    Vista should be fine with both of those gadgets... Printers/scanners are a bigger danger with vista, because they either work or they don't. Camera's can still be picked up as external hard disks (so you can take photos off them easily - just the software might not work).

    As a last resort you could always buy an OEM copy of XP (Pro or Home Ed) and install that instead.
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so...

    Dell still list XP as being available if you look in their small business section or in the Outlet. If you have a decent monitor then there are some nice Dimension's to be found in the outlet with Windows XP.
