well i've never had that problem really. if they wanted to give me the pics then there are other ways of getting them. that and i always take my usb cable with me for any of my cameras so it's not a big deal/problem. most of the digicams i've seen use a pretty standard usb cable.

For $4.99 you can't go wrong. If you live by a Fry's head over there and save on shipping .

I have a 9-1 I picked up for about 5 bucks or so. They are all pretty much the same thing and read the same way so any one you get should be just fine.

That is exactly what I did and it works just fine for me.

I can only suggest based on personal experience.
