Download Photos From EOS REBEL XSi to My Mac

I have been told that my camera (EOS Rebel Xsi is no longer supported by Canon. EOS Utility software does not exist for MacOS 13.1 (Ventura). However, I want to download photos from EOS Rebel Xsi WITHOUT using canon software (it doesn't exit for my computer) to my computer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Does your Mac have a built-in SD card reader? If not, such readers are inexpensive and typically the best method to transfer photos to your computer.

Thank you for your reply. I honestly don't think so. I will look into the card reader. Any suggestions?

SanDisk is one brand you could go with. Be sure though to choose a connector that will work with your computer.

e.g. SanDisk has a "SanDisk Extreme Pro SD Card USB Type-C Reader" product (manufacturer part #: SDDR-409-A46) that connects via USB-C. If your Mac doesn't have USB-C, but older USB ports, you could use their "SanDisk UHS-I SD Card Reader" product instead (manufacturer part #: SDDR-C531-ANANN)

While most folks here will recommend the use of a card reader (as Ricky did), you can also use the Mac software Image Capture.

Ricky,

I thought I would close the loop. Your suggestion to use a card reader worked perfectly. Thank you for your help.
