I think she means the USB cable that plugs into the camera. That's going to be hard to find, although B&H might have one. Still, I agree. She's not a dickhead.

Another option would be to pick up a 1 gig flash card. You can by one at Samy's on Venice Blvd. and Arthur Kenney. Just a hop, skip and jump from the airport and a few blocks east of Venice Beach.

RE: tan is a dickhead...
Thanks heaps Bill! Yep, Shel - the USB cable that is used on the *istD is camera specific - as is the one that I use for my Muvo mp3 player. I have a universal one (such as that you are referring to) with me, and also the one for my Muvo, but my *istD cable is happily sitting at home in his little USB port attached to my PC back in Australia! And I don't care what any of you say - I AM a dickhead for doing that! lol. btw, I think that as Aussies, we probably use the term in a much lighter sense that you guys in the US do. When I said that, it was totally tongue-in-cheek, as are most comments that Aussies make! lol. So funny, on the flight from Japan today there was about 12 young US Navy recruits and they kept saying "oh, you Arssees, you r accent is so cute!"

Ahh, thanks, interesting info, a web page with pic and interchangeability info would be quite handy me thinks. On my last trip I didn't envisage requiring the USB cable for my X-Drive as I had no PC and I had 80GB free (so I thought). After driving some 1000km I suddenly remembered that I had dumped my music library on it whilst doing some system maintenance so I only had about 15GB free. Thankfully it was enough space however if I knew what other cables connected to it I could have found a computer shop some place and borrowed a suitable cable in order to free up my drive space.

Re: tan is a dickhead...
It's a right pain that my other MP3 player and the *istD and many other devices still choose proprietary sockets though - just makes no sense whatsoever, except that they make extra money out of expensive cabling Indeed. There are three standard USB connectors: USB-A: this is what goes in to the 'host', ie computer USB-B: goes in to the peripheral device.. most printers have this type USB-mini B: A much smaller connector, for mobile devices. My Canon S45 has a USB mini-B, nice and standard. Pentax in their wisdom decided against going for something standard, and then stuck the video out on the same connector as USB. Oh well.

There are two types of mini-USB connectors. One that about 90% of devices use, and one that about 10% of devices use. Guess which one Pentax went with? The common one is small and flat.

Tan, there'll be about a dozen of us with ist-D cameras at GFM and most of us will have USB cables on hand. You can borrow mine if need be. When I was racing motorcycles, I typically had to leave for a weekend of racing right after work on Friday, with packing done late on Thursday night in near panic. I learned to do "triage" packing: You divide everything into three categories: 1 - Stuff that's absolutely irreplaceable. Motorcycle, for example ;-) 2 - Stuff that can be procured (purchased/borrowed) on site, but with great expense and/or difficulty. 3 - Stuff that can be procured on site with relative ease or can be done without if necessary. The USB cable ranks somewhere between categories one and two. Relax and enjoy the rest of your trip. :) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com

I think it's Pentax that are the dickheads here. Maybe they aren't. According to a link that Anders provided "http://www.deltaco.se/"; the connector on the *ist D is USB 1.1 and 2 capable and also provides video connection. It appears to also be used on Canon EOS-1D, EOS-1DS, a number of Nikon Coolpix, Panasonic and Toshiba cameras. So it's not in such bad company.
