Late, here, but ... my dad has a Kodak camera and whatever the format was, we couldn't get it to read straight off the card on linux *or* windows. We even tried downloading their proprietary viewer app for windows, but it kept misbehaving till we gave up. I would say, as long as the camera saves straight to JPG, a usb memory card reader is the way to go. I would further say that if the camera doesn't save straight to JPG or some other readily-useable format, I wouldn't buy it. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
