how do i download pictures from the canon a720is camera to a flash drive

A flash drive is a memory device, as is the SD card in the Canon camera. You'll need to upload the photos to an intermediate device, such as a desktop or laptop computer. From there you can save the pictures to a flash drive.

The easiest and best way is to take out the SD card (right next to the batteries) and plug it into a card reader (many laptops have them) and once it's on the computer (I recomment Picasa for downloading and viewing photos, but you can just copy the contents of the card to your computer with drag and drop), you can drag and drop them on to your flash drive easily. The same as any other card, or export from Picasa or other photo viewer.

My A720 has a 8 GB SD card in it. I remove the card, plug it into my USB card reader, then I can go anywhere with the pictures. To the computers Hard Drive, to a USB flash card plugged into another USB port, or whatever you want. Easy to do. Much faster to take the SD card out and put it in a USB card reader than plugging the camera into a USB cord to the computer. Done this for several 10,000 pictures.

Wish I could help but I had to send my Canon 720 IS in for the same problem three different times after purchase. The third time it was sent in for the same problem, they said it wasn't warranted anymore and wanted $90.00 to fix it. The Canon was replaced with a Nikon that has been picture perfect for three years.

connect your camera to the PC USB port via the short cord - Then click the button top left of the big button. it has an arrow on it. - provided you already downloaded the software - your pictures should download and open. If you have an old computer it might take a few mins longer. <I have an old computer lol >

You will still need a Laptop to accomplish this. A flashdrive is not self powered, nor an external hard-drive. This is why you need to hook up the Flip Video Camera to the Laptop, hook up the flashdrive, or external hard-drive then go to "My Computer" click and open the Flip Video Camera, dive into the folder containing your video files then open up your flashdrive/external hard-drive folder and drag and drop the files. The software makes it easier, within the Flip Software select all the files you want to save then choose "export" or "save as" and choose a destination ex. flashdrive/external hard-drive.

You can buy any generic USB / micro USB cable. Personally, I bought a $5.00 SD card reader. I pull the card out of the camera, stick it in the small reader and it goes right into any USB port of a computer. Now I can do anything I want with the pictures without having to get involved in Canon's software

You can use a cheap microSD card with the isostick - I use a 16GB one, myself :)

It comes with a USB cable which connects the camera to your computer. You can then download using Windows media or Google Picasa or some other software like Adobe lightroom

I solved that problem by purchasing a Sandisk Memory Card Reader. Insert the picture memory card from the camera, plug it into the disk and plug that into the computer. all pictures and info you want will pop up on the computer. You can then save them to the computer.

I think any flash memory card reader will do the trick provided it will fit/ connect to your computer. Get one with plenty of memory storage say 2GB so that you don't have to download to your main computer right away.

Mr Callahan, This normally is an easy process. 1. Obtain a USB storage device. Memory Stick or external USB HD (depending upon the total size of the pictures)search Amazon for USB 16GB - Almost any of these products should work for you. Don't pay more that about 15 dollars.This product appears to be perfect for what you are doing: SanDisk Cruzer 16 GB USB Flash Drive (SDCZ36-016G-AFFP)2. Perform the photo copies to your new drive.

Sorry Malika the 8720 doesn't have a USB or Memory card slot. But you could send your photos directly to the printer via wireless from a laptop or tablet. If you have a desktop computer as I have you simply plug your camera in and send the photos to any photo program (i.e. Photoshop) or directly to the printer. Hope this helps..

you need the USB cable you received in your camera package, attach it to the camera and your computer, you will receive the option to download whatever software you have - PICASA?

Yes you can. You need a connector cord from your camera to the computer. The camera comes with Canon software to download the photos and videos.

If your laptop has a slot for SD card, just pop the card out of the camera and insert into computer. If no SD slot, the camera comes with a USB cable.

I remove the SD memory card and use an inexpensive USB adapter to download the files to my computer.Here's one available from Amazon : eForCity SDHC / SD / MMC Memory Card Reader to USB 2.0 Adapter, Smoke

No you cannot transfer to the USB stick without a computer.The photo frame plays jpegs only for photos and you can plug in a SDHC card up to 16gb and play your photos from it. If your camera takes jpegs then you can use the SDHC card in the frame. Plus you should keep a backup of your photos incase of failure of USB stick or SDHC which would require reformatting to fix and that would erase all your photos, music and video files
