I'm having fun doing exactly that with my new Sony DSC F717
still camera. I installed no drivers and am using it on a
USB hub along with a Pockey 60 gig drive to boot. The camera
shows up as H: and I can manipulate the files on it with
WinExplorer, Total (formerly known as Windows) Commander,
and Irfan View.
With the camera turned off, I attach the camera end of the
USB cable to it. (The other end is permanently set in the
hub.) When I turn the camera on, WinXP sees it as a new
drive.
