[P1] scanner advice

[Chris Hood]

Another thing to consider (if you're buying your camera from a brick 
and mortar store) would be to ask your salesman if you can bring in 
your laptop just to test things out.

I've never run into a salesperson yet that has had a problem with it. 
Usually I'll get some line about drivers this and software that, but 
after explaining that I'm on a Mac and just want to see if it'll work 
they're OK with it. Of course probably while I'm en route to get my 
book, they're reading the box to check compatibility and saying nasty 
stuff about Macs, but it's always amusing to see their reactions when I 
plug it in and everything works perfectly.

Removable memory cards are a definite must have!
