Just got a JVC digital video camera, which has the ability to shoot stills as well, saving them to a MultiMediaCard.
It comes with a PC serial interface cable, which of course is useless to a G4. Should you source a serial converter, the Mac software only looks in modem/printer ports, so that option appears out.
The camera will only send video over the firewire cable; no luck transferring stills through firewire.
Anyone know of a decent MultiMediaCard reader or other thingy that would let me grabs the pics off my Mac?
Have a Sandisk Imagemate that reads compactflash cards, is that of any use to the MultiMediaCard? (am traveling away from the G4, or would check myself ;-)
Thanks for any thoughts ... cheers, db

Addendum by db: Took the camera back, got a Canon Optura Pi. Much better camera. The JVC mike picked up major motor hum; the Optura Pi doesn't. The MMC card stills were shoddy on the JVC too.
