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

[ShirleyK]

There are many kinds of memory cards. He should look at his manual and 
see what type of card it is. SanDisk, Lexar, and others make readers 
that take many different kinds of memory cards, but they are more 
expensive than a single type reader ($40 instead of $15-20 at Frys). I 
think the last one I noticed read 8 different kinds. However, if the 
files are not stored in ordinary JPEG format, they may still not be 
readable without the Windows software.
