Apple firewire digital camera - **CONFIRMED**
Ok, I know I'm a bit new to this site and shouldn't be using priveliged words like **CONFIRMED** already, but this was on the site for apple's new ad campaign.
<a href="http://www.apple.com/switch/questions/" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/switch/questions/</a>
"10. Can I use my Digital Camera?
With built-in ability to automatically recognize your USB or FireWire camera, Mac OS X and iPhoto let you easily manage your digital images."
Gee. I know there are some digital camcorders with firewire, but I don't think any presently shipping digital camera uses firewire yet. Is this an accidental hint at a future device?

For f u c k's sake, they've been "accidentally hinting" at this since essentially the same phrase was included in the readme for the10.1.3 update (better support for firewire digital cameras), you think they'd catch that accident by now. Either that, or it's not an accidental hint, you've just overlooked the fact that, yes, digital cameras with firewire do currently exist, however rare.
Somebody get the moon rocks, this kids in for a spanking.
