can I download photos straight from the camera?
I've read the documentation. It tells one how to download from a memory card, or from a folder on the computer.
I don't have a card reader on my laptop, I have a built in card reader on my desktop.. As a workaround, I plug my camera into my usb port on my laptop, download the pictures into a folder, *then* import them into Capture One.
My question is: Is there any way to tell Capture one to get them right from the camera?

If your camera is mounted as a removable drive on your Windows machine, then I assume you can import directly from camera with CO4.
If you have use or tried CO4 already you maybe want to give it a shot and tell us.0 -
Unfortunately, Canon DSLRs do not function like a drive, but have their own WIA driver. This is certainly true of the 30D, and I assume that it is also true of the 40D.
The Canon driver is pretty slow; with RAW images in particular, you will be much better off downloading directly from a card. And I find it much easier to remove and replace the card than to fiddle with the mini-USB digital socket and its rubber cover.0 -
I don't find it a problem at all to plug the camera in, however I don't like having to dl the pictures to a folder, then import into capture one, so I'll probably be looking at getting a card reader.
I have 3 CF cards, Sandisk Extreme IV. Would I gain much of an advantage by getting a reader with firewire?
I read that, (I have a PC), I would have to use an AC adaptor? Is that true? If so, I wouldn't get firewire no matter how fast it is. I want a small reader that I can toss in my laptop bag. My desktop PC has a built in card reader.

Why do you want to *import* to CO? I simply create a folder at the apropriate place and place all the raw-files where I want them. Then I navigate to that folder in CO (no import necessary). [quote="Joe1957" wrote:

USB 2.0 card readers are much easier to get hold of, and are probably as fast as Firewire 400. I have several; all are tiny, self powered, and cost me less than the equivalent of $15. I always have one in my bag.
You can get Firewire 800 readers from Sandisk and Lexar; they are blazingly fast, and do not (so far as I can ascertain) require AC power. From the reviews I have read, the Sandisk card would be what you need to get the most out of your Extreme IV cards. But it costs $80. The choice is yours.0 -
Just a difference in vocabulary. I guess my question should be "is there a way to get the pictures into C1 s/out first putting them in a folder on the computer.
