cam2pc - nice freeware that simplifies transferring images

We have lots of family pictures on our digital cameras.  However, getting them to our archives (and bypassing photo edit software) is an interesting challenge.  Camera vendors give you software, usually, for this.  However, it sometimes doesn’t work the way you want or comes with added ware that you don’t need.  Plus, it can be a space hog.

Enter cam2pc, a nice freeware utility that will detect your camera type (it’s storage protocol, we think) and then allow you a simple way to specify where and how (including wildcard-style naming for files/folders).

In addition to an intuitive GUI (the options tab is straightforward and has all you need),  a nice feature of this tool is that it will show you thumbnails as it transfers the photos.  The software doesn’t push anything on you — it defaults to a lightweight config mode and allows you to opt out of anything (like auto transformation of pictures for orientation).

cam2pc is a great little utility that simplifies a general problem.  We recommend it.
