So you've taken some great photographs. Now it's time
to get your pictures out of the camera, and there are
several ways transfer image files to your computer.
The most common is via a cable that hooks into the
USB or Firewire port of your computer. Cameras come
with software that lets a computer "talk"
with the camera and retrieve pictures.
Another way to get images into your computer is via
a card reader.
A card reader is a small external or internal device
that accepts your memory card. Card
readers can transfer photos at speeds up to 1MB/second
- many times faster than transferring from your camera.
You can also use adaptors, which let you insert memory
cards into your computer's floppy drive.
