Hey Tim,

I think Tom suggested this as well. I have a little HP R717 point and
shoot as my kick around camera.
It came with the USB cord for uploading to a computer using the HP Photo
something or other software that came with the camera.

I quickly determined it was a pain in the neck, cumbersome and slow using
the HP software.
I bought one of the USB SD cardreaders for about 29 bucks, and just take the
SD memory card out of the camera, plug it into the reader and then into a
USB port. (In fact this computer has a SD slot in it).

Anyway, it shows up as another drive in "My Computer" and is much faster to
open, download, delete, etc.
than using the camera as an external drive connected by the USB cable.
Plus, you don't have to have the camera sitting on your desk or waste
battery power in it to upload the pics.
