But it would still be nice if the camera could be connected directly
to the USB port without unplugging the memory card each time and using
a card reader. Battery power is quite long nowdays with modern
rechargeable lithium ion batteries.

I saved (or is this word now deprecated) and am delighted with a newly
purchased Canon EOS 40D. Plugging it into the Iyonix gives no response
but I was aware of this before buying - you just have to prove it
yourself don't you ;-)

Direct connection can be achieved on a PC because dedicated software
has been written to do this - lucky devils!
