Did you get a new camera for the holidays? Take a lot of pictures?

Then spend a lot of time looking for the cable to connect the camera to the computer?

Yeah, me too.

Until I got a camera strap (lanyard) with a built-in USB cable. I got it from CyberGuys, one of my favorite mail-order places for techie things. The wrist strap is only $8, and the neck strap is only $9.

The connectors are inside a little plastic box the size of a pencil eraser. The strap part is actually the cable. Pull off the plastic box, and take out the cable to connect one end to your computer and the other end to the camera.

I’ve bought things from CyberGuys for several years without complaints. I have no connection with them other than a satisfied customer. Their prices are very reasonable (especially for cables), and they ship quickly.

A bit late for a stocking stuffer, but a useful thing to get for yourself.
