connecting a digital camera to mini usb

---

Hi

I just wondered if anyone had tried to connect an external camera via the mini usb port. I have a Canon EOS 350d camera and it would have been fun if you could take a picture, connect the camera to the phone and transfer the picture over. Then you could use wifi on the phone and transfer the picture home or something else.

Is it possible? Does anyone know about any software for doing something like this?

Unfortunately, I don't think the phone can be used as 'USB Host', which is what you would need for this to work.

Ooops - I may be wrong! Have a look here:

I was thkning about the same thing. Only solution I could come up with as lots of adapters, but in the camera not in the phone. No one makes sd to compact flash adapters, but they do make them the other way round. Just means you'd have to go microsd > sd > compactflash.
