As I've now written more times, I haven't yet seen a Canon - or Nikon,
Panasonic, Kyocera or Olympus made camera - that can't be used on any
system from Mac OS 8.6-9.2.2, OS X 10.0.x to 10.4.x as well as Windows
98SE to XP without installing any extra software. - They do work 'out
of the box'!
My Digital Rebel and my A70 do either Normal=TWAIN or PTP, they do not
do USB mass storage.
Are you sure that you have the latest internal Canon firmware/software
in the camera?
If I set my Olympus or Medion to PTP, it also results in no connection
to any computer - Mac or Windows. The camera _MUST_ be set to "PC Mode"
picture transfer.
That's probably why Canon says (regarding the Rebel XT):
"To connect your compatible Canon digital camera with a Windows XP
pre-installed computer via USB cable, you need to install the
appropriate USB WIA driver on your computer."
Hm, it might be this "...a Windows XP pre-installed..." that is the
-------------
culprit. All of the Windows users that I know, who are using Canon
digicams are all using full retail installs of WinXP.
