It's not so much the extra ports or even equal ports that make it useful to me. It's the ability to pop it out of the dock and into my backpack in less than 5 minutes including XP shutdown (which takes longer than anything else) ;-) But to answer your question, here's what I have: Standard I/O ports  Serial, Parallel, Video, two PS/2, four USB, VGA, DVI, S-Video and Audio ports Offers RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectivity Provides workspace flexibility and viewing expandability with flat panel and dual-display support Convenient cable management Easy-to-use cable lock security with latch

Well, almost all cameras in that price range will be of similar build and quality. Most of the parts and internals will made by same OEM companies. All things being equal, buy the one that will be simple to operate for you. Kodak 'easyshare' are made for the "quick click" and go. You can even find bundles that have camera, docks, and printer in the $100-$120s range. If you are looking for simplicity, that is the route I would go. You get a charger, uploader and printer all in one. Z-joe

Okay Its the camera that Iowagirl2006 said.It came with rechargeable batteries.We got it at walmart and the girl that waited on us said she had it and loved it.She said the batteries lasts along time since it was rechargeable.Also she has 2 weeks to take it back if she does not like it.She is going to day and take some flower pics and than go get her dogs and flower pics printed out to see how well they turn out.I was going to buy me a new digital one but am waiting to see how Ash's pics turn out.Thanks so so much for all who answer my post.I truly apprecaite your time.Also we got recharger.Also the lady said it was a step up from the one that was on display.Not sure what was on display other than it was a Kodak.Ashley was looking at them and asked if they had the one on display.The lady looked and said we do not have the camera on display no longer because we want be carrying it no longer.She than pulled this one out and said this is the next one,a step up from the one you wanted.It might have been on sale.The lady said it was a good price for the camera. I perfer Canon.I have a very good digital Canon Digital camera.Greg had gotten Ashley a good Canon flim Camera.he paid right at 800.00 for it.Ashley is very good in taking pics.She has made some great pics using the Canon Camera,blowed them up.I have several framed in my home of a Sunflower,old homes,lakes,birds,animals.She made a pic of a old barn and had it blowed up,gave to someone.They loved it.I have to brag even though she is my daughter but she is so good at this.She was going to go to school to study Photograph but she choice Grooming school.But greg told her she still could do pictures on the side.Someone asked her to take pics of a wedding.But she was not off.Hope I have answer some of the questions.I am not very smart about cameras.Sorry.

I just went outside and made a little video, for some reason I was surprised that it had sound. LOL! You can hear the birds chirping! Cool. The pictures are ok, some were blurry. I haven't figured out how to use the zoom function yet. Test picture: I can see more detail in the up close pictures with this camera than my Kodak...oh, and yes, I meant Canon not Kodak, which is my old camera. It took videos too but I never used it for that. I gave that camera to Alex today. Thanks Iowagirl, I'll go back and print a copy of it to take with me...otherwise I will be lost when I actually go to do it. Thanks Glenda, I'll go check it out.
