Canon DSLR - disk show on Desktop?

[eyup]

Hi all,

I have a Canon 860IS and the camera doesn't show the disk on the Desktop like my Nikon, so have to use iPhoto.

Sooo I am wondering do the Canon DSLRs e.g. EOS 40D show the disk on the desktop when connected to a Mac?

You could just get a card reader. Most of the time card readers are faster anyway.

Yes, the memory card shows on the desktop for the Canon DSLRs.

But you can use Image Capture instead of iPhoto to browse the files, works just the same as if it were mounted on the desktop.

For reasons known only to Canon, it does not support USB automount.

Oops, I remembered wrong. It doesn't mount as a mass storage device.

Image Capture still works well though.
