My first digital camera had a serial port to get pictures off it. There weren't any USB ports on my computer to plug a card reader into, not that you could buy a cheap CF->USB adaptor in those days.

I actually used to use IrDA to get stuff off it instead. You just put the camera in PC mode and left it on the desk pointing at the screen which had a little IrDA port stuck underneath.
