hi everyone

as a frustrated owner of a year old replacement radio shack brand optimus 5.0 megpexi digital camera, i just wondered if there anyone out there who has experience any problems with your UBS Port flathead AV cord that connects the camera to your computer ie getting a error popped up like this one?- "usb port hub had exceeded its limits" i have no clue as to whatever that means. up to last year the camera work just great and i was able to upload my pictures from my vacation, and i have not been using it all that much, i had several suggestions from this board btw thanks to those who help me, i brought new batteries, tooked some "test" shots" i plugged the camera in to the computer moments later i endedup getting the error that i mention i get the same error when i used every ubs port i have. the odd thing is that all my stuff USB supported and they all worked just fine, as i mention before i borrowed my nieces kodak camera i took some test shots and up loaded the picture with no problem, this proves that my ports are funtioning great! i dont know its the camera itself or the cord, i found it odd that i had 2 cameras that worked for abit anded up having problems im at my wits end about i hate to go back with it and they wont give me a new one any help or advice that yoy can give is greatly appreciated im sorry for being long winded

thanks

I'm not sure of what is causing this problem, but I may have a work around.

If you can't upload the data right from the camera, how about using a card reader?

I would dump the camera in the nearest bin and buy a decent one.
Sorry to sound brutal, but you've had three of them and all three have failed.
I would take the hint and buy something that works, maybe a Kodak like your niece's.

I second Wombat's suggestion (there is a reason his name has smart in it) and add that you should read the reviews on here to find something that you will like.
If the Optimus were a camera that it is possible to write a review for on here (it doesn't look like it is) I would also suggest doing that. try to steer others away, possibly check out e-pinions or somewhere else to see if you can voice your opinions on what sounds like an overly faulty camera.

Dear Dumpy And Wombat.
Thank's guys for your input it means a great deal to me, i tooked your advice and pitched both the camera and the USB flathead cord into the trash. and ordered myself a fujiflim digital camera. i should be getting it either this week or next week i will let you know If its works or not i do say thats a Very Big IF! lol wombat, its ok i dont mind you being brutal. honesty, i think who ever builds optimus cameras should be told their camera Sucks! and radio shack should never put these cameras out for sale.
