   It has a removable SD memory card. I bought a 256 MB card at the same time 
as the camera.
A card reader is an option, I agree.  I may consider looking at a 
multi-function printer/scanner with a built-in card reader at some stage.

    But simply booting SW9.1 is by far the easiest way of getting the photos 
and movies off the camera and onto a hard drive.
