  Kodak and Fuji both make cameras that have available or come with charging stands. Other brands I'm not sure of. You may want to check out dpreview.com and do a features search on what you're looking for.

  HP also has docks for a lot of their cameras.

  Hi Richard. I have a suggestion for a nice camera that meets many of your criteria....except for the docking station. Panasonic FZ5. It has the black and white setting, 5MP, a FANTASTIC 12X optical zoom with a very effective image stabilization. It might be just a tad more than $300 nowadays....I paid $379 for mine several months ago and I know it has come down at certain places.

It has a lens made by Leica, and if you shoot mainly with the lower ISO's the noise is not an issue.

As I stated, it does not have a dock for the camera itself....but it does have a very compact charger with no cord. It just plugs into the wall and is very unobtrusive. The battery life is very good as well. I highly recommend it. I can send you images I've taken with it if you like.

Mark
