Buying online
Depending on your camera model, the easiest way of finding a spare USB cable is going online.
Your camera manufacturer
If your digital camera is from a well-known brand, you may be able to find the perfect spare USB cable from their own website. This guarantees that it will work with your particular camera model.
Amazon.co.uk
Amazon has a large variety of USB cables for cameras, including smartphones with cameras such as the iPhone. Make sure to read the small print to confirm that it indeed works with your camera, specially if you are buying a white label cable.
PCWorld
PCWorld offers a variety of computer cards and USB cables for digital cameras from most well-known manufacturers and models. They also store camera card readers, which can be used to read any camera card and transfer to a computer via a USB connection such as the PUREMEDIA SDHC Memory Card Reader which is available for £6.99 as of 11.08.11.
Shopping in person
If you don't want to wait for your cable to be delivered, you can also buy it in person in many High Street electronic shops.
Sony stores
You can purchase cables for most Sony cameras in a Sony store retailer, but if your model is very old, you may need to order and come back to pick it up later.
Jessops
This retailer is specialised in photography products and if they don't have the exact cable for your model, they may be able to offer you a white label alternative or order it for you from the store. They don't stock many low-end cameras, which may be an issue if yours is not from a major manufacturer.
Currys
Currys is a major electronics retailer and its shops often stock adaptors and card readers, even for picture capable phones. If they don't have what you need, you can take a look at their website, and order to collect it in their store in person.
