Canon DSLR not mounting

[JW8725]

Hello bit of a situation. My Canon EOS 350D DSLR doesnt seem to want to mount?? It works fine under its own software, namely the Canon Image Browser but doesnt seem to show up a clickable icon on my Mac mini. My Sony Cybershot U seems to work fine. I have a Sandisk CFII card inside it. How do I get my Mac to recognise it?

Thanks

My 350D has never mounted as a disk, only ever accessed it through iPhoto

tve tried a few different canon's and none of them mount. I guess it is just a canon thing. Bit of a pain though.

You can get USB card readers that you can put the memory card into for about $20 US, then it will mount on the desktop.

Or try to get the pictures using Image Capture which will allow you to download some or all the images and then perform a number of automated actions on them (including Automator actions) to move them to specific directories, rename them etc

On iphoto using the Canon does anyone know how I "eject or unmount" the camera before I plug it out and turn it off? It constantly says BUSY and if you turn if off when its in this state you can damage the Sandisk CFII right?

on my one - 300d - i just switch off the camera and unplug the usb cable. no problems and no warnings.

(using panther, if that makes any difference)
