Camera Crisis


My camera which works perfect fine no longer will communicate with my computer via the little usb cord. It's not the cord that's at fault, how I wish it were that simple. The receptacle that accepts the usb in the camera has broken off inside the camera. I'm so bummed since I have a ton of pix to share with you all. Now I'm trying to decide if this is the universe saying it's time for a new camera or if it just means I need to figure out a way to get my pictures off my sd card and keep my camera for now. Of course I am lusting after a better camera. Perhaps I should think about used or refurbished. I mean it's not like I'm an avid photographer, right? I've always been partial to Nikon and Pentax. I know tons of people love Canon too. What to get? What's best? I have no idea where to start even. Do I get a camera feature packed that I can grow into or do I get something that's simple and straightforward? Decisions, decisions. Seriously...if you have a recommendation about a camera send it my way.

Does your computer have an SD card port? Mine does, and I can just plug the SD card directly into my computer to transfer photos. Alternately, you can buy an SD card adapter thingy (can't think of the exact name) which plugs into the USB port of your computer for about $10.

I don't know Sabrina but I hope you figure it out! I feel your pain, I knocked mine off the ironing board and the flash no longer works, so I can really only take photos outside, not good...

Sabrina, I bought an SD card reader for about $15 from Best Buy. I take the SD card out of the camera and attach it via USB to the computer. A cheap solution until you figure out if you want to go for the new camera!
