems to take forever to download images from the
camera using Canon's software.

With a Sandisk Extreme III CF and a Sandisk firewire reader, I was able to
download over 70 images (>800MB) in a bit over one (1) minute to a 7200 RPM
hard disk (RAID 0). This was done using a DOS command prompt with no image
software running (Zoombrowser or Bridge).

Hi.

We have 3 Cameras. A Fuji, a Canon and a Nikon.

We do not have any of their Software on the Computer.

The Nikon was on for a little while, but soon got removed because it was
useless. I cannot imagine the Canon is any better, the Cd has never been
out of its sleeve.

Just get a card reader and a decent Image Editing Program.

You will not regret it.

I don't think you quite "got it". :^)

A card reader isn't really "another piece of equipment" in that it's a
major, separate device to do anything ON. It's a small computer
peripheral that merely plugs into your computer (usually through the
USB port) and allows you to read the memory card (while out of the
camera) directly, rather than reading it through the camera itself.
Many of them are "universal", so you can read any of the card formats
(CF, CF II, XD, SD, etc.). They're only $10-$20 each, normally, so
it's not a huge "equipment" investment, either.

They often allow faster access to the images, too - most versions
nowadays are USB 2.0; many cameras, especially older ones, are still
USB 1.0 (or 1.1), which is about 1/40th the transfer speed[1].
You can also still be shooting with the camera while your pictures are
downloading if you have additional cards. You can also unplug it and
take it to someone else's computer along with the memory card, without
having to carry the camera around, so you can show others your photos,
too.







[1] _theoretically_ - in fact, the claimed "max" speed ratings rarely
occur (note the "*up* *to* XXXmbps" in descriptions of specifications).
Also, most hubs, if you use them with ANY 1.1 devices plugged into them
[even when they are not operating], slow things back down to a total of
12Mbps (divided among the devices). Plugging a USB 1.0 devi8ce in
makes things even slower. Simplistically, this is because of the
nature of the anti-data-collision checking (all devices attached are
polled continuously to see if they have any data waiting for transfer,
and each one can only reply at its native speed). [TIP: if you have
more than one expterrnal USB device (and who doesn't, nowadays?),
always have separate hubs for each speed (1.0, 1.1, 2.0) device type to
avoid this].

As long as you have the drivers for the older camera, your new software
should work fine.. If worse comes to worse, you can download the drivers
from the Canon site.

A card reader is always a good idea, however, using winxp you don't need
any extra drivers (even though canon supply one). You also do not need
zoombrowser except for a couple of features like entering the owner name
into the camera. In the case of higher end models you would need to
check what and where canon offer raw support.
If you connect the camera to winxp without having loaded any software,
the camera and settings wizard will launch. If you elect not to use
that, the camera will show as a device in windows explorer and list pics
it finds. If you have loaded zoombrowser, winxp will give options for
default action. You can still use one of the methods mentioned above.
I'm pretty sure the later zoombrowser will see the earlier camera.

FWIW, Mitsumi has one that replaces the diskette drive, and even
reads diskettes, for 20 bucks.

Consider this: the card reader is very small (roughly the size of a credit
card and <1/2" thick), and can stay plugged in to the pc. Transfers will be
faster through the reader than from the camera. You won't be using the
camera batteries to download. No need to worry about drivers or loading
extra software, ever. Some might say you can 'wear out' the card or risk
damaging the pins. Nonsense. I've been using card readers for at least 5
years, never a bent pin and you'll be upgrading to larger cards looong
before you ever 'wear' one out.

Hi Dave .
I loaded the EOS utility software and also the updated version of
Zoombrowser that came with the camera on the pc yesterday . I did not
need to remove the previous version of Zoombrowser . Everything works
fine I did a sample transfer but the transfer from camera to PC is a
little slow with this Camera on My PC. We only have a 1.1 usb port and
it probably wants 2.0 for more speed. I am considering a card reader
but need to read up on them for my own satisfaction . I am not too savy
on this stuff. My DH wants nothing to do with the PC so I am the one
stuck doing the transfers . I know just enough to get in trouble but
not enough to get myself out of trouble . I need simple and fast .
