Minimal software to download Canon PowerShot to Mac?
Digital Rebels and Powershots don't do USB mass storage, I didn't think
the other models did either. It's one of the lame things about Canons.
I generally trust your posts but this is the second time you've spouted
major, easy to check bull****.

some do. last week i had an eos 350D and 400D on my desk trying to get
them working. i think the 350D's sold as the digital rebel in the US.
the 350d can be persuaded to appear as a usb bulk storage device by
selecting USB/PC-mode on the camera, rather than the PTP or whatever
the other mode is. the 400 can't - the feature's been removed for some
reason.
drove me bat**** as it just doesn't plain work on our win2k sp4 work
clients here in ptp mode - had to use the 350D as an expensive card
reader in the end...!
i'm sure there's a reason for this but i can't see any justification
for removing the ability to appear as a usb bulk storage device on a
camera...for when you don't want to install canon's cruft, or want to
use it on a new PC...
