Just purchased a 6d Mark ll and it does not come with interface cable to transfer images from camera to computer/MacBook Pro. When checking on Canon website it shows this interface cable USB Cable IFC -200 U but does not list 6d Mark ll as compatible. What kind and where do I buy cable that works?

Does the 6D Mark II have USB 3.0?

You could likely use any high quality USB cable that has the proper terminations. The Canon cables have a ferrite core noise reduction filter that may not be needed. It is often added for FCC testing but in the real world isn't needed.

I checked the 6D2's specs, and it says USB 2 interface. Confirming the interface with IFC-200, it's a mini-B interface. Here's an equivalent USB 2 cable from Amazon: AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable - A-Male to Mini-B - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) (external link)

Interesting to note that the Nikon D750 includes the cable.

Mini USB cables used to be more popular...I still have a few from old electronics. Now with most blue tooth devices and e-readers, micro USB has become more popular. Then, for faster USB 3 speeds, cameras are starting to use micro-B USB 3 interfaces (and other portable devices are using USB-C).

Chiefdeck...If I may interject. You will be better served by buying a usb3 card reader instead of the usb IF cable. This will save you much time in the data transfer and does not require you to power on the camera, saving the battery for shooting.

Good luck

Paul
