My parents are interested in getting an iPod of their own (30 GB), but there's something we're wondering about. I know it's possible to buy something that allows you to transfer pictures from a digital camera straight onto an iPod, but my question is, is it possible to then put the pictures onto a Mac straight from the iPod? Thanks for any input!
Got a tip for us?

it seems to be a good solution.

Hmm.. looks like that might be useful, thanks 
However.. knowing my dad, he'd probably want them to be bigger than 720x480.. I don't suppose the camera connector would be putting the pictures on the iPod as high resolution so they could just be dragged onto the computer?

With the Apple Camera Connector, it allows you to connect your USB camera straight to your iPod, and it will then transfer the pictures onto your iPod.
Once you connect it to your Mac, (be sure it's in Disk Mode), open the mounted image on the desktop and navigate to "Photos" or "Pictures," whatever, and it makes a folder with the date of the roll and you can copy them to your computer.

and with the camera connector, I was able to just open up iPhoto and it transferred in, just like a camera. VERY easy.
