Nikon D750 proprietary USB connector?

(1/4) > >>

Jørgen Ramskov:
I haven't had any use for the USB connection on my D750, but I tried some quite timelapse stuff (with a bad result) and wanted to use the USB connection for qDslrDashboard. No problems, I have all kinds of USB cables lying around, just a matter of finding the correct one. Not so, it seems Nikon uses their own special connector:

--- Quote ---Another thing to mention about the USB connectivity, the cable itself is Nikon proprietary, a connection plug that is only specific to Nikon cameras. Another source of endless frustration if you happen to lose it, but then again it’s so useless why would you even bother.

What kind of brainfart made anyone think that was a good idea?

Sorry, rant over.

I was a little surprised that the D810 comes with a USB 3 cable  :o

pluton:
My D800 (built in 2012) has a USB 3 also.  Maybe Nikon bought too many of those weird little proprietary ones back in the D2/D3 days? 

John Geerts:
It this about the UC-E14.?  These are pretty cheap over here  http://www.subtel.nl/cgi-bin/cosmoshop/lshop.cgi?action=showdetail&artnum=916213&campaign=nl-pla/Datenkabel/916213

Jørgen Ramskov:
No, it looks almost like a mini usb connector, but isn't.
