CABle ConneCtionS
Another popular way to transfer photos is by way of cables. The most popular
connections at the moment are USB 2.0 and Firewire 800 (IEEE 1394b).A dock lets you easily
connect a camera to
a printer or computer
and even charge the
camera’s batteries.
Unfortunately, docks
are camera-model
specific so if you buy
another camera you’ll
need another way to
make your connections.

Almost all cameras
come with a USB or
Firewire (IEEE 1394)
cable that connects it to
a computer or printer.
