According to one feature of the present invention, a camera is provided that is adapted for data communication with an external device having electrodes, the camera comprises a camera housing defining a port for engaging the external device. Disposed within the housing are an electronic image capture system to provide data; a memory to store the data; a data transfer bus having a plurality of lines for data transfer between the electronic image capture system and the memory, and a plurality of taps with taps connected between respective lines of the data transfer bus and the port to contact selected electrodes when the port and external device are engaged to permit data communication between the external device and the memory. According to another feature of the present invention, a camera data exchange system is provided. The camera data exchange system comprises an external electronic device with an external surface and a plurality of electrodes; a camera housing is provided defining a port adapted to engage the external surface. Disposed within the housing are an electronic image capture system; a memory; and a data transfer bus having a plurality of lines for data transfer between the electronic image capture system and the memory. The external surface and the port are arranged so that the electrodes are connected to selected lines of the data transfer bus when the port engages the external surface of the connector to permit data communication between the external device and the memory.
