    I cant seem to find my usb cord for my digital camera and i have so many pictures i need to get off of it. Now it is and older camera by todays standards but it works well. Can i run to office depot and pick up a new cord for it of do i have to go somewhere else for it ? and if so where do i go to get a new cord ?

    Personally, I would call them first to verify it.

    Another option, if your camera has a removal flash memory card, is to buy a card reader. Make sure it will read the type of card that is in your camera. they're not universal. Some will read more than one type of card, but I haven't seen any that will read every kind that is out there. Especially as you have an older camera.
     
    Cerberus Thanks this.

    Funny you say that Dilbert. I went to radio shack yesterday to get the uSB cord and i got talking to the salesperson and he mentioned it. The cord was $22 and the card reader was only $12 and it doesnt eat up the camera battery while i download pictures. I picked it up and used it to download the pictures i just posted around here. It works perfectly.

    That's the way I go. My laptop has an on board card reader and it's quicker to pop the card out of the camera and into the computer.
