- Hello everyone,
Have any of you ever tried to get pictures off a handheld camera into your blackberry using some sort of USB method and software?
I'm just wondering because I would like to post pictures from my camera up on the web even if I can't get to an internet connection while I'm international. (such as on a blog of some sorts)
I think I can find a blog site that will allow me to make posts through email so if I could attach these pictures to the email that would be perfect.
I did already purchase a Canon SD1000 if that makes any difference in responses.
Thanks!Last edited by pooger; 01-16-08 at 05:12 PM.

my sd card did come with an adapter.
can you use normal micro sd cards like that in the new cameras?01-16-08 08:00 PMLike 0 - You can try that. However, the formatting may be different between the devices and it probably won't work. Post back the results, though. I'd be interested to see if it works.01-16-08 09:08 PMLike 0

This works as long as the microSD card you use with your camera is supported. Meaning, if you have a microSD with adapter that is 6GB capacity memory card, and your BB device can only support 4GB, then you are out of luck. You won't be able to browse the photos taken. So I would suggest, make sure to get a capacity that will be supported by your BB.
As for saving pictures, if your purpose is just to post these photos online to share and not really print, then I would set it to a lower quality or smaller size photos. Loading these photos into your BB is such a pain It takes awhile to load and browse them. And not only that too, emailing them too will take forever... so yeah, it is frustrating. Since you are on vacation anyway, you have spare time to email them when you are taking a break or something.01-16-08 10:37 PMLike 0 - Here's a picture I took using my Canon PowerShot A610 and emailed to myself using my BlackBerry Curve. Took 17 minutes to email this size of photo.

BTW: Enabling WiFi and connecting to a WiFi hotspot will speed the upload tremendously. Turn WiFi off when done though since it sucks battery life.09-18-09 11:20 AMLike 0
