DX7590 SD Design Errors: Any Fix?
Can anyone tell me if Kodak's DX7590's SD cards can be addressed by any
known computer program without going through EasyShare, AKA DisasterShare? EasyShare slows down computer starts by constantly trying to contact Kodak every time you boot your computer. I have been unable to address the SD card directly through my media slots (Widows XP), and Kodak tells me it takes about 5 minutes to download about 1 minute of video. With a 1 gig card, it would take, they say between 3-4 hours to download a video. I am ready to trash the camera and get a Sony. Are there any solutions out there? Or does Kodak deserve to go bankrupt? |

DX7590 SD Design Errors: Any Fix?
I don't have the DX7590 or use a Kodak SD card, but use sandisk or other
generic brand. My xp picks that baby up and I never use the EasyShare anything, as there is no need with XP. Maybe the kodak SD card you have is bad? I wouldn't get a new camera just for that! I love my Kodak cameras. I've had 2. If you decide to trash your's let me know! "George Conklin" wrote in message ink.net...

I'm most interested in getting a 1 gig video off the card. It plays on the camera, but does not download. |

It plays on the camera, but does not download. Why not buy or borrow a USB card reader and see if XP can read your SD card using this? If the card is recognised you can then drag (move or copy) your video to a directory on your PC. -- David Wright |

The computer has a SD card reader built in, but, no, it does not copy across except through Kodak's software. I am wondering if there is any software which will enable this. Kodak just says spend 4-5 hours transfer time using their software. |

Are you saying that on your computer Windows XP does not recognise any SD card in its reader as a drive? -- David Wright |

The video plays in the camera, however. A short video downloads ok through Kodak's Easy Share, but the help desk told me to allow 3-4 hours to transfer a 1 gig file. I think this makes the camera worthless for videos. I used it because I had forgotten my usual video camera for a meeting. |
