I'm livid at how stupid the camera reviewers are when they can't even tell me that a cable is proprietary. Not one camera review caught this. Idiots all. I'm so angry at them. I dint not come with a cable, most do, you didnt read the box is yor fault not DPs. Every camera I have came with a cable that worked, so go buy an adaptor or just use a card the reader in you computer. Or return it. You did buy from a reputable retailer that takes returns, right? -- Best regards, John Panasonic DMC-FZ8, DMC-FZ20, and several others |

Maybe because the camera they got came with its own USB cable? Have you thoroughly searched the box? -- Bertrand |

I've never used a direct connection to transfer data on a regular basis. I always found it easier, better, faster and saving on the batteries to use a card reader. |

There are small card readers without a cord, just a usb plug and slot for your card, at least that way you don't have a tangle of cables. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |

While there is a tiny chance of damaging a pin, it is as overexaggerated as the amount of labor involved in maintaining a motorcycle chain. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
