[MUSIC] Remember that picture I took of Richard with this digital camera. Well look. All I have to do now is plug it into my computer. And it works with both a PC and a Mac. Choose the image that I want. I think I'll take this one. And I've got a picture in about two minutes. Pretty good shot, huh? And it's really fast. A lot faster than one hour photo.

Most people shoot their pictures with conventional cameras and film.

You just connect the camera to your computer, download the images you want, and voila, you've got pictures.
