Hi,

I've lost the usb lead for my camera. I can't find a replacement lead for a Brica anywhere.

Is there another way to get the pics into my computer, maybe using some kind of memory card reader?

Thanks

what kind of memory card does it use? you can pick up memory card readers at most computer shops fairly cheaply

16 in 1 apacer card reader's are 300 baht at tukom.

A bonus I found when using memory card readers is that they are usually a lot faster than downloading from the camera.

This is something I'm a bit clueless about.

I've got a card in the camera it's a Lexar 256MB SD card. It's got nothing special on it now, but I'll soon be taking lots of pictures of my newborn son who's due any day.

Is the card reader just a little box with USB connection?

Thanks for your help.

Yes. I bought one for 300 baht that takes an incredible number of card types. SD, MMC, CF, Sony Sticks, etc. Very tiny with a USB cable on it, about 5cm X 5cm square. Automatically detects the card same as a USB Flash drive.

The readers are very cheap and just plug into your usb port. Many printers have them built in nowadays. SD memory is also very cheap at the moment so if you are going to be taking a lot of pics at high res, then it may be worth getting a larger card as well (2gb card should do)

Thanks alot for the info everyone.

I'll get out and buy one in the morning.

Take care.

Do you know if any of the card readers is capable of deleting the images on your card after transferring to a computer??

Thanks.

Sure -- the memory card should show up as another device (like a hard drive would) when you explore "My Computer". From there, you can copy, delete, etc...all the thing you can do with the files on a hard drive.

I got one today-150 Baht.

Works a treat in iphoto, and I can delete the contents of the card on my computer.

Thanks again everybody.
