What To Do About My Old Digital Camera - Old USB?
Another question lol: One thing that I am heavily into is taking pictures with my digital camera and putting them on my computer and e-mailing them to friends and family. Ok, I got my digital camera about one year after I got my old computer (five years ago.) So all my old computer USB outlets are old USB. My camera came with a USB/camera cable but it's old USB. So what do I do now? My new Dell has those new USB 2 sockets. Are old USB and new USB compatible? Can I even stick an old USB cable into a USB socket? Will it fit? Are there any go-between connectors? Much Thanks! |

For just about any type of standard flash memory, the fastest
way to transfer pictures from the camera is going to be picking up a USB 2.0 memory card reader, taking the card froout of the camera, and inserting it into the reader which you will use to transfer its contents to the PC. That's been my findings, too. Even a fast camera was slower than the USB 2.0 reader. |

Von Fourche,
Since you got a new Dell. You may want to go to the camera's manufacturer's website, and see if there are any driver/software updates for that camera being connected to a XP PC. -- Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "Von Fourche" wrote in message ink.net...

"Nicholas Andrade" wrote in message . .. ....snip There's no benefit in transfering the pictures via the camera (again, this presumes it stores the pictures in standard JPEG formamt on the memory card). Never say never. I have a Kodak DC220 that can record audio clips. If you don't use the USB cable, you can't "see" the audio clips. They must be embedded in the jpgs somehow. I bought that camera in 1998 and it still works although it's been replaced with a newer model that takes videos too. alien |

You could copy the files using a card reader and then extract the audio. Not even sure I have it anymore, but if you're dying to have it..... |

Yes there are special cases where transferring via the camera may be important, but it's virtually always not the case when dealing with standard graphical files. It's still a 'standard' jpeg file. The jpeg standard allows from broad interpretation and they are still standard |

The jpeg standard allows from broad interpretation and they are still standard I guess it wasn't clear; I didn't say a, "JPEG which meets the standards of the format," but rather a "standard JPEG format". I was using standard as in "regularly and widely used", not "meeting what is required in the format" (for that I used the word compliant). I'm just being picky, but you're redefining the word standard to fit your argument. |
