Hi

Need some basic digital photography help. I have managed to accumulate digital cameras from Olympus, Sony and Camera all of which I use for different things. As a result I have 3 different photo download packages which all store the pictures in different formats. Can I get one package that will recognise all the cameras and download the pictures in the same format in the same place. I dont need anything fancy as only for basic home use - as you can probably tell I am no expert !!

Thanks

You should be able to set them to use jpeg format which is a standard format.

Are they compact camera?

Adobe Photoshop Elements (current one is version 7) or Corel PaintShop Pro Ultimate X2 both have RAW and JPEG 'fetching' software that recognises most cameras on the market - I just download via a card reader rather than direct off the camera, that way I can choose what software to use and it won't automatically open/save the pics with the Canon software that is also installed.

I use a mac, as that makes it all very easy, but when at work I just connect whichever camera I've used directly via usb cable and copy the images directly from the folder (camera) to a new folder on my pc.
