Digital Camera for Mac OS 9?

by bluecab Sep 23, 2005 12:32PM PDT

A couple of days ago I purchased a Canon SD200 Digital Elph camera at B & H Photo in NYC as it stated in the specs that it is compatible with OS 9. However, the software that it comes with works with OS X only.

Someone suggested that I work around this with a "card reader". I will look up how this works, but I have onle a couple of days to decide whether I can keep this camera and if not, what to replace it with. It would be nice to use the software that comes with the camera. I can't use iPhoto (OS X) to import and arrange pictures either.

Also, do I have to buy a photo printer, or can I use my Epson color printer to print out my pictures? Gee, this is getting expenSive....

Thanks for helping, in advance...

A dejected abandoned OS 9 user, otherwise happy with my system.

wither and die.

As far as the printer is concerned, it depends on how good you want your prints to be. If your printer isn't up to it, you can always take or send the photos to a company that makes prints. That's probably the least expensive option.
