Which USB cable do I need for my Samsung WB720 camera?

Take your camera to a computer shop or digital camera shop and thay will supply you with the correct cable.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

I had the same problem with the P10 not charging via USB, I purchased mine second hand so it came with no charger. I assumed it would charge by the USB cable but it did not, the red light flashes but doesn't charge. Luckily I have an external battery charger for a different camera i got some years ago that takes a similar battery , the P10 battery didn't fit properly so I had to place it at a 45 degree angle into the charger making sure the outer contacts were lined up properly and taped it into place. After an hour it was fully charged and the camera is working fine. The charger is a 4.2 volt charger. New external chargers can be picked up on ebay cheaply

First, try attaching the camcorder via usb cable with the camera OFF, then turning it on. This may trigger Windows to activate the driver scanner and activate the driver. If you've been attaching with camcorder off, try attaching with it on, to see if that activates driver installation.

If that doesn't work, you may have a low-power usb plug; often the usb ports in the back of the computer put out more juice than the handy ones on the front. You may also need a shorter and more robust usb cable; I've found with various cameras and phones that certain usb cables work fine for recharging but won't necessarily provide adequate data transfer.

The A3100 comes with a separate battery charger. The camera does not charge with a USB cord.

The Samsung WB600 digital camera is also known as the Samsung HZ30W. (see the Samsung Product page.for accessories, manual, etc.)
It uses the Samsung SLB11A Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. Several third-party compatiable chargers for this battery are available through retailers such as Amazon.com:

• the EForcity wall charger, under $5,
• the Wasabi charger Kit with batteries, wall charger and car adabpter for about $20,
• the iTEKIRO Replacement Battery Charger Kit for about $5.

Add shipping costs for each.
An extra battery is usually a good idea, too.

You CANNOT charge a camera through a USB port there just is not enough power! you need to get an original wall charger and power up from that. Even the USB cable/wall charger will NEVER charge it up sufficiently.
The USB cable is for data transfer only.

The plug-in charger does not come with a usb cable? What i have is a detachable dual purpose usb cable. One that can be attached via usb to the charger and can be connected to any usb port of a laptop or a desktop.

I was wondering because it should come with the package.

possibly with the usb cable but most likely you have to get the charger. http://www.amazon.com/Casio-Exilim-EX-Z75-Replacement-Battery/dp/B00125VCF4

My son has a Samsung digital camera and bought a Samsung SAC-45 USB Digital Camera Charger and a Samsung USB Data & Charger Cable Type4 SUC-C2.

He is able to charge his camera by plugging the cable into a USB outlet on his computer, but cannot get the camera to charge when using the SAC-45, which plugs into a wall 110 volt AC socket on one end and the cable on the other.

So far we have tried three SAC-45 units, keeping the same cable, and Samsung says they are shipping a fourth SAC-45 unit.

I think there is some problem with the cable, but haven't been able to get Samsung to send another cable.
