USB between Nikon D70 with Vista 64-bit
 

Hi,

My Windows Vista (Home Premium 64-bit edition) will not mount my Nikon D70
as a "USB-drive", like it would do with Windows Vista RC1 (Ultimate 64-bit
edition) and Windows XP. Vista tries to install the camera, but requests for
a driver which according to Nikon does not exists. Furhtermore, Nikon replies
in my request that they do not plan to support 64-bit edition of Vista as
this is mean for servers...

Does anyone have the same experience, or is it possible to connect Nikon D70
with Vista 64-bit editions?

Thanks,

Hakon

Only suggestion I would have is to use a USB Card Reader instead of
connecting the camera directly.

I have a Nikon D50 and Ultimate 64-bit OEM Vista. I will try to connect the
camera and get back to you.

Hi, HDFatBoy2003.

My camera is much cheaper - a Nikon Coolpix 3200 - but I agree with you.

I CAN plug my camera directly to the USB port; Vista Ultimate x64 RTM
recognizes it, installs drivers automatically, and assigns it a drive
letter. Then I can download my pics from the SD card or the camera's 16 MB
of internal memory. When I clicked on the NIKON001.DSC file (512 bytes),
Vista said it needed a program, but clicking on the DCIM folder opened a
couple of subfolders (100NIKON and 101NIKON) that hold my photos and showed
them in Windows Explorer.

But I usually just take out the SD card and put it into my always-connected
USB card reader and download directly into Photoshop Elements.
