So you've discovered that downloading via USB is slow ? Is this news ? Please, please, please, the "pro" part of the prodig list surely has something to do with professional ? If you are a professional, then please go and buy a firewire card reader, or at the very minimum a PC Card adaptor for your laptop. Nobody in their right mind uses USB to transfer images, unless your firewire card reader just died on you. I perfectly understand that we all have to learn, but this is such an old topic of conversation that has been covered on every digital imaging website out there. The only people who should be using a direct download via the cameras in built USB connection are amateurs or still lifers (who don't need the speed), everyone else should buy something faster. A firewire card reader, here is an example of one, there are others. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005OMZM/ref%3Ded%5Fsoc%5F%5F1%5F 1/026-5762732-1699608 Regards Paul PS - sorry to be so hard, I know we all have to start somewhere, but using an Ixus400 as a card reader? That has to take the biscuit. PPS - the Ixus400 is a fine camera BTW. I love mine, but would not have dreamed of using it for downloading images. Perhaps I've been missing one of its tricks :-) -- Paul Tansley Fashion & Beauty Photography London +44 (0) 7973 669584 http://www.paultansley.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
