I purchased the Canon Power Shot SD1400 IS and also added this USB Power Cord. Did I really need it, or could I use the computer to download my Pix?

yes you need it. the end that plugs into the camera is slightly larger than the generic one. the generic one is too small, stinks huh.

I have the USB power cord, and don't regret it for a minute. The alternative for me would be taking the memory card out and plugging it into my computer. It's not that easy to access.

The USB connection on the camera is a common USB port. The USB port on this camera is a standard mini-USB connection. This cable is compatible with the Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS.

You use the USB cable that comes with the camera. Once connected to your computer, the S01 will automatically begin charging. You can download your photos using just about any photo software. Easy!

Use your cable to transfer pix. To Using your cable plugged into computer and camera download the pix. to computer. Put a disk in comp. and download pix to disk. At least this is what i do.

I can confirm that my camera came with a USB cord. I don't have the box nor the notice with me with me but you should check as some time the list of items is indicated.

Yes, USB cord is needed. Should have come with one. Plug camera to Computer, then turn on camera. computer should pick it up, and ask you if you want to transfer pictures.

No, it doesn't come with the USB Cord. Last Saturday, I bought me the Canon PowerShot ELPH 115 IS Camera from Best Buy. The items included with the camera was the Ion Battery, Battery Charger, and the Wrist Strap. No USB Cord was included. You have to buy a SD Memory Card (probably 16GB would be the best) to take pictures and record videos. Once your pictures is stored on the Memory Card, you'll be able to transfer your pictures to your computer. That's what I have a 16GB SD Memory Card. Hope I was a good help to you.

Do not listen to D. Fox, the first 3 answers are correct on what you want to do. You do NOT need the USB cable which goes from your camera to your USB port in the computer. Just plug your memory card into the cardreader and then plug the card reader into your USB port, and you are ready to download your pictures into your computer.You can use a USB cable but that will defeat the purpose of the card reader.

Absolutely Robert. I do have this camera now, using the usb cord takes forever, just pick up a card reader. Much faster.

Yep just charged it off my laptop USB port this morning. Take a standard micro USB plug. Great camera. Just love it.

I bought this patch cord only to download photos from my Alpha D-SLR, however, looking at the description . . . tucked into part of the description is . . . *For USB Image Transfer Only this cable suits: Cybershot DSC-S650, DSC-S700, DSC-S730, DSC-S750, DSC-S780, DSC-S800, DSC-S950, DSC-S2000, DSC-S2100, DSC-TF1, DSC-W180, DSC-W190, DSC-W310, DSC-W320, DSC-W330, DSC-W370, DSC-W520, DSC-W530, DSC-W550, DSC-W610, DSC-W620, DSC-W630, DSC-W650, DSC-W670, DSC-W690, DSC-W710, DSC-W730, DSC-W800, DSC-W810, DSC-W830 Cyber-shot Digital Cameras. So, if your camera is one of those listed above then you weren't doing anything wrong, it's just that the camera may not be charge capable via USB. You may have to look for an external battery charger. Good luck. Ron

As for the previous answer. If it was made to work without a PC then that's it's own answer. You won't need a PC. If you can still get the paper/ink (which I can't in the UK) use it. If not then just use it to charge your camera and use a card reader or connect the camera to the PC to see and print your pics. If no PC (or Mac) then just take the card to a local 'lab'.

Go online to Canon Image Browser Ex Gateway. Go online to Power Shot Camera User Guide entering your Model No. You must have a USB cable to do this. These programs walk you through it. You have to use and enter the CD rom disc first.

You need a USB cable. You can buy them at any electronics store - Amazon and Walmart included. There are different lengths and they are not usually included with new printers anymore. You want a cable long enough to reach from where the printer sits to one of the USB ports on the front or back of your computer. Once you plug in the power cable for the printer and the USB cable, then turn the printer on, hopefully, your computer will detect the new hardware automatically and load the appropriate printer driver. If not you should be able to download the driver for your Operating System (Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc.) at this link: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp500#DriversAndSoftware If the link doesn't come through, just go to canon.com - click on Support and select the appropriate location, operating system, etc. You will be looking for Support and Drivers. I hope this helps.

Yep, same answer as the others. The computer will power the camera. An alternate solution that I like(because I don't like storing or carrying cables) is to get a micro SD to SD card converter, which you can then insert directly into the computer.

Yes a USB cord is included. But, the memory card is NOT INCLUDED. You can only take one (1) photograph with the camera. You absolutely need to purchase a memory card. I found this out the hard way =( Other then the zero internal memory, the camera works great. My teenage daughter loves it.

That isnt a USB port, its a PICTBRIDGE port. a few years ago, there was a push for an industry standard port for cameras and pic phones mainly to allow mobile print booths and drugstores to always be able to connect to anyones devices without a PC specialist and a box of cables or a 50 in 1 card reader. So they created PICTBRIDGE. what they didnt realize was, its basically a dedicated 1 function USB port, but if theyd simply made USB the standard and included driver instructions onm the devices to connect to PC or MAC, they woulda been fine anyway. the PB port connects to the included cable (optional on some units) and when detected, the printer and camera "sync" and you can start printing even without a PC using the camera or printer screen(If it has one) as the controller. Alas, most PB ports from canon are ONLY PB. Some other printer brands that have included the PB port also allow it to function more like a real USB and you can connect a flashdrive to it, though generally they are never fully a USB and even the flexible ones wont support a card reader or a wireless network adapter or a modem. Use it for what it is intended for. If not, USB hubs for the PC are very cheap
