Most modern digital cameras (not WebCams) have two modes of connectivity to the PC -> Semi-proprietery P2P mode and USB Disk mode. I think, its almost the same on most mobile phones as well. You can connect your camera directly to your USB port and if your camera model is supported by your photo software of choice, it will automaticaly start downloading the same. If it is not detected automatically, then you can always change the mode to USB Disk and use the same software to download the pics. The third option is to remove the memory card and directly to your PC's card reader. Most cams use SD or Memory Stick Pro. Hence all of them are generally compatible (FAT 32 File system). And yes, Raja's sugestion of using dpreview.com is a good idea to choose a good cam. Note: I have never had any problems connecting Nikkon (SLR), Sony (Point and Shoot) or Cannon (Point and shoot) cameras. Never tried other models. with regards, Natarajan. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
