Canon PowerShot S45 and Windows Vista

250px-Canon_PowerShot_S45I discovered after I installed vista that Canon had not yet provided any vista drivers for the Canon PowerShot S45. I tried using a few other programs and nothing seemed to work to get my images off the camera. Luckily I have other laptops with XP and I have always just used these XP machines to get my images, but today I was stuck at home with just my vista laptop.
I was about to give up when I thought of something….. my iPod. I had bought an ipod camera connector to get my images off my camera when I am traveling. So I just hooked it up and transferred the pictures from the S45 to the iPod. I then plugged my iPod into my Windows Vista Laptop, opened windows explorer and then surfed to the DCIM folder on my iPod and the images were there for me to move to my hard drive… and eventually to Flickr.
Not a solution for everyone…. but it saved me from spending $40 on a USB flash card reader.
