A quick question regarding Canon A10 ?

4561 · 20th of August 2002 (Tue)

Hi folks,

I am planning to get a Canon A10 camera from a local store. However, my main concern is the compatability with Windows XP ?

Can someone tell me whether Canon A10 can supports
Windows XP or not ??

Please kindly advise.

I've been using Windows XP Professional and I haven't found any conflicts.. the zoombrowser and other packaged software that came with the A10 I had, worked just fine.

In fact, I have observed faster data transfer and sharper images in XP as compared to any other win32 platform.

One piece of advise...if you got extra dime, settle for a higher resolution model like a20 up. Unless you're intending to use that cam for the web and not for large prints, then a10 is for you. Goodluck! Enjoy... Just don't do the firmware update yourself to avoid the "a10 trauma" i had (it's disastrous). AF adjustment update is easy but there's something wrong with the 1.0.0.0-1.0.0.2 update software. Let a canon technician do the job for you in case you have that "itch" of upgrading. Goodluck!!!
