Thanks for helping with my Christmas shopping list!

Most cameras come with a program to load the photos with. Both of my cameras did. Some come with a Disc that you just put into the disc drive, some come with CD's.
Mine came with a USB cord which I think is the best way to load. Since I have Windows XP, a little screen just pops up when I plug in my camera to the USB cord and it asks if I want to load my pictures.

Resizing can be done in Windows Paint, as well as some cameras even come with editing/resizing programs.


The Canon has 3 different size options: Large (1600x1200), Medium (1024x768), and Small (640x480). I normally use small since it's the perfect size to post on Pet Talk.
