Is an HDMI cable essential?

No, not for me at least. I was able to transfer with USB; the camera has a USB port built into the camera's strap. It comes with the cable you need, and I found this is a much better way to transfer video (again, at least for me). For sure, you will need HDMI if you NEED to view it on a hi def TV before you go to work on it... it really depends on your needs. If you just need to transfer it to your computer you don't need the HDMI cable.

Only if you want to display images from the camera directly from your HD TV.

No you will need a HDMI cable to complete the connection. It is not supplied...

No, it does not. Some advise, don't be fooled into buying "High" quality HDMI cables, they are no better than low cost cables. Amazon has some available in different lengths that are very good, and at a low cost. I have yet to see someone show me that a high quality cable is better, I've never been able to see any difference at all. All the hype is just a way to part you of your hard earned dollars.

You can certainly try it out without doing so, but it wouldn't be a bad idea for the optimum performance with this TV and your peripheral devices. AmazonBasics has a two pack of the current ones for ten dollars - they support the latest formats. The Owner's Manual for this product says that HDMI Certified cables are what you need to use, thus if you're not sure those are the cables you have - might want to buy some newer ones.

Yes, it was the only reason why I bought it. Though the screen may be small. A quick hdmi to a larger screen is fine.

No You will need a micro usb to hdmi mhl adapter. And then you will need to get a HDMI cable that has two of the same size HDMI cable. This one here has a HDMI mini, which you do not need in this case. This is a great cable though. I have a 15' one.

You would need a vga cable and a hdmi cable to use this. If you already have those, you are set.

An HDMI cable is not included, but yes, an HDMI cable is exactly what you'd connect to the female port.

No. Just needs HDMI and you're good to go. Takes some farting around to get it going.

I'm not sure if you have to use a hdmi cable, I think you can use av wires, but you won't get the full HD effect without hdmi.

Yes you can. I can't remember if it comes with an HDMI cable, so you may need to purchase separately.

Nope, but you can pick up a 3 pack of great quality 6 foot HDMI cables here on Amazon that will get the job done for about $14.

It did not come with an HDMI cable, but HDMI cables are pretty inexpensive to come by. The cheap ones work well and are durable.

Yes, you will need that cable. As to which one is the "best one", I can only go by what I've read - that the difference between a moderately-priced cable and an expensive one isn't much.

Hdmi cable is enough. If component way of connection , you will need all 3 color connections ( those wire already provided part of package). Hope it helps.
