I'd try checking with Sony to see if you're missing some setting here or there. I use Olympus cameras, and on those ones you usually have to turn the camera on, then select "PC" from the menu that pops up on the camera. If I had to bet, I'd say it was just a setting on your camera that needs to be switched. Sony's website should have a manual online for your camera.

Not surprised that your friend's Canon works fine... Canons are known for being pretty trouble-free in my experience

Hmmm....I dont think I have that option when i connect it. Also, I can view photos in the inbuilt memory in my computer, but i cant view the memory card.

It seems that the a small outer portion of the memory card was broken...And hence it was not read by my camera...However, on asking about why it worked in the canon camera, he told me that the socket of that camera must be tight...and hence it worked in that camera...

Anyways, the memory card was on warranty, so i applied for it...Will get the new one next week.....

Thanks for the help guys....
