Digital Camera software?

[Swoop]

Got a Fuji DX10 and the packaged software sucks.  Anyone know of a download of a decent app for pulling pics off the cam?


Tried searching but all I keep finding is real cheap rubbish that doesnt recognise the camera is there.

You could try ACDsee, it supports quite a few cameras, but I don't know about your particular model.

Another alternative might be a usb smartmedia card reader. You take the smartmedia card out of the camera, and the usb reader shows up as another drive in windows, letting you access your pictures any way you want. USB smartmedia readers can be had for £20-£30. However, some cameras use an incompatible file format to the pc, so you should check wether your pics would be accessible with a usb reader.

I'm with Nash on this one.
Get a USB compactflash/smartmedia adapter, and you wont even need camera software. As soon as you plug the cable in, Windows will recognize it as a drive and you can access it in My Computer.
Windows XP will even bring a nifty dialog to download the images to your computer.

I use Lexar digital media (compactflash), with a Lexar Jumpshot USB adapter. Works like a charm.

Yup, Yup, what Nashwan and Analmal said.  USB reader.

Here's a cheap one from Computer Geeks:

Hopefully your camera uses CF Cards instead of PoopMedia Cards.
