"your Name" like to argue just for the sake of it. This one is a prime
example of the "glass half empty" syndrome...

Well exactly, and I have been doing similar with my Canon, except I 
try not to let it go near the labyrinths of iPhoto! Nor the supplied 
with camera Canon software. Not that they are bad. More that I just 
need to get hold of the pics, I have my own ways to handle them. I use 
the relatively simple (Apple) Image Capture. 

For my Sony, it is even better! As I have said, it just appears as a 
disk on the desktop on connection, that is almost heaven for me... 
almost because I have to connect the cable (a rather ungainly piece of 
work that came with the camera - it has multi function things on it to 
enable TV connections, AV and that sort of thing...), at least it is 
easy enough to find, being only able to be confused with the 
blunderbuss charging cable with its power brick!

A small camera with wifi to make the memory appear as a disk on a 
desktop would be the ideal. I have not been able to ascertain whether 
this is exactly obtainable, I would bet against it if I had to punt.
