Guess I wasn't thinking about the D50, but if a camera properly suited for such a connection were to be used in the proximity of a laptop? Those shots made on the train probably didn't leave much PS time prior to its return. At that, emailing the image files of a size sufficient to print a quality 6x8 MAY have been problematic. The train stopped for several minutes at the end of the trip away from the station (engine was re-attached to the rear of the train to pull us home) and my guess is, the photog was met by a fast car and jetted back to deliver the memory card(s) to the PS person. Was interesting to speculate about the logistics.
