I have a Nikon Coolpix 885 that works for this.
I download the photos with the included USB cord directly
from the camera to a 7600 with Sonnet Tango USB/FW card
and OS 8.6.
Nikon software takes care of the transfer seamlessly.
"iView" was bundled with the camera, a nice cataloging
program--this works with 8.6 if you download Carbon and
add it to your system. 

You can use Photoshop of course if you want to, or
any other image editing program. I recently tried the
shareware program "ImageBuddy" which allows you to group
and print photos without any fussing. http://www.kepmad.com

One thing I like about the way the camera connects
is that it mounts automatically like a hard drive on
the desktop. So if I'm in a hurry to grab a picture,
I can bypass the "transfer" and cataloging process and
just drag the file out of there. 

HTH,
Anna
