this cam was made in 1989? how does it compare to my Kodak easy share z710? this p5 cam has a manual focus which might become useful unless it takes ****ty photos?

How many photos can i take with a can of film? Can i reuse the film? or the cans?

How do i get the photos from the film to my computer??!

how far does the zoom go compared to the Kodak? I got a license plate number and the guys face peeking from the side of a truck from an entire block away with the kodak? can the p5 do better or worse?

How fast does it take pictures? ( I would think faster then the Kodak? )

what is a Motor drive? it attaches to the bottom of the p5?

If you mean the Sony DSC-P5. It was launched in September of 2001.

Pentax also made a P5 I think as has some other camera makers.

Who made the P5 you are refering to?

How many photos can i take with a can of film? 12 to 36 exposures, depending on the type of film you use.
Can i reuse the film? No.
or the cans? No.

How do i get the photos from the film to my computer??! Once the film has been developed in a darkroom, scan the negatives, or scan prints.

how far does the zoom go compared to the Kodak? It would depend on the lens that is mounted.
I got a license plate number and the guys face peeking from the side of a truck from an entire block away with the kodak? can the p5 do better or worse? If lenses can be changed, the P5 can do way better than the Kodak.

How fast does it take pictures?
As fast as you can advance the film and rtrigger the shutter.( I would think faster then the Kodak? ) Probably, once you practise a bit.

what is a Motor drive? It advances the film using a motor, instead of you using your thumb on the film advance lever. it attaches to the bottom of the p5?

Yep. If they made one for it.
