My Friends and I want to make a web show but the Camera I use (A Lumix Digital Camera) didn’t come with those cords that you use to connect it to the computer. What are they called so that I can buy one for my camera.

Camera – to – computer data cables. Or USB cables for cameras. Or USB cables with camera connections.

Make sure you match the shape of the port on your camera to the cable. Different cameras use different plug shapes.

Mini USB cable.

Lightlyseared is right. Be careful since there is also a micro-usb (used on a lot of phones). I actually just got burned on this when I got one for my Apple TV. It uses micro and I bought mini. They look almost the same.

If you get one from a store I would suggest bringing the camera with you so you can check the size before you buy it, alot of store will let you do that so you don’t have to keep going back and exchanging it.

Yep, and if you buy online, the picture should show the plug end so you could check it. The micro has curved corners and the mini has wavey sides. Just check your camera and see which it is.
