[MacDV] Still pics with Panasonic PV-DV201-K camcorder

[Ann Billups]

This is a bit late, but I have a JVC camera that has a multimedia card 
and only came with pc software. I have never been able to get any of my 
macs to read the still memory card using the pc cables. While still on 
OS9, I bought a ZIO! card reader, but they never upgraded their drivers 
for OS10, so recently I bought an Inogear 6 in One USB memory card 
reader and it reads the multimedia card fine. iPhoto picks it up when 
plugged in. I would suggest this and not fool around with trying to 
read the card in the camera. Got the reader on sale for $23 when buying 
over $50 through one of the web stores.
