I have decided to give my college-age daughter a Canon point-and-shoot
camera for Xmas. She has a Macbook Pro (15 inch?) laptop and a PC
desktop that she intends to give to her younger sister because she
doesn't use the PC any more.
My question is: does the Macbook Pro have a built-in SD or SDHC flash
card reader? This is what the Canon camera uses. Looking at the Canon
USA web site, it says that
Canon is conducting compatibility tests for the current versions of
Canon digital imaging software with the shipping versions of Mac OS X
10.4 [Tiger]. Results will be posted soon. For now, Canon is not
claiming compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4
So, should I buy also a USB card reader for the camera?
Second question:
She got the Macbook Pro last September. Would getting an external USB
or IEEE 1394 hard drive be beneficial for backup (i.e., would the Mac OS
automatically back up like I've heard when an external hard drive is
connected? (There is a name for this, but I can't think of it.)
