I download straight from my camera via usb cable ........ have a 16 gb card for 2 years now now problems at all ... and I reformat it in the camera when I want to erase the photos....... works great for me...... others might have other opinions....but unless it starts acting up... thats my method...........
I agree with you DB. I thought most cameras have a usb cable hookup. I never take my card out unless it's filled and I need more space right away.

Some cameras have a menu option to move images from internal memory to external (memory card). There may be a way to connect the camera directly to a computer and using the file management software (windows explorer for example) to locate the camera as a storage device. If I do not have an image processing program opened, just about any camera I connect shows up as a storage device. If camera post processing software is running it may or may not have an option to "look" at internal memory of the camera. Software that came with your camera would be a great place to see if and how to download images in the camera memory. Check the instructions for that software.

I can't think of a good reason why any camera would let you take pictures without a memory card installed, even one! Can you? When I turn on my camera, a message comes up right away that says no card.

Not really. I suspect that it's an artifact of the design of the path taken by the data collected by the sensor, and not something that's intentional.
BTW, if your shooting an a77, there's an update for the firmware, version 1.04; check it out.

I did the same thing once. Now I leave the camera on my computer desk. When I finish downloading the card, I put it back in the camera, before I put the camera in the bag. Another way is to have a spare card, and change the card before downloading the files.

Most important thing is to know the camera you are using!
I was sent to a school many years ago to photograph the students. My boss handed me a new camera I hadn't used before and gave me a few quick instructions on about four of the functions. When I was down to the last three, the card ran out of memory. Somehow, when I changed the card, I inadvertantly changed something in the menu that let me preview the pictures without saving it. Once I photographed the last three on the new card, I reviewed them and saw NO PHOTOS. I had the three brought back again, photographed them AGAIN. Still no photos.
Back at work, we were able to find the problem. To this day, I don't know how I could have changed the menu setting.
Fortunately, we had already scheduled a make-up day for one or two missing students. Now that the problem was solved, I was able to get all five for a complete class.
Back to the first line. Know the camera you are using. People have handed me their cameras all the time and I will tell them, "I don't know how to use your camera." They get a kick out of it because is I have that big camera with the big flash, I must know how to use a simple point-and-shoot camera.
Get out the manual, read it, re-read it, and study it again.

Did that once at a Michigan football game. My Dad and I had good seats...45 yd. line, 34 rows up (so good spot to take pics), and a guy I'd played with in h.s. that my Dad had helped recruit to Michigan was kicking off. I got some good pics of him on my Ftb but got home and found I hadn't put film in the camera.
