Does any one have a Minolta Dimage Camera

[Mr.Guvernment]

Hey


Specifically a Minolta DiMage 5 - the owner of the camera lost the install cd which comes with the software needed to read the RAW images files- Minolta has been useless in helping me!!!! and just keeps saying to call them which i do and then i can not get through to anyone!

So, does any one have the Dimage Software cd and could possible let me grab the software needed?

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

helppppppp

My sister has the Minolta Dimage F100. Presumably the software is the same for most of the models.

And you should be able to download it from here

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

they dont have it form there, they only have the updates - i need the full software , thnx though.

Yep looks like they have it for download on there site. It is weird that a customer service rep would not have pointed that out

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

u can't download it from their site?

those 2 downloada are firmware and an update for the software, but not the whole thing......... or am i going blind?

Digital camera
Dimage 5
Windows XP

02/10/2003 DiMAGE Viewer Update Ver 2.1.1 - Win 3.08 MB
10/02/2002 DiMAGE 5 Firmware Update - Win 668 KB


is all they have the 3.08mb is only an update, not the full software

Looks like you are sol. I would write them an email and see where that gets you

If you do not have a full version of the OPTIONAL DiMAGE Viewer 2.0, it can be purchased through Minolta’s on-line store.

i had emailed them, they then emailed me saying please call us - i called them and all i got were answering machines and no one got back to me.

is like - the camera was paid for, and now u would make your customers pay AGAIN for software that was included in the first place..

i ahd been considering buying a minolta 7 myself, as this 5 is my friend i live with - but with support like there's that i have experienced so far, no minolta 7 for me!

If they said to call and you could not get to a person just email them back and tell them that. They should be able to help.
