    The 60GB iPod photo has:

    Smaller Screen

    Thicker

    No Video

    and I think less battery life



    But I think that the 60GB photo comes with a power adapter and it can also use firewire if you want.



    Hope this helps.

    I would highly consider getting the iPod with video over the iPod Photo.

    The iPod photo does have firewire capability. This is really only useful if you don't have USB 2.0 ports available and/or you want to be able to use it as a boot drive.



    It almost certainly doesn't come with a power adapter. I think the 20/40GB photos were the last to offer that.

    I think at least the oldest (fall '04) 60GB iPod photos had the power adapter, the ones that were US$549 or US$599. It might have been taken out when it was repriced to $399.
