[/quote]
Digital camera's today use a removable media of some type Smart media card, Compact Flash and Sony's memory stick (some of the older Sony's actually use a 3 1/2 floppy). There are three main ways to get the data from the cameras memory cards to your PC hard drive.
1) Almost camera's today come with a USB cable that you plug one end into your PC and the other into the camera. some you have to use a special software package (supplied by the camera manufacturer) to copy them from the camera to the PC. Some actually allow you to use the windows file manger and act as a hard drive.
2) You can buy a card reader that you hook up Via a USB cable. The card readers are cheap and they basically function like a removable hard drive. It will appear under your windows explorer as the next available drive letter C,D,E.. You just take the memory card out of the camera and slide it into the reader and copy files as you would if they were on your C: drive.
3) the Sony's and some of the others actually have an optional special floppy disk that accepts the media from your camera. You just place the memory stick inside the special floppy and place it in your 3 1/2 drive. You then copy the files off as you would normal files.
