Serial Port
Computer component: Serial Ports are used to communicate with external devices such as modems and mice. They tend to be much slower than USB and Firewire so are generally not used to transfer large sizes of data.

serial port
A port for connecting devices (i.e. computers, cameras, scanners, printers) using a serial cable. A serial port transfers data approximately 40 times slower than a USB connection.
Serial port. A very slow port on the computer used mainly by modems. Many digital cameras come equipped with cable to download images through this port but it’s slow! Both parallel and USB ports are faster connections.
Serial port - A port that enables you to connect external devices such as digital cameras and modems to your computer. A serial connection is a slow method of downloading images from a camera to a computer.
Serial Port
Standard, but extremely slow, connection port found on most computers. Also called RS-232.

Serial Port
A port, or interface, that can be used for serial communication in which only 1 bit is transmitted at a time. Most serial ports on personal computers conform to the RS-232C or RS-422 standards.
Standard Serial Port on most PC computers. The majority of post-2001 digicams don't have this type of connection any more - it's too slow compared to USB.

A port on the computer that is faster than a serial port but slower than SCSI, USB, or IEEE 1394 ports. Often used by printers and flash card readers.
Parallel runways:
Runways that are the same distance apart from each other at all points.
Early cameras used the PC serial port. USB is now the most widely used method (most cameras are viewable as USB mass storage), though some have a FireWire port. Some cameras use USB PTP mode for connection instead of USB MSC; some offer both modes.
Anyone ever owned software that required you sacrifice a printer or serial port for dongle that later caused conflicts with other applications? Now that was bad.
The USB standard supports data transfer rates of 12Mbps (million bits per second), a vast improvement over the serial port standard it is beginning to replace.
Download. Term used for the transference of image data from the camera to your computer. Can be done via a serial port or the faster USB port. Downloads can also be done via Bluetooth or Infra-red without the need for cables.
Many digital cameras and memory card readers connect to a computer via USB ports. USB card readers are typically faster than cameras or readers that connect to a serial port, but slower than those that connect via FireWire.
