I returned from my TOSRV bike trip with tons of photos and video on my Canon G3. I was really excited to see my stuff, but iPhoto wasn't as into it as I was, apparently. Last night, I spent about an hour trying to get iPhoto to download my photos. I won't go into tons of detail, but I basically figured out (by taking a shot on an empty memory card and downloading it via iPhoto) that the movies on my memory card seemed to be causing a problem for iPhoto when it was trying to download the photos. Once I figured this out, I hacked around until I got the Canon photo utility to "see" the camera (it kept conflicting with iPhoto), then downloaded and deleted the movies. After that, iPhoto worked just fine.
I have to say again, after using it during my KY vacation, I love the Canon G3. Seldom does a product just keep finding ways to delight me the way the G3 does. Every time I take it out to use it, I'm happy that I made this purchase. Bravo Canon!
