As long as you have not edited the pics you can transfer them to an SD card and they will display in your camera. If you have edited them, they will still be transferable to other cards/devices, but you won't be able to view them with the camera itself. Using a card reader is always aeasier and safer than hoking the camera up directly.

Did you get yours yet? I just ordered mine after much research. I don't plan to use the software that comes with it. Instead, I'm going to transfer pics to an SD card. If I'm happy with the frame, I'd like to get one for my parents for Christmas.

I have a Sony Cyber Shot. So I'm not sure about your Canon however , what I did was hook up the Sharkk to the Ipad first then the Usb cable to the Sharkk then to the camera. If your using the Usb make sure you slide the little swtch on the side of the Sharkk to Usb I forgot to do this the first time and the Ipad would not recognize the card. As soon as I did the pictures popped right up and loaded real quick. Not to be funny but camera must be on also. I guess that was a DuH right?

Yep, I have the same problem. Luckily, I connected the camera with the card in it, directly into my PC with the USB connector that came with the camera. The pictures downloaded just fine. I thought the card was defective until I saw your post.

You can either take the card directly from your camera and use it in the frame; or use a card reader for your type of card and transfer them from your computer/camera to the card. Hope that helps.

I had to give it a couple of tries myself. It's a zip file if I recall correctly. Expand it first on your computer, then copy the files to your SD card, start the frame and then go to the menu of "update" and it should work from there.

I'm glad to know that Robbie(below) has been able to transfer photos. So far, I have not, but I probably don't know how to do it correctly or my computer is too old. Good luck. I love the camera, tho.

I just realized that a memory card doesn't come with this camera. What a bummer. My camera is on its way to me and I have to go out and buy a memory card before I can use it??? This has never happened before, and I've had four or five previous digital cameras. Is Canon getting stingy?

I just take out the media card and put it into the card reader slot,then upload to a Kodak picture program.It comes with a cable to plug into camera and comp if you want to do it that way,on my earlier Canon the cable slot went bad,so just got into putting SD card into card reader slot on comp.

As far as I know it will transfer RAW files but will not display them (it will transfer any files off the card.) A workaround is to shoot RAW+JPEG; it will then display the JPEGs. There is a maximum size of 4mb; it will transfer photos above this size but won't be able to display them. I have displayed images up to 12.8 megapixels (Canon 5D) on it (photos were under 4mb.)

Hi!! I am wanting to know when you received your answer to your question about whether you can use these for storing and viewing pictures if it worked for you? I too, wish to use these to transfer all pics to each one and want to make sure I will be able til do that with no problems. So, my main question.

I a m hoping that you purchased these, and if the party who answered your question right. I really hate to spend the money if they on my burn music, you know? Thank you in advance. Steph Hi!!

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

I usually just remove the SD card and plug it into a adapter I have attached to my Mac. My PC also has an SD slot. As some of the other answers mention you can also attach a cable between camera and computer and transfer using the Canon software that came with the camera.Another option I've never tried is to use a WiFi enabled flash card - then you don't even have to remove the card from the camera. They are rather expensive though - at least last time I looked.

If your camera uses a SD disk to capture and store images then this should work to allow you to transfer those images from your camera to a PC or printer with no problems. Works just that way for me with my Canon. Plus it's a nice low cost USB work around to bypass older hardware and software on your system that may have been installed originally to support SD disks that no longer works with the new SD disks. Hope this helps.

Well I suppose Canon could be lying or the two techs at two different times were misinformed about the MPEG2. Since the camera hasn't been released yet, how do you know that the files are .mod? Also some sites (not Amazon) are claiming this is an HD camera. It's not, it's SD.

Wade, have you tried just loading the SD card after you have got video or photos on it to the computer? I do that instead of putting what is on the disc on computer. I get the videos and photos that way. Mine works awesome that way. I hope I explained that right.
