[QUOTE="aroy, post: 533472, member: 16090"] Welcome to the forum. I disagree a bit. A card reader is fine, but the USB cable should not come apart. I bought my D3300 in March 11th, 2014. Every day, at least twice a day I connect the USB cable to transfer the images. It is still going strong. Electrically most of the USB cables are same. The difference is in the connector size.
