Canon A75 problem download photos via USB to PC

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

Sounds like the camera, but using a card reader (which many users prefer
anyway) would test if a cf card problem.
If this is the only problem it may not be worth wasting good money chasing
it any further.

I tried a different CF card with the same result. SOunds like the
camera.

What did you mean about good money chasing it any further?

Just that, simply use a card reader when downloading a lot of pics. If you
have no other problem, cost of fixing just wouldn't be worthwhile.
