Both my Nikon 880 and 5000 models are "on the list" and work as anticipated. I wanted to add one other comment about your suggested reference to the Digital Camera Resource Page. It is one of the most respected digital camera sites on the net and Jeff Keller, the webmaster, is a Mac user who attended MacWorld Expo and wrote an excellent review of iPhoto. This is probably the best single review of iPhoto I've seen, includes various tips, and he has updated it several times. I would also comment that someone trying to save some money by purchasing a used digital camera can still find extensive reviews of many models, now discontinued, on his web site, as well as links to many reviews on the other major digital camera web sites. In the several years I've frequented his site I haven't found a better one about digital photography and it's especially convenient for the Mac user (and Mac OS X user) that Jeff, while also familiar with Windows, prefers the Mac platform by choice. He has extensive information on everything from digital photog software to flash cards, in addition to virtually all of the popular recent and current digital camera models. His forums are among the most popular on the net (50,000+ users) and his links are great. What else can I say? :)

I have a Nikon Coolpix 800 (serial connection) but don't connect the camera to my computers. Instead, I use the compact flash card with either a PCMCIA adaptor card (for my Wallstreet powerbook), or a USB card reader with my wife's dual USB iBook.

The USB card reader I purchased only yesterday. It's an "Acom Data" compact flash USB device. This worked with iPhoto straight out of the box - no drivers etc. I was really pleased. Just plug and play. iPhoto started and I instantly downloaded the photos. The CDRom that it came with (drivers etc.) may be of some use to Windows users or Mac OS 9, but not for OS X.

Since OSX 10.1.2, my PCMCIA card also works with no extra software ("Sandisk PC card adapter"). This was the case with both image capture and now iPhoto. It's goodbye classic (almost)!!!

The USB device also provides an easy way for me to transfer smallish files between the 2 laptops (PCMCIA slot on the wallstreet, USB compact flash reader on the iBook) - essentially like a floppy drive. I have a 64MB card which seems ample currently. Obviously I could go even higher with the compact flash card.

I have two different models of SanDisk flash card readers and OS X 10.1.2 solved my problems with both, altho one worked with 10.0.4 then broke with 10.1.

Also have an OEM flash reader of some kind that came with a Nikon camera bag outfit. Like the two SanDisk USBs it also works, but haven't figured out what "brand" it is.

When in doubt, plug it in and see what happens. :)
