I don't think it works like that. I don't have the same camera, but I have a Canon and from what I read of his posts it works the same way. You have to install their crappy piece of software (or one of the ones other people use) to get the pictures off.

That's why I bought a little SanDisk CF card reader. That does work that way. I never connect my camera to my computer now.
