Think it's a model specific usb/firewire cable. U get them on digital cameras from the likes of Sony/Sanyo etc.

Some of them break out into componet connections.

Mini usb on my desk looks different.

Mine is the black one

Think mini USB / Mini B is the next one up from that, with the step in the sides.

It's going to either be micro B or micro A-B, Wiki referrs to it as an 8-pin AGOX plug

Google Kodak U-** usb data cable (for easy share)

** - insert 4 or 8 usually.

Should give u results. One u got there looks like a 4.

Those are too smal rast, mine is longer with a very subtle slant at the top.

I just wanna know what its called, so I can get one in the uk!

It looks like the cable that comes with HTC phones?

Thats what the port on my phone looks like http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/modtek...81662877205634

My initial response was that it's a generic cable a la most digicams, PS3 chargers, Creative MP3 players etc. However it clearly is slightly different.

An obvious solution... check the manu's website. Google a review of your camera and it'll mention the connection method. Accept you have to carry it between the house and the shed? (:P)
