 | View Full Version : Anyone has a Canon digital camera? digiguy 08-06-2002, 09:49 PM I bought a Canon digital camera and need a good browser to download the pictures. I heard the one which is ZoomBrowser from Canon is not that good. This is why I need some help finding a good browser for Win XP Pro. Anyone? JeremyV 08-06-2002, 10:02 PM Does it use a regular flash card for photo storage? If so what I would recomend is a simple flash card reader to connect to your PC for around 20 dollars. Just plug it in via USB and it recgonizes your card as a "drive" in windows where you can browse the contents in windows explorer or whatnot. No extra crappy bloated software to install just to get the files from your camera. digiguy 08-06-2002, 10:11 PM I actually have a PCMCIA card but I just want a broswer replace the not stable ZoomBrowser. XcaliburWS 08-06-2002, 11:59 PM i have a canon powershot s110.. i just use the zoom browser that comes with it.. or sometimes i just download it through My Computer.. windows xp picks the camera up and you can access it just like a regular drive. I think zoom browser is fine... it seems to work perfectly for me. shaunewing 08-07-2002, 12:45 AM I've got a Canon Powershot A10 with USB interface. I don't use the ZoomBrowser - I didn't even bother installing it. I use the Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard (Control Panel -> Scanners and Cameras) for quick imports to jpg (72dpi), or when I want to work with them directly - they import straight into Photoshop (or most other imaging software) using the TWAIN interface at 300dpi. It works great - but the methods supported really depend on your particular camera. --Shaun bowhuntr 08-15-2002, 05:46 PM Try the BreezeBrowser from http://www.breezesys.com/ 'nuff said ;-) Chicken 08-15-2002, 08:30 PM While I personally have no problem with zoombrowser either (maybe I have an updated version which is more stable?), that breeze one looks pretty nifty for $35. Qacer 08-16-2002, 04:39 PM Zoombrowser is pretty good in my book. I use it for both my Canon and Sony digicam. It works for Win XP Pro. Chicken 08-16-2002, 09:37 PM The version I have is 3.1 -is that older or newer than your version digiguy? I just noticed that you 'heard' it wasn't good. It really isn't all that bad if you've not tried it. shaunewing 08-16-2002, 09:49 PM I have no stability problems with my ZoomBrowser - works fine (I have ZoomBrowser EX 2.6.0.11) - so I wonder what versions are unstable. --Shaun XcaliburWS 08-17-2002, 01:58 AM Originally posted by Chicken The version I have is 3.1 yep so do i.. 3.1.0.40.. as i said before.. it works fine. |
