Hello,
I am a French user, to excuse the English translation...
I discover your software "Downloader Pro" in test version.
This last one allows without problem recovery of the image of the Canon 20D both in USB connection and in reading of card.
With a Canon PowerShot SD550 the appliance is detected well under accessible Windows XP since preferences / Mapping drank no seen image.
The Canon PowserShot SD550 writes at Root of the card SD and not in has a directory DCIM…
Auto-detect camera is selected, Scan whole disk is selected…
Incompatibility or bad setting?
Tank you !

I'd be very surprised if the SD550 writes images to the root folder of the memory card because it would mean it doesn't comply with the DCF standard. I suspect what you are seeing is Window Explorer's view of the camera which isn't the same as the folder structure on the memory card.
You can use Downloader Pro download images from the SD550 if you use a card reader.

I confirm by defaut the card sd .jpg watch at the root level and an empty directory MISC …

:confused: The menu of Canon PowerShot SD550 can create directory a day has the given one hour … not of folder DCIM...

Preferences / Mapping / Add > Canon PowerShot SD550 = Images root seen
Download = No Image

See Menu Create Folder > http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd550/page3.asp

I'm sorry I don't have an SD550 for testing and so I can't try this at the moment. My Canon EOS 5D has the option to create folders and these are created in \DCIM in accordance with the DCF specification. I'd be very surprised if Canon are not complying with the DCF spec.
