That's just for connecting the camera tothe computer (which I never do).
Get yourself a card reader, and it's basically a mute distinction.

Find a USB card reader that works under OS9 (I remember using a USB CF
reader on an OS9 machine, so I know that they exist; I don't know
whether a new reader would work or whether you would need OS9 drivers),
and then you can use whatever camera you want.

Until you start trying to use a camera with RAW files. Not many OS9 RAW file
readers out there.

??
RAW conversion is software based. Are you saying that the RAW conversion
program won't run on OS9?
Wow.

Most won't. OS-9 predates wide use of most of the latest RAW formats. I don't
believe the latest Adobe RAW converters run on OS-9, for example. Sure, if
you have an older camera and Photoshop for OS-9, then why not? But I would
genuinely like to see how anyone would use OS-9 to view Nikon D80 RAW files.
