1)You mean cameras are seen like flash drives? OtherWyse you’re telling something new – S50 AFAIK can’t map USB camera (as video device) into remote ssession. 2)Can you attach this Canon device to the XP computer (as flash drive) without installing any specific driversapplications from Canon? I wasn’t able to do this – my Canon device requires its own software. Other vendor camera and phones – no problem, but not Canon.
