I think A710 IS is compatible with Windows Vista. There is no need for a driver since it is the same with Windows XP or Vista. I have ordered a laptop with Vista Home premium. And I'm just waiting to see how good it looks with my camera's photos. Try checking the Canon website for yourself. No need to do anything for ur camera and vista.

I have no experience with "Vista" as such (i use XP myself) but as far as "Quicktime" goes, my older Canon Powershot A480 would store ".AVI" files (640x480x30fps with mpeg-2 compression, i think). My later Canon Powershot SD780 IS on the other hand stores HD video (1280x720x30fps) in Quicktime ".MOV" format (with h.264 codec compression). "Downloading" to the computer should be equally easy either way, it's more a question of "playing it" (what media player software

I recently got this 250GB passport and it works perfectly with my Vista home premium. I didnt encounter any problem. It was just plug and play; as simple as that.

I use it with Windows, but I checked the operating manual. Under the section called Included Software, PDF Manuals it lists the system requirements for both PC and Mac. The Mac section lists the following requirements: Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 Computer: Computers running one of the above operating systems (preinstalled), with an included USB port and Internet connection Processor: Core Duo 1.83 GHz or higher (still images), Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz or higher (movies) RAM: 1 GB or more (still images), 2GB or more (movies) Interfaces: USB Free Hard Disk Space: 550 MB or more Display: 1024 x 768 resolution or high It then says to check the Canon website for the latest system requirements, including supported OS versions. I hope this helps!

not sure if there was a Vista update or a redesign of the Zen but i've had mine for a few weeks, and it connects with Vista Home Premium laptop and Vista Business desktop without any Zen software installed. i did later download the latest Zen Media Explorer for the video convertor so i know the software works on Vista too.

nope.. don't buy this if you have vista. They do not have a update. I don't expect them to make a new one either as OEM's have had vista to test their products on for over a year. If you have vista and you buy this it will not work as is the case for me.

I am sorry, Brian, I don't have Vista. I have Windows XP. From comments when I search your question (you may have already done this), there are different answers. It seems the hardware (cable) would work. Some say it is the driver to the printer that needs to be Vista compatible. If your printer is HP, you can call HP and ask them if there is a driver that would work for Vista and could they direct you to a download for it. You might also find it on a web page of your printer's brand name. Good Luck.

I never used it with Vista Home Premium, but Epson's website says it is compatible with Vista. But read this from the Epson web site about installing drivers:http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supAdvice.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&type=highlights&noteoid=86150. Says not to insert the install disk that comes with the printer. I would give it a try, as Amazon would let you return it if it does not work.

I tried with clean vista installation. You can edit the audio track only. Technically you can edit if you have the right codec. But I Goolged a lot and nobody seems to be able to do it with Microsoft Movie maker or other free video editor.

I just got mine (June) and it works perfectly in Vista (Home Premium) on my laptop.There are new updates on the website at Creative.com, so check it out.

The answer is yes. The Canon website (www.usa.canon.com) has the drivers and software needed to run the 8600F on Vista.

I have it installed in a 64 bit Windows 7 machine and the install and operation is flawless. I would assume there should be no issue on a Vista system but I don't know for a fact.

Brenda, I purchased this product in 2010 and my computer had Vista... I am not sure if this will work for you.. they may have done some updates to their program. I would check into it first. That being said... I do love the program. I am sure if they have done any updates it will be just as good....

I have been using my 6600D with Vista 64 for a year. When I upgraded to Vista Business from the Beta, I found no trouble with my Canon. Photos are extraordinary, and the speed is satisfactory. I prefer the pictures printed at the standard speed; the higher quality takes much longer with no apparent improvement in picture quality. I would upgrade to the 6700D but the 6600 is still working. The best thing about it is the ink tanks are affordable compared to Epson or HP. If you buy the ink at Staples at their online price, it is only $14.25 per tank. (In store prices are much higher, but they give you the online price without question).

Sorry for the lag, Yes it works fine with vista. About the only gripe I have with the device is that the display isn't the best and the output to TV is the same. Just comparing to the Epson, but for ~1/2 the price it's worth overlooking, in my case. I use it for storage first and viewing second. The only place I delete is once the photos get on the computer. The little thing is tuff too, just got back from a 4K camping\ride and never had an issue. Actually everyone on the ride was very impressed with the device.
