Hello!
I am looking for a digital camera that supports high-speed USB 2.0,
that is a data rate of >12Mbit/s.
So far I've found the Sony Cyber-shot P100 and P120. The other one I
know is the HP PhotoSmart R707.
During my research I came across several cameras that claim USB 2.0
compatibility, but don't specifically say "high-speed USB 2.0" in their
specs. I suspect those manufacturers are trying to fool customers
about this, since the interface transfer rate doesn't go up all the way
to the theoretical 480 Mbit/s (I know that the limitation is on the
memory cards, which deliver only up to 6-8 Mbyte/s).
Example for this is the KonicaMinolta DiMage X50, it's specs say: "USB:
Full-speed 12 Mbps data transfer with a USB 2.0 compatible computer".
I believe they want the consumers who quickly browse through the specs
to read "USB 2.0", but the asterisk refers to a fine-print on the
bottom that limits it to Full-speed USB (12Mbit/s).
Do you know any other cameras that support high-speed USB 2.0?
Thanks for your input!
