my original thought was to contact pentax directly for this cable, but was advised by Pentax to go to Amazon, which was fine with me of course. the cable works naturally, and is NOT available directly from Pentax! Happy trails and good shooting,

Big problem.

This is supposed to be used to download photos from the Optio to a computer.

The USB side of the equation is OK.

The other end, however has a thick plug which interferes with the casing of the camera. It's quite different from the slim plug pictured. You have to force it it, and even then you don't always get a positive contact.

Products that don't work should be removed from the site.

Why is this one still here?

Anybody home???

Amazon's description says this cable is compatible with the Optio 450. Not true. The black plastic lug at the camera end prevents coupling.

They're wires!! They have a small doodad on one end that fits in the camera and a larger one at the other end and electrons magically travel from one end to the other. I can't tell you how they do it but pictures somehow appear on a computer monitor and so I'm pretty sure that there are no shorts in the wire which is nice because the only reason to have the wire is to allow electrons to move from one end to the other without interruption. It's a black wire which sort of gets me down in that it reminds me of long winter nights rather than colorful spring flowers but since the wire is usually kept in a dark case, I guess it doesn't make a difference.One hint...This wire is not an appropriate anniversary or birthday gift for the lady in your life

After initially reviewing this product about how I was unhappy with what I received, I soon received an email from the seller stating they would offer me a full refund of the product, which went above and beyond what I expected. It was a very courteous email and generous offer. I know it is not much to refund, but still nice to see a company care for its customers. The product I received works, but has poor connectivity and often fails when loading pictures. Seems to be an isolated incident and will gladly purchase other products from them again since their customer service seems to be well above par.

The cable i ordered for my Pentex camera does not fit my camera - the shipping cost more then the cable.

Either there is something wrong with my camera or this is not compatible with the Optio S50. I was unable to transfer any of my pictures to my computer, and kept receiving an error message every time I plugged the device in. I have tried other usb card readers with no problems. The only reason I ordered this was so that I would not have to remove the memory card each time I went to transfer the files to my computer, and risk losing the data by not ejecting it properly. Why I keep getting this error message I do no know.

This product is exactly what I was looking for. I searched in stores but they were unable to provide me with the correct wire.

I ordered this product and it never arrived.

Very, very poor performance.

I needed an extra USB cable for my Pentax digital camera to take on the road and the I-USB7 USB Cable filled the bill. The cable is as well built as the original that came with the camera. The only physical difference observed is the camera side plug body is a bit thicker than the OEM. However, this in no way affects the functionality of the cable.
