Cam Question (well, sorta)
I have a pair of binoculars that are also a digital camera On one side they say Innovage Outdoor On the top they say 10 X 25 300 FT AT 1000 YDS They take 2 AAA batteries and have some sort of plugin on the side (USB?) that none of my USB cables fits properly Anyone familiar with these? I took one pic for experimental purposes and I want to DL it to see how it turned out. -- Steve Conrad Henrietta, MO 64036 The time has come for mankind to grow up and leave its cradle behind; to go forth and claim our place in outer space. - Capt.

Re: Cam Question (well, sorta)
You're going to have to get the correct USB cable which should have come with the unit new according to this: http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Digital-10-x-25-Camera-Binoculars/2093747/product.html Again, notice that these binoculars are listed in the Overstock.com category of Sports-Toy. We just keep going and going with these toy cameras an Macs. Since you've already installed Macam, if they work, they work; if not, you're probably out of luck. Honestly, you can probably find a Windows PC in the trash somewhere that will at least be able to off-load your pictures from all these toy cameras, and then you can transfer them to your Mac with a USB Flash stick or whatever networking you might be able to setup from the PC to the Mac. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Well, I don't think all my cams are toys. I have my Olympus, a Digital Concepts camera and my DXG-308.

Cam Question
I have an Olympus digital camera (Model # Stylus 300 Digital) 124740955 It says it takes a 4.8v power cord (says that on the cover to where you plug it in). The only cord I have that is close is a 4.5V cord. Now, will plugging this camera in recharge the battery?

That's quite close, but if it's a 4.5V battery, it will not charge (you have to apply a higher voltage than the rated voltage to charge a battery.) You really want to be careful when doing things like this, not only are there issues of different voltages, but also polarity or whether it's AC or DC.
