I've been using a Kodak DC3400 for a little while now, and it has a
regular Mac-type serial port.  Unfortunately for me, the software
provided needs a powerpc- so I got a scsi compact flash reader.

They have them in the reconditioned department of the Kodak online
store for $250, as well as a 1.0Mpixel for $150-- the DC215 also
speaks Mac serial.

It looks like the DC5000 can also use a serial port, and it looks a
little more rugged than the 3400-- I'd go for that one.

Another option is to get a compact flash based camera and use a pcmcia
adapter-- the 5300 has pcmcia, doesn't it?  They're about $10.
