I recently purchased the PowerShot SX600 HS point and shoot and it did not come with a USB cable. I tried various cables I have, but none of them fit the output on the camera. Is there a specification I can ask for when I go to the electronics store to purchase one?

Thanks very much for the quick reply. That's exactly the information I needed.

Two small things: "Mini-B" also goes by the name Mini USB, to differentiate it from "Micro USB". It'll help if you're looking online where there are a gazillion cables.
And two: I would highly recommend getting a cable with a ferrite bead. It's a high frequency filter. I've used cables without them that functioned alright, but I've also had issues. If you're going to buy one, you might as well get one with the filter. Like this one (the filter is the little cylinder on one end):

Thank you, Skirball! This is also very helpful--I've seen cables like this but didn't know the difference. I'm really surprised the camera doesn't come with the cable--my previous digital, a Fuji, came with everything I needed. I suppose with the built-in Wi-fi Canon expects the consumer to wirelessly download the pictures, but I prefer to download manually for more control.
