    No not all usb's are the same. You have what's called a USB which is the plug for going into your laptop, however you have USB mini A and USB mini B plugs as well. The mini A is the small flat tipped one that your camera and most mp3,and other devices use. The mini B is the round almost square one, that CD drives and other systems use. Hope that helps.

    If the plug fits it should no problem. I do this all the time between my phone, mp3 player and camera. If it doesn't fit you can go to your local radio shack and pick up and adapter kit. There are several different sizes of usb mini's.

    Yes it should work, try plugging the usb cable in see if it fits, it should work unless they changed the size a little so they make you buy their cable.

    Uusb cables are the same. If the ends fit together correctly then you have no problem and don't have to worry about it frying anything.
