One of the reviews says "many" cameras won't let you get at your files by simply plugging the camera into a Vista computer. The other review said Vista worked fine, but that review did not plug the camera into the computer, it used a USB card reader. On the other hand our Vista fans will insist that Vista is double-plus good and will mince words to try to convince us that these reviews don't say what they do say. (Our Vista fans also claim that Sigma is not a major camera manufacturer. That would be true for people who buy their cameras at Walmart or Office Depot, but not the kind of photography I'm concerned with. Someone who does not know of the Sigma brand is not serious about photography.) My last post gave a link to an extensive list of camera manufacturers' Vista compatibility lists. They list many cameras that do work and many cameras that do not work. Some state that they are not going to update cameras that don't work with Vista. My Olympus camera is not listed as compatible, but the Vista fans say it is. Perhaps they will next claim that the information dispayed on my computer screen is incomplete because I am using a Macintosh? Bottom line is that you should not expect compatibility. I'm not surprised by this because there have been so many reports of Vista's incompatibility with peripherals. Will the Vista fans deny this too? My Olympus digital camera may be 5 years old, but it works fine. My Minolta SLR is over 35 years old and I have no trouble getting film for it or getting prints made, but Microsoft thinks I should rush out to buy a new camera whenever they say so. No I'm not happy about it. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
