I can see no advantage using software to take photos from a camera to a PC; removing the card from the camera and reading it directly on the PC seems the simplest and quickest way to me.
Neither of my cameras have cards. Before the present disaster I could connect my camera to the PC with a USB cable and look at the pictures to delete or save, which is now what I still want to do, but with adobe bridge which seems to be the new default.
It's OK I've sorted out how to use it myself thanks- (with a bit of googling).
Whether you two know it or not, it makes no difference whether you use a card, camera or any other device, you have to have an installed program of some description, in order to convey the photos to your pc.
You've got me curious now, Khandro. Exactly what Panasonic camera have you got and what type of PC? I've been using Panasonic for years from a GH1 to a GH5 as well as compacts and a GX9; all have had cards and all I do is drag-and-drop from the card inserted into my Windows PC to the place I want them on my PC. I don't really consider the "drag-and-drop" feature to be an installed program; perhaps you do
