There is a difference in cables. The end that plugs into your camera is going to be a 4 pin. The end that plugs in to your computer depends on what type of computer you have. Generally a desktop is going to have a 6 pin connector and generally a lap top is going to have a 4 pin connector but it is not a given. Check you computer and find the plug before you purchase your cable.
