The photos are shot on regular 3.5 diskettes and you can see the pictures right after you take them. The is no issue of software availablility as the pictures are "printed" as jpeg files. You view the pictures on the built in screen or on your home computer. If you have a program like PMView, you can print them out on a color printer using glossy paper and have hardcopy photos. hth, Gilbert --
