I have a Canon SD20 digital camera. I lost that part that connects the camera to the computer... it's white..? I have no idea what it's called. I think that it's the same kind that is used with other SD cameras, but not all of them, if that's helpful.
My question is, where can I get another one of those? I looked around on the Canon website and they have all these "Accesories" and stuff, but I just want the basic cable/cord/whatever it's called. Anyone any more tech-savvy know the answer?

it's called a mini usb cable, you can buy a non canon version,
they cost $4.00
google usb "mini b" cable

PLEASE note that you don't want the "mini a" type because the mini A end is rounded a little than the more angular mini b, see the differences here.
mini A vs. mini B

and the flat computer end is a "type A" usb connector

It is called a USB connection cable and you should be able to pick one up at just about any electronics accessories shop. Just take the camera along with you when you go to buy so that you can purchase the correct cable. If you live in new south wales try either Jaycar electronics or Strathfield car radio

Yeah, it is called usb cable. Take your camera with you to your local Radio Shack or other camera retailer like Circuit City, Office Depot, Frye's or Best Buy. They should have it. Good luck.

In addition to what previous posters have said, I would strongly advise you to make an extra step and get a USB CARD READER. It will make image transfer between computer and a camera faster and much more convenient.

yep, it's the usb cable, you might have similar cables if you have mp3 players or other gadgets that would come with this cable.
