Canon Digital Camera for MacBook

I just purchased a Canon digital Camera. If I install the software for the camera it looks like it will download Canon's ImageBrowser as the default program and on my VAIO it will install ZoomBrowser. My question is there are lots of really good programs for managing photos so will I be able to change to say Picasa or Snapfish without too much hassle or will the default programs mess it up. Thanks for any help

I personally use the built in iPhoto. It's a great way to organize your photos and it's ridiculously simple to use.

I use Canon Cameras and have never used their software. I use iPhoto and Photoshop Elements. I also use a card reader, so have no need for camera software.

I have use a Canon SD450 and a Powershot S3 with iPhoto and never have had to use the included software.
