ELPH180- Where is my usb cable? how am I supposed to download pix? Canon SUCKS

[aMaZgRaZ]

Why in God's name was a usb not included in the package? I see Canon is trying to sell me one for $60ish...This fact was NOT indicated anywhere...What good is this "camera" if I can't upload/download the pix? USELESS and CANON SUCKS. Furthermore. this was sent to me as a VISA "Rewards"...really? VISA is going to hear aboutU this scam.

Other manufacturers do not include a cord, or a memory card, with their least expensive cameras, either.  Including a card and cord, would price their cameras completely out of this highly competitive market segment.

Most people in the market for cameras in this price range typically have their own USB cord and a memory card, usually from another device they already own. Together, a card and cord may cost as much as the camera itself.

While you are at it, I would strongly suggest getting a card reader for uploads instead of connecting the camera to the computer.  Your computer might even have a card reader built in with a slot for plugging in your sd card.  If not, you can buy one anywhere for under $20. 

Using the reader does not run down the camera batteries, and the upload speed is faster.

It's a SIMPLE USB CORD! If you think Canon is bad for not including an USB cord you should have bought an EP PRINTER. If you buy one of their printers you are FORCED TO ACCEPT THEIR FREE INK PROGRAM or there is NO WAY you can complete the printer setup with any other ink cartridges. Once you set it up with the trial ink cartridges and try to cancel the trial free ink you have to register your credit card to setup the free ink. You try and cancel and there is NO WAY the printer will work without the free ink program even after the trial is up. You keep getting an ERROR MESSAGE. That's a RACKET. And you are complaining about a simple USB CORD??? As stated by Canon they don't include one because customer need different CABLE LENGTHS. Quit crying like babies and GROW UP!
