You may need a USB cable for your Canon camera for reasons such as:
- Transferring files
- Using your Canon camera as a webcam.
- Connecting your Canon camera to your computer
It’s hard to find a straight answer on what USB cable you need for your Canon camera so I’ve created a table to make your life easier.
(Last updated April 2023 to include newer EOS R series cameras like the EOS R50 and EOS R8.)
Canon Camera and USB Interface Cable – Compatibility Chart
The table covers 47 Canon cameras including DSLR, mirrorless and compact Canon cameras, so you can find the right USB cable for your Canon camera.
💡 Tip: To find your Canon camera and the compatible USB cable, you can either scroll down or do the following:
- For Windows – Press ‘Ctrl’ + ‘f’ and type in your camera model (e.g. ‘Rebel T7’)
- For Mac – Press ‘Command ‘ + ‘f’ and type in your camera model (e.g. ‘Rebel T7’)

- If the camera or cable has “**” next to it then this means that the cable is NOT normally bundled with the camera.
- All of the cameras in the table are also compatible with Canon’s EOS Webcam Utility Pro software EXCEPT the EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R50, EOS R8
- Where possible I’ve linked to a replacement cable in case you need one.
Does My Canon Camera Come Bundled With A USB Interface Cable?
If you’re lucky, some Canon cameras come with a USB cord, but some don’t.
The compatibility chart in this post tell you whether your camera model normally comes bundled with the right USB interface cable or not.
Seeing as there are so many different models you can’t always just use one cable from one camera and plug it into another.
Now you should know which USB cable to use for your Canon camera.
Hopefully if you ever have to ask the question ‘which interface cable works with my Canon camera?’ then you can come back to this post.
