You have to use THEIR cable to use with THEIR camera. "Canon" doesn't give a model so no one else can check what connector style that model uses. You could compare the camera cable or the camera port to see if it matches the pics above for the micro, mini, and type C USB connectors or if whatever model you have uses a proprietary cable. That's truly obnoxious. Cameras travel--we want a minimum of gear. There shouldn't be extra cables in my bag just because some manufacturer wants to sell more cables rather than use something standard. I have an older Canon PowerShot SD700IS (purchased over 10 years ago) and it uses a standard mini-USB connection, so it's not ALL Canon's. Maybe the newer or really older ones use proprietary ports? Don't know about them. Yeah, I have a several-years-old small Canon, it uses a **mini**-USB, not a **micro**-USB. The micro-USB killed the mini-USB but the mini came first, there are devices out there that use it. |

By in far over sheer numbers for the simple economics of POT costs driving away, in droves, their customers, for more advantageous, mobile digital relay carrier plans. I'm sure former POT operators, now our ISPs, will need all the FCC help they can get after witnessing the rug pulled from beneath them by technology. |

I waved goodbye to POT service about 3 years ago and proved wrong the opinion that old people can't adapt to smart phones. It's a great arrangement. Wish I had done it earlier. Larc |
