SCSI on a Digital Camera ? /* I doubt that severely ! */

What camera make and model ?

Digital cameras use USB as a standard connection. Older models used serial ports.

The *best* way to download the pictures off a digital camera is NOT to connect the camera to
the PC. Get a USB or FireWire memory card reader capable of using the memory cards found in
your camera. Then you just remove the memory card from the camera na dinsert it into the
memory card reader. The memory card reader appears as a drive letter such as "K:". One of
the reasons this is better is that you don't waste the batteries of the camera where most
camera need to be turned on to access the pictures on the camera. Another advantage is that
you will find that a USB v2.0 or FireWire Memory Card Reader will download the pictures
faster than when the mermory card is in the camera.

I personally use a SanDisk 6-in-1 USB 2.0 Memory Card Reader for the Compact Flash cards of
my Canon Digital Rebel and the SmartMedia of my parents Olympus.
