Thanks very much for the reply. Are you happy with the E510?....do you have any gripes about the camera? ...and thanks again Dar Silver

Dar, I think the E510 is a great camera. I also have a E500 which is also a good camera, but what makes the E510 better in my book is the in camera stabilization. I think if you get the 14-42 and the 40-150 mm lens you can't go wrong with the 510. I was at my Grandson's birthday party today and took about 130 pictures and I'll be put some on his webpage " oldpalmerton.com " by the end of Sunday ( 24 Feb. 08). You can check out the type of pictures you can take with the E510 and a 40-150 lens. Good luck with what ever camera you do get. Greg

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

I have no idea, but being that this is a microsoft product, it may well work. What I do understand is that Vista was notorious for not having older software be incompatible for it, and I think Win7, and 8, and 8.1 may have rectified this to some extent at least.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Vista Compatibility" I'm sure if will work with any operating system. If there are special codes for vista, the manufacturer could probably answer it.

Yes on the foot switch. Should work with Vista but you really should upgrade!

I have a W3852 and it works on a laptop with XP, however I was not able to get to work on a laptop with Vista.

If you had a windows 7 disk and key, it should not be a problem. Do a quick google search though. I know on the past the difference between xp and vista/7 there was a chipset driver that needed installed with it which lead to a giant hassle. As long as the chipsets are the same you are good to go.

i found that one-of the xp drivers on that cd will let it run in vista.., be sure that u load the correct driver as-in: " 32 or 64-bit " driver for the os ur running.., after goin back over ur Q in the email, i got it to connect in both vista home basic 32-bit & vista business 32-bit versions using the 32-bit version of the xp driver on that disc.., i kno i'm a lil late gettin back to u with a better or updated answer, but i ran accross it by chance & it connects to my dial-up isp after loading that one driver..

I would expect it to be compatible as Vista is same drivers windows 7. Of course you should have the latest service pack for Vista. The AMD website shows vista compatible.

Thank you for telling me I should install Windows 7 Professional. If that's the case, then why does the text for the product say that it works with Vista and XP?

Yes, I'm currently using it with Windows Vista. I had no problems with installation.

It works just fine with XP. The hardware is well-supported. It is the software you want to be concerned about.

It works fine with Windows XP Pro but I don't have Vista and so can't speak to its compatability.

I would recommend contacting Phoenix. We are running ours on a laptop running Vista and a friend is using his laptop which is Windows 7 I believe. In theory it "should" work...but Phoenix can better answer!

I'm using mine with Vista so probably it will work with XP. There are no drivers to load so there will be no issues from that standpoint.

Just checked the box it says good for WinXP (SP3), Vista (SP1)/7/8 and that's quoted in system requirements. Hope this helps.

It works with Windows 7 - 32 & 64 bit, Windows XP, Window 8... I haven't tried it with Vista, but I have no doubts that it will work just fine.
