However ... and here's the catch ... many camera makers use their own
proprietary connectors on their cables and camera ports. 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.

On cameras, it's the battery pack that is non-standard.
If you go to Best Buy, there's a whole rack of different
battery pack models.


Yup. Has anyone gotten the idea to support the use of a USB battery
as an external power source?

BTW, even with the smartphone, I do not like using them (neither cell
phone nor smartphone). My sister doesn't understand why I don't see
her text messages she sends to me LOL.

Some time ago, especially outside a heavier supplied infrastructure of
urban areas, notably the Central States, the smart/portable device
overwhelmed POT carriers. 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.
