Currenly, I can take pictures and video with my Canon Powershot, and then upload them to my computer's hard drive. I'd like to bypass my memory card altogether, and store media directly to my iMac. Is there any way to do that? Would I need special camera software, or special OS X software? Are there any ways to do something similar, if not exactly this? Thanks! |

What you're attempting to do is called tethering. It is possible with most digital SLR cameras, but I'm not aware of any point-and-shoot cameras (such as the Powershot) which support tethering. |

You could get an EyeFi memory card which will automatically save photos to your computer as you take them via your wireless home network. (If you take photos away from home, when you return, it will transfer the photos then, automatically.) |

As far as I know this is only possible with Canon's EOS SLR cameras along with the EOS utility found here. It cannot be done with powershot models. |

If you have a DV camera, it is possible to capture directly to hard drive. Normal capturing occurs in real-time, with the computer recording what the DV tape plays back. Simply setting your capture software to record while the camera is running should let you capture directly onto the hard drive. I've done this in previous versions of Adobe Premiere (v6 if I remember correctly); as always, you may get different results on different hardware/capture combinations. |
