... this is a repost of this thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=251461), but wanted to get it out of just the Photo Forum...

I got my daughter (she is 3 and loves to take photos) a Philips Keychain Camera to take photos with and I can only download them via my PC. I've tried a little to find a Mac package that will download the photos, but no luck... does anyone have any ideas?

It is a Keychain USB camera... it is recognized by my mac under system profiler as "dual mode camera" (attached)... I just want to download the photos from the camera to iPhotos ... no fancy stuff!

... I exhausted those ideas there (was painful to read all those user comments--"I lost my manual, etc, etc"). Macam seemed the most promising but it doesn't see the camera and even the "Hello Kitty" software didn't seem to do anything at all (one site implied that camera had the same chip-set as the Phillips Keychain)!
