Why don't camera reviews cover the data connection to the PC?

The reason for the non-standard connector is that many digital cameras (not just this one) use a tiny 8 pin connector that combines USB with video and audio out. If standard Mini-USB or Micro-USB were used (which themselves are different), another cable would be needed for AV Hi John, This is a great post of yours that provides wonderful new relevant information! What you're informing us is that there is no way Casio could have made a single port handle the USB and AV functions if they used the mini-usb or micro-usb standards. This is extremely useful information. Thank you. This makes sense. What this then means is that any camera with a combined AV/USB port, by the very definition, MUST be using a proprietary connector! Together, we're now starting to understand the problem (better than the major reviewers did, anyway). It would be interesting to figure out whether Casio is the only camera manufacturer using a combined AV/USB port. Does anyone out there have a camera with a combined AV/USB port? |
