Unfortunately, all of my pictures from the past week are currently on the camera's compactflash memory card, from which I can only retrieve images while the camera is ON.
So... by this weekend I'm hoping to:
- Find someone who can fix my camera, OR just buy a new one.
- Figure out how to get last week's pictures from my flash card to my computer.
If anyone has any advice related to those things, please let me know! (FYI, my camera is a Canon PowerShot A75 which uses CompactFlash cards about 2" x 2.2" rectangle.)
In the meantime, I have a backup digital camera that I'll be using to take pictures for my blog. However... there won't be any picture updates on my blog until I can retrieve last week's photos from my flashcard! In any case, I'll still keep you all posted on my progress...

You can read the Compact Flash card with a card reader, either a specialized one for CF (harder to find) or one of the "universal" readers that have slots for just about anything. I'm surprised you haven't already been doing that since the computer usually reads MUCH faster from the card directly versus going through the computer. Those readers usually run you about $20 at Best Buy or Micro Center.
Man, I can't edit after posting!
Anyway, the sentence was supposed to say that it is faster to read the card directly versus going through the camera.
