>The dock is how you connect the camera to the computer. I use a USB cable to connect and upload pictures to my hard drive. I could also buy a dock that you set the camera in that does the same thing and usually more.

> I would encourage getting rechargeables. I use Energizer AAs and charge one set while using another. It will be an initial upfront cost but digital cameras go through standard batteries really fast, especially if you are using the flash and the monitor a lot. The rechargeables are made to last longer in the camera and in lifetime use.

You can get digital cameras (like mine) that you recharge by setting them in a dock and plugging the dock into a wall outlet. No dealing with batteries required.
