You would not be able to use the Docking feature with the Sony or Nikon if they are D-SLRs. The printer can be used with or without a computer and is compatible with IMAGELINK Print System compatible products and with PictBridge-enabled digital cameras.

Error 1302 sometimes refers to a lens error. The lens may not be extending or retracting all the way. Take it to your nearest BestBuy and let the Geek Squad take a look. They will advice you what can be done.

Hey, our performance service plans do not cover lost or stolen cameras, but most homeowners/rental insurance does. If the camera was stolen out of your car most auto insurance would cover the theft. As far as coverage on a broken screen our basic performance service plan would not cover the damage to the camera, but you may have purchased our Accidental Damage and Handling plan when you purchased the camera, and that would cover the damage you are referring to as long as it was caused during normal use of the camera. Please check your receipt to verify which form of coverage you have purchased.

A Digital-SLR would be best. It gives you the most control over the image. It will have the fastest shutter release time so you wont miss the action. Unlimited zoom with interchangeable lenses. Battery life is longer on D-SLR's. Plus there is the Burst Mode that allows you to do sequential shots. Higher shutter speeds to FREEZE the action.
There are several models from Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Sony that would be perfect. Stop by your nearest BestBuy and take a look.
