90d USB Cord

chief — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 12:44:28 GMT

I am drawing a blank, what kind and where can i purchase a USB cord for my EOS 90d so I can transfer images right from camera to MacBook and also to check shutter count. Also does any one know whta kind of USB cable a 1dx Mark ll uses. I am looking at buying a used model from friend and they do not have one, also want to check shutter count. Thanks

1D X series report shutter count in 1000 blocks right in the camera.

Any USB type-mini-B cable should work. Just make sure it is not a charging cable.

90D is Micro-B and 1D X Mark II is USB-3.

Google before you purchase.

Be careful; some of Canon's recent high-end cameras (7D2, 5D4, ...) use a cable that's micro-USB3 at the camera end.

B&H sells all forms of USB cables. All the ones I've bought there have worked fine.

I find it a just little odd that your friend, who is selling you a $4000+ camera, cannot offer more insight and help.

Look up the cameras at Canon’s Online Store to see the accessories. Or you could visit B&H.

On Canon's store, and th emanual, too, you can only find the number for the cable, no info as to what kind of connector it has. I believe it is just a micro-B, not USB-C.

Which is exactly why I suggest a visit to B&H

You are correct, BTW.

"Read the manual and still confused thanks for being a jerk"

If suggesting you read the manual is of little help, I doubt reading this will help either! It is pretty much what the manual says.

"Our site has the information:

BTW, does it make Stephen a "jerk" also?

Priceless. The OP comes here begging for aid regarding the purchase of a simple USB cable, claims to have a 90D and is considering the purchase of a 1DX2, but requires hand-holding in using Google and making a nickel-and-dime purchase. It is clear to me that he hasn't referenced the full user manual, despite his cries to the contrary and blowing up at you. Where do these clowns come from?
