Can somebody tell me if the following negatives
xD Picture Card
and the USB out note it is not a USB 2.
Is USB a big disadvantage compared to a USB 2
in regards how long it takes to transfer from camera
to computer.
Can you solve this if it is a problem by removing
the card from the camera's and using a card reader
to transfer the pictures to the computer

There is a bit of difference between USB 1 and 2 but it wont affect your
ability to transfer pictures. If your PC USB is 1 then the US transfer will
shift down to 1.
You could of course get a USB 2 PCI card added to your computer if you wish
to use usb2.
You can also remove the card from the camera and use a card reader that
supports XD picture cards.
