downloading photos from my sony cybershot DSC-P93

[J3rry]

why does it takes so long to download 15 photos
of +/- 1mb each ??

it takes 10 to 15 minutes and my battery almost got drained of my camera
both hardware is capable of reaching high speeds
but when connected to eachother it goes slooooow

please fix this

Plug in USB to camera, open my computer double click on the camera (normaly shows as a removable drive) you may need to open a file named DCIM, select all pics, right click select copy.

Then open a file for where you want the pics to be stored, right click paste.

yeah 'duh' i know
but when im on vacation i can't take my computer with me
so i will store all my pictures on my vaio pocket (the mp3 player)
since it got 20 gig of space i can take alot of pictures on my vacation

but the transfer takes up to 15 minutes witch isnt normal

for how many pics?

[J3rry]

for how many pics?

i tested it with 15 pics around 1mb each pic

and the transfer takes up to 15 minutes

Sorry..

I would really like to know if this happens with other sony cameras, too?

Because the upload of pictures is a feature I really want to have for my holiday. Does somebody else use this feature?

@J3rry: were you able to solve the problem?

The bottleneck might be the camera.. since vaio pocket transfers files from PC at almost blazing speeds.

However, DSC-P93 supports USB 2.0 (it isn't almost as fast as the vaio though, I had a DSC camera myself), so it might be that sony has to upgrade the data transfer speed from the DSC range, via firmware..

Just a thought J3rry, have you tried both the current and previous firmware? how do the transfer speeds compare.. we might be able to find a solution quicker, if we have that info.

This is very puzzling... meditate on this I must..........

no i didnt solve the problem,

i tought the vaio and camera both uses usb 2.0, it says on the box of my vaio

my guess is the firmware on the vaio that doesnt support high speed transfers when linked to the camera
and they should fix the firmware

Does anybody else could post his experience with uploading photos from his camera directly to the VP?

What's about the DSC-P100/P150/F828 or cameras from other companies?

Thanks for posting your times!
