Anything that takes a CompactFlash disk (there's another kind of disk, 
too that I can't remember).  You can buy a USB-port reader for about 
$30 and mount it like a hard disk and read the pictures as jpegs so you 
don't need fancy software like jphoto.  I have a Canon S110 but again, 
that doesn't matter if you just get the memory card reader.  There are 
even readers that will take both kinds of memory card.  Check SanDisk 
and Dazzle.
