Digital Camera Magazine, January 1999:

"Cameraid is a very useful piece of Mac shareware that has some functions not found anywhere else. And since it's small, it runs well even on ancient Macintoshes."

eMediaWeekly, 02-01-1999:

This was their last issue and they failed to send me a copy, so no quote is available.

MacFormat, summer 1998:

Notice sent by a user: "Good review in MacFormat"

Review in "About This Particular Macintosh"

"This is a program you do not want to be without if you use digital cameras more than once a year. I wholeheartedly recommend it; it is simply excellent."

 

Review in MacObserver:

"The robust connectivity features alone make Cameraid worth the price. The advanced transform, batch, grading and HTML features may make this the only tool you'll need to extract and manipulate your pictures. "

08/25/98 - Power Macintosh G3: Tips for Downloading Images from Olympus Cameras

 

www.macfixit.com special report:

http://www.macfixit.com/reports/cameras.shtml
summer 1998, before a major feature update to version 1.1:

"Use Cameraid - Get the shareware program Cameraid; it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the Olympus utility, but it downloads and erases images much faster than Olympus' own software, and is a lot more reliable on connection."

 

Keyspan's president, Mike Ridenhour on www.macintouch.com:

"We have found Juri Munkki's Cameraid shareware software to be quite valuable (and his knowledge of cameras has also been useful)."

Nikon Europe:

http://www.nikon-euro.com
Can I use iMac and G3 computers with the E-700, E-900 and E-950?

French & German version of the page are available, so this is a loose translation: Nikon Europe unofficially advises that Cameraid may be used to access the images in the camera. Nikon's own software is currently incompatible with machines without built-in serial ports.

Dave Etchells of www.imaging-resource.com

(extract from E-mail):

"Great program - You more than deserve my $15...

Really appreciate what you're doing to advance the interests of the community!"

 

Mac Smart - Douglas Matheson:

"Cameraid works great with the Olympus ... you can't beat the price."

 

Settimio Perlini of MacProf (Italy):

http://www.macprof.com

"I have mentioned your software several times in my pages since I think it is an invaluable resource for serious Mac users with a camera...."

"...Cameraid 1.1.1 la fantastica applicazione shareware.."

 

Software Snifffer:

http://www.macinsearch.com/users/snifffer/sniffer-ingl.html

"Here there is the best digital photography utility program for the Macintosh."

 

Internet newsgroup article extracts (from Dejanews)

"Cameraid is fabulous! It will save me hours and hours! Why oh why didn't I learn about it sooner?"

"I found a shareware program (on MacAddict's next to latest CD, I think) called Cameraid, it had a lot of good info in it's manual about transfer rates between camera and computer and how to use the program to establish the proper transfer rate. It was a lot more helpful than Olympus' utility program."

"I just registered Cameraid, and the only thing I use it for is batch thumbnail generation (I have the CD-10 card reader). Totally worth $15, esp if you have 100+ Thanksgiving pictures to go through... :)"
