Is it possible to download pictures from a Canon A75 directly to a flash
drive? My daughter is going to be traveling overseas and I wanted a way for
her to download pictures from her camera to a flash drive?

Is this possible without an OS?

Thanks

USB needs an OS to run on. Unless you have a device specifically enabled for
this, then the answer is no. There do exist a few devices than can dload the
pictures from a card, butnot straight from a camera.

No, even a device designed to download and store digital images has some
kind of OS.
It is possible without Windows or Linux or Mac. It can be a proprietary
operating system.

There are devices for downloading from the camera and then storing digital
images on a portable device.

The best portable device is a notebook computer. Large hard drive and
built-in USB. You can get international power adapter/chargers for
notebooks.

Check out Image Storage Devices on this page of Staves Digicams.com. Warning
some of the manufacturers are out of business.

I believe the Delkin USB Bridge will do that. Google it.
