The camera comes with a smart media card (that is what the pictures are stored on), batteries, strap and cables to hook it up to a Macintosh or PC. I purchased 3 filters for the camera and an adapter ring to insure the filters don't get in the way. While in port, I found the AC adapter useful and the PCMCIA card is handy in eliminating the need to restart your computer in order to plug in the connecting cable.

My first computer was an Amiga and I used it for adding titles to some of my video productions. As I became more involved with video, I was introduced to AVID. A Macintosh based operation, AVID is an industry standard for editing nonlinear video. I've been a Macintosh person ever since. I took with me my Macintosh PowerBook 3400c. This computer came stock with a 12x CD-ROM, 1.3 gigabytes and a built in modem. As an incentive, Macintosh offered a Kritter Cam for low-resolution video and discounted prices for extra batteries. I took advantage of that offer. I replaced the hard drive with 5 gigabytes installed professionally by Tekserve (whom I highly recommend for any Macintosh fix) and maxed-out the RAM to 128 megabytes. I also purchased an internal VST Zip drive to backup all my files.
