Has anyone managed to conect this camera to a windows7 OS using supplied software and a USB lead?

If so how?

Hi redheugh and welcome.

Sadly, the USB connection is not supported by Vista or Windows 7. No working USB driver is available.

The usual method of transfer with Windows 7 is to use an iLink cable (DV, firewire), and import using Windows 7 compatible software - Windows Movie Maker works OK. Firewire is supported generically by Windows and no drivers are required.

This depends on you having an iLink/firewire port on your Windows 7 PC - or at least an ExpressCard Slot or PC Card Slot which will take a firewire card.
