[hells3000]

Well I bougth a cannon powershoot A620 month's ago but I lost the usb cable.

What options do I have?

Can I get a card reader?
positives and cons?

Or a cable?
Wich one?

I have a regular usb on my mobo the type a mouse usb uses.

Is the usb in the camera a 2.0 usb?

Card readers are so much better(for me) Just stick it in and thats it

Card Reader hands down, they so much easier to. I HAD a 8-1 card reader before my damn USB port shorted out and fried it.

I have no clue i have never used them. IF I had to choose between Radioshack and Newegg, normally I would go with Newegg, but for something like this i would just run out the the Shack and pick one up

Do you mean whether you have USB 1.1 or 2.0? What model PC do you have?

Old so it's 1.1 I bet...

Also External or internal?

Well let me put it this way I have a 6 year old Compaq and it have 2 2.0 Usb ports on the back and 2 1.1 ports in the front. I would go with an external because it is portable and it does not take up space on you PSU, or your bays

Now dont quote me on this, but I think you can use a 2.0 drive on a 1.0 but it will just be slower. I was my 2.0 USB card reader on a 1.1 port and all I got was message telling me that my reader is 2.0 and can run faster if connected to a 2.0 port.

 

[hells3000]

I got 1.1

all you do is hit the windows key and pause/break key go to device manager
and if it says enhanced or usb 2 then you got 2.0

In that case you can use just about ANY card reader.
