[Superman]

I need a digital camera. I have access to an older one, or I can buy a new one. Either way, I need information about how they work.

The one I have used is a dinosaur (Fujifilm S3000 3.2mp 6X zoom, is bulky like a small SLR), and I have no cabling for it. The only way I know to get pics onto a computer is to take the card out of the camera, feed it into the processing maching at COSTCO and have a disk made. Inconvenient.

I imagine that digital cameras can load pics directly onto a computer. But I imagine that I need the proper cabling for that camera.....and perhaps some software on the computer.

Perhaps I could source the proper cabling, etc., to plug this dinosaur into a computer. Otherwise, I'll just get a new camera. But in either case, I need to understand how to transfer pics from camera to computer, and a list of the stuff (software and cabling, for example) I will need.

How do these darned things work, anyway?
