DIGITAL CAMERASMost of the following cameras use standard video outputs that work with a variety of computers. Many are TWAIN compliant, a common format of Mac and PC graphics software (used by many scanners). Some use floppies.
Note that we have listed only the highest resolution possible. Some of these cameras have only one resolution; some have several. The number of images you can store depends on whether you use low or high resolution. We have indicated a range in most cases.
AC Adapters, interface cables and docking stations are usually optional extras ranging from $50 to $180.
