Does anyone know where I can find a drive for my Fuifilm A170 digital camera.?

I have had this camera for about ten years and have lost the disc with the drive on it. It's obviously an out of date model.

    What do you need the CD for? If you only need that to copy pictures from the camera to the computer then you don't need it. Just use a USB card reader to connect the camera's memory card directly to the computer's USB slot then use Windows/File Explorer/Manager or (Mac) Finder to do the copying.

    Why? I've been using digital cameras since 1999. I haven't used camera software since 2003, when I bought my first card reader.

    Most OSes have all of the drivers for these cameras already built in. If however, your OS doesn't, then just get a USB card reader. Using a reader can be up to 10x faster than using the camera. Most cameras use USB2.0, but if your computer has a USB3.0 port, then get a USB3.0 memory card reader. In addition to the faster performance, you won't ever have to worry about drivers, and you'll have far less connectivity issue.

    Even if your camera was brand new, you'd still want to avoid downloading directly from the camera. Just get a card reader.

    It needs a basic SD card, and you can take pics off this via a USB card reader. Your PC probably has one. Photos are in DCIM folder, so drag and drop in a new folder. Edit with the free GIMP program or more basic Irfanview which you can download quickly.
