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. pook la roux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I'm just getting into digital photography, and I was > thinking I might as well buy a camera I could use with > the 5300.
