Im glad you said this I hadn't used it yet and am ordering a cable tonight just checked and I'd of been unhappy when it showed if I'd of ordered what I thought it was. Not sure what that ones called but I know my last digital camera came with one I gota dig it out and see what it converts over too though.
It's actually a micro hdmi good catch you saved me more shipping time and a few bucks.
Only reason unless performance related I can see is they didn't want people trying to connect their tablet or phone thinking that's how they linked to controller. Just a guess though, those don't seem to be used a whole lot but they have been out a while that cameras far from being new now.
