They had a cool looking little toy digital camera for $19, so I just had to pick it up for Evan to mess around with.

No luck. I’ve been googling for drivers or apps or hacks, without any success. Does anyone know how to get pictures from a VuPoint Solutions DC-M1082-VP onto MacOSX? I don’t care if I have to delve into obscure command line utilities, or compile some open source project. I just have to find a way to get Evan’s masterpieces off the camera. And, no, I am not going to buy a Windows machine to do it. It’d be cheaper/easier to just buy a new Canon XTi and hand him my XT :-)

Evans first camera

He’s been shooting pictures almost non-stop since I handed him the camera. That’s pretty cool.
