Panasonic Cameras and Windows XP

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I just bought a Panasonic FZ3 and I want to use the Windows XP Scanner and
Camera Wizard to download and manage photos from the camera. I haven't been
able to get this to work. It doesn't seem to recognise the camera.
I can only download from the camera using the bundled Panasonic software
which I don't like.
Has anyone been able to use the Windows XP Scanner and Camera Wizard with
Panasonic cameras?
Thanks,
John

Thanks Tony,

my computer recognises the FZ3 as a drive ok.
I also have a Canon Powershot and when I connect that to the computer it
recognises it as a drive but ALSO loads the Windows Scanner and Camera
software for downloading the images, rotating and printing etc.

How long have you had your FZ3? Happy with it? I just got mine yesterday.

js,

I'm not sure whether that's actually desirable. I, for one,
prefer the logical drive.
