No more film.

You can print out pictures. Some camera places will print them to photo paper for $ if you don't have a color printer. But it saves a ton of money either way because you just print out the ones you like.

The camera will come with a cable to plug it into your computer so you do not need to buy a "dock."

You can, though, also buy a little card-reader for whatever type of media the camera uses.

Digital cameras are great. I have a Canon Powershot S50, and it's fabulous. Now I just have to convince a certain bunny to pose - or at least hold still - some time.
