Abstract
A digital camera apparatus wherein the cable used to link the camera to a processing device is stored within the body of the camera. The camera includes a cover associated with the camera housing that together define a storage cavity. The storage cavity is adapted to receive at least a portion of a cable and an associated connector. The cover, when closed, protects the connector and the portion of the cable against damage. When the cover is opened the connector is freely accessible to the user. The connector is compatible with a processing device and the cable communicatively couples the connector to the data storage mechanism, allowing files stored on the camera's data storage mechanism to be transfer to the processing device.
