Default FFS! How many shapes of USB plug are there!!?!



Really REALLY wanna check out some pics I took at "work" today, but the USB plug on this camera isnt like any of the 3 different shape ones i found in the house

Its a tiny one, but the tiny connector I have is the same, ie I need male+female and at mo its a bit graceland+rainbird

Are there loads or?

right, heres the thing, i got a wire that goes from the biggest usb ports like in the back of PCs to a small plug, like this one-



It cam from some digicam i found lying around.

Thing is it dont fit the Olympus camera I got here, plug seems the same, but its not, seems like male/male when it needs to be male/female

Dont matter, can get the right plug from work 2moro, just been doing a nudey roodey photoshoot today in Milton Keynes and wanted a perv at the pics

There is only one USB (universal serial bus connector) for the PC, the other side may vary according to input device

Probably because the B size socket is toooo big to fit on the side proportionally for most digi cameras!!!
