None of them uses micro or any other standard USB socket. They all have proprietary connectors.

Large buttons and simple operation is key, the youngest of users don't need multiple shooting modes, extensive editing, and manual controls for focusing, lighting and so forth.

I just want to avoid bringing several cables, and I would by no mean buy another camera with a non-standard port. Now, since there are really many models available for buying, having a standard port (preferably Micro-USB, Mini-USB acceptable) is just one criteria that can help me reduce choosing among a more human number of models. Just like requiring non-locked digital books, on another topic.

They have a nice lanyard to attach to your existing cables of choice. I don't know what you would be carrying, but in a bag with other cables and chargers etc already present I like 'em OK. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BBJNHK/ Sacrificing, say, picture quality for the sake of a connector seems like a poor tradeoff; if I want crappy pictures, I'll use my cellphone. If I'm carrying a camera it's because I think photos will be SRS BZNS and one adapter is epsilon.

That impression changed after a couple of almost new Mini-USB connectors started getting loose very soon while none of my Micro-USB suffered from any contact problems ever.

Mini-USB is still far better than a proprietary connector anyway!

It also works perfectly well with shotwell.

Everything else I have uses miniusb or usb a or b. Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:24:00 +0000 Blars
