What sort of cable comes with the camera?

You can always use my method.
Whatever cord that fits into the labtop back is in the right place

a USB one.. o.O
Okay well I can't seem to find a pic of the back of my own laptop. But I'll see if I can find a close up pic of what the port looks like. It basically looks like a USB port except it's got this little black bar over the front of it. The prongs are gold though, and if the black thing was removed it would basically be a USB port I think.
Edit, actually maybe the one I had was a Firewire? I'm honestly not sure at all. I think it was... o___O That's why I can't transfer pics then, because I have a firewire cable not a USB one? Does anybody happen to have a good pic of a USB port, because I'm very confused.

USB ports do have bars on top, usually black or white. You put the cable in with the bar (on the cable) facing the open bit. Gosh that's hard to explain! Just try it one way, don't force it and if it doesn't fit turn it upside down.

But now that I think of it, I honestly think it was a Firewire port. Does firewire have a black bar over the gold prongs? Mine didn't.. (if it was a Firewire)
Edit, this is my cable.. or at least I think it is. Whatever used to be where the current port is, this fit in it.

That looks like a USB cable.

I've been trying to find a decent pic of a firewire port but most are too small.

That's the problem I was having. If it's a USB port then why did the idiots fix it wrong.. ? I plainly said USB PORT.

Have you tried plugging the cable in? Line up the bar on the cable plug with the open part (that has the pins on it) on the back of the laptop. After having another look it certainly seems to be USB ports, two of them, on the back of the laptop.
