I can confirm that the Kodak DC210 works with SNG's software via serial cable on the Q60 w SMSQ/E, but this is a rather old camera and can only be purchased secondhand - so perhaps not much help. Besides serial transfer is incredibly slow. If there were ATA drivers (which is the interface this camera uses) or other means of transferring data from CF disks, using the CF disk drives available for the Q60, that would be a real treat! Beware however, not all CF media are equally readable from these drives in my experiance. Dont know if the problems Ive encountered relate to the drives, the media, the cables, the Q60 or any combination of these. This needs sorting out. Per
