From Digital Camera to PC

[mystaek]

i would like to know what kind of methods that people use to transfer taken photos from digital camera to PC/Laptop.

Should i use the given software along with the camera or should i download third party softwares to edit the photos?

Lastly can i just plug the usb connection from the PC to digital camera to transfer the photos or do i have to install the software?

your advices and comments are deeply appreciately.

thanks.

Hmm no hard fast rules dude, really depends on your preference.

Personally used to plug the camera to the USB direct and transfer using the provided software.

Nowadays I plug the card into a card reader and transfer using the provided software.

I'm using Nikon View btw.

If you are a Window XP user, you do not have to install any drivers, just plug in the cable and the pc will detect the camera presence...

Ideally will be using a card reader incase...(touch wood)

nope.. not really all cameras. some older cameras XP wun detect.

I do the same as snowcrash cos my camera only runs usb1.1 copying 100s of mb is just too s-l-o-w for me. I use a USB2.0 reader

I think most people will use those 9-in-1 USB 2.0 card reader. My cam is only USB 1.1!
