Portable docks are provided for use with a camera having a camera memory and a camera power supply. A dock has a dock memory, a dock power supply with sufficient power so that the camera power supply can be charged with at least sufficient power to enable the camera to perform completely at least one additional camera function, and an electrical connector adapted to engage a mating camera connector for data communication and power exchange therethrough. A control system enables the transfer of image related data between the camera memory and the dock memory. The dock memory, power supply, electrical connector, and control system are held by a body adapted to receive the camera so that the camera connector can engage the electrical connector.

An apparatus () for processing media contains microcapsules () which contain a first segmented rupturing roller () having multiple roller segments. A second segmented rupturing roller () has multiple roller segments. The roller segments on the first segmented rupturing roller are offset from roller segments on the second rupturing roller. The multiple roller segments rupture unexposed microcapsules () in the media.
