It doesn't strike you as deceptive that both Casio listed a tremendous
amount of detail in that referenced web site for the other components yet
listed something as critical as a non-standard interface using standard
language?

Calling this Casio-proprietary port USB or USB/AV (when it comes with both
USB and AV cables) is wrong.

Casio should have called it "Proprietary USB/AV" or "Casio port" or
whatever that port is officially called.

BTW, does anyone know what the official name of the Casio proprietary
camera port is called?

I didn't write that. Be more careful when quoting (in addition to when
buying).

Nope. It's common throughout the industry, for the reason I've already
explained.

USB and AV cables) is wrong.


Nope. It is a standard USB port even though the connector is
non-standard. The supplied cable works with any standard USB connector.

Casio should have called it "Proprietary USB/AV" or "Casio port" or
whatever that port is officially called.


To make you happy? Would you have been happier if the cable were
permanently connected to the camera, eliminating the connector you don't
like?

camera port is called?


USB/AV Connector, just as it says.
