Pentax Optio W60: Is this camera supported?

Is this camera supported by iPhoto? I have tried numerous ways to import the photos into iPhoto, although nothing works. Am I missing a driver? The avi. files will not play with quicktime either. Normally you plug in an sd card via usb and away you go, the iPhoto importer opens automatically. This does not happen. Nothing happens. I have saved the jpeg files onto my desktop and dragged them into iPhoto, I get this reply:

"The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the Avilmporter plug-in"

I have even tried to import with image capture, but all it does is safe the jpegs on my desktop.

Help!

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.4)

If the camera shoots jpeg then yes, it is supported.

"The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the Avilmporter plug-in"

Remove the AviImporter plug in. This is usually found in one of two Quicktime Folders:

HD/Library/ Quicktime

or

HD/Users / Your Name / Library / Quicktime

If the avi files you import then do not play, try install Perian

I thought that too. If its a jpeg, all is good, yet, it just will not import it.
After fiddling around with Image Capture, iPhoto now shows the camera in Devices. Although when I go to import I still get the same message.

I have tried to remove the Avilmporter plug in, although its not in the folder. I have downloaded Perian too, although nothing seems to work.

Which folder? I mention two. There's also

HD/ System/ Library / Quicktime

Yes, we load in with a Sandisk SDHC card reader and this shows up as a device which automatically imports when when invoke iPhoto '09.

Unfortunately I'm unaware of how to solve your problem, but the W60 does load in mine with no problems to JPGs and AVIs.
