Since I don't have either of those cameras, I don't have a definitive
answer for you, but have you considered just using a card reader? These
little usb devices are inexpensive (mine was around $30) and easy to
use - basically you just plug them into a usb port and Windows sees
them as a removable drive. Just be sure the one you buy is compatible
with the type of memory card in your camera.
