When I plugged my 10D into my WinXP computer with the 10d's USB cable, it appeared as a mass storage device. It was the same as if it was a CF card reader. And I did not have to install anything special from the Canon Cd. But perhaps we are talking a difference of semantics only. All I can say for sure was that it appeared both on the desktop and in Windows Explorer, the same as my CF card reader, or any other drive on the computer. >What I'd suggest is just a USB 2 or Firewire compact flash >reader/writer , costing probably 20-40 euro.

Cheap and fast. However, if for example you wanted to dump some photos from camera to someone else's computer, or your computer at work, the camera's USB cable does work well. -- Need a brighter headlight the safe way?
