My Oly5050Z *is* recognized, but I have only plugged it in one time for curiousity's sake. I utilize a usb2 card reader which is much faster transfer than the camera, usb1, and doesn't load the camera's battery.
As a professional photographer....I have NEVER hooked my camera to the computer. And I can do a lot with my camera hooked up (Canon 1D). Look at why you are wanting to hook your camera directly to the computer. If it's to transfer images... Get a card reader. I have 7 of them: external Firewire, external USB, and internal USB. Obviously not being used all at once :) Each has their use. I prefer the external lexas firewire readers, then the internal USB ones. the little external USB ZIO cardreader is my travel reader and it used mostly on my laptop (SuSE 8.2 right now. I have the 9.1 DVD from the Novell tech kit, but 9.2 should be arriving soon) Although I need to work out the dependency issues with the digital workflow app that I wrote. Doesn't seem to want to work on the newer OS's :( If image transfer is what's keeping windose around....take Paul and my suggestion and get yourself a carreader, you'll be happier ;-D brian -- Brian Jackson Photo Sports ~ Editorial ~ People ~ Travel ~ Events http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com 650-218-5082
