Software

The included software EasyShare 5.01 (updates to 5.2 Automatically) is quite good and works in both Windows and Macintosh.

If you want to run it on Linux (eg. Gentoo) you have to have a recent version that supports USB and then install gphoto2 and something like Digikam, Linux supports RAW editing too.
