Most likely a USB lead or a cheap 30-in-one card reader.

You should have received a USB lead with your camera....very unusual if you didn't.

A cheap USB card reader is a better option anyway, because everytime you upload pictures from your camera, you use a lot of battery power in your camera, but a card reader doesn't use batteries. You can get them cheap from practically anywhere that sells computers.

There are (Correct me if i'm wrong) 4 types of USB lead, one is pretty useless really as it just acts as an extension, then you get the usual type that you plug into a printer which is pretty fat @ the device end and flat at the pc end, there's the small one that goes into phones and small devices such as digi cams and then there's the one that's identical on both ends...

Hope this helps but yeah, check your box cos you shoulda got one supplied with it.

If not, Aldi had a USB connectivity kit in last month for about a tenner. You got all kinds of USB connectors and extensions in a neat little case.
