no, what you need is a usb cable to connect your camera to your pc. The cable will transfer the data from the sd card in your camera to the pc

Do not listen to D. Fox, the first 3 answers are correct on what you want to do. You do NOT need the USB cable which goes from your camera to your USB port in the computer. Just plug your memory card into the cardreader and then plug the card reader into your USB port, and you are ready to download your pictures into your computer.You can use a USB cable but that will defeat the purpose of the card reader.

I'm sure you can but, the question isn't can you get one, it is why do you need one? I have never used it. I just take the SD card out of the camera and put it into my computor. Do you have a computor that doesn't have an SD card reader? If so then there are lots of places that will transfer your photos from your SD card to a disc.

Jeff that micro sd does not I Clyde an adapter. You may be able to download your pics from your camera via a sub cable without removal of the sd card. Few computers have a micro Sd slot. A unit such asSanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC High Speed Class 4 Card with MicroSD to SD AdapterWhich includes an adapter might be a better solution. I had an older Kodak camera and it used a standard sd card, which was not an issue. But as I said it appears that model needs the micro

I don't have a Kindle. I transfer photos from a camera to a PC or other devices with a USB cable, I'd think a Kindle would have a USB port? I have a adapter that takes the micro card and then I put the adapter into the SD card reader. There are adapters that hold a micro card and plug into a USB port.

The most reliable way to transfer photos from any brand of camera to any type of computer is NOT with a cable, it is with a USB card reader. Just put the SD card into the card reader and plug the card reader into a USB port on your computer. Use the software on your computer to import the photos to your photos folder.

You don't need a card reader as you put the SDHC card directly into the unit. There is a dual-plug USB cable that connects unit to the computer.

There is no SD card reader. The only USB looking slot is marked "service only" - I don't know exactly what That means. There's a PC hook up, 3 HDMI, & the usual Component, AV & VGA Hook ups.

If you have a newer Mac that has an SD card slot you simply remove the SD card from your camera and plug it into your computer. The SD card is not included but luckily they're pretty affordable. If your Mac does not have an SD card reader then you use a USB cable.

You need to use the software that came with your camera, or buy a memory card USB reader that you plug into your computer, then you drag the photo files onto the memory card (it will show up just like any other drive on your desktop). However you download the photos from your camera to the computer, there might be a way to drag photos back on the camera. If there isn't, you'll have to get a memory card reader (very cheap) that plugs into USB port - go to an electronics store (bring your memory card) and ask them and they'll show you what you need to buy.

Nope, no sd card reader. Only a USB and charger port. Not sure why the description would say that. I owned it but have moved on to a Samsung Ativ PC tablet.

If your computer had a slot for SD card, you can remove SD from camera and insert there to read it. Otherwise will need a USB cable that fits.

You can upload pictures by a USB connection from camera to computer or and sd card reader. SD card readers upload pictures faster. If you computer is not equipped with an sd card reader you can buy a good one for approx $25.00. Hope this helps.
