    Hi
    I have USB1 on my computer, I was thinking of buying a camera, when reading the camera specs I noticed it had a USB2 interface. My question is
    "could I use this with my computer "?
    Thanks
    Lewis

    Yes it'll work. Transfering pics from the camera will just be slower than if the pc had usb2.

    ...or get and install a usb 2.0 pci card. You can buy a 4 port card for about 20-30 bucks. And while you're at it, grab an "all in one" card reader for about 15 bucks. (saves camera battery life)

    USB2 ports

    TonyT's point about a 4-port USB is good advice, but surely they are much cheaper. I just bought (UK) a 4-port for £5 (10 dollars or so?). however, a camera (not a camcorder) will definitely be ok with a USB1.1.:)
