Is it difficult to download photos to your computer with this Nikon Coolpix S3500?

Not at all. You can either use the USB cord that comes with the camera and download that way (and charge the battery at the same time!) or remove the SD card and insert that into your laptop or printer. 2 ways, both very easy.

Its not the most intuitive. The easy fix is once you link it to your computer and can see it in your explorer (PC), to go to your computer's autoplay options and save the download via windows as default action. This is true only if you use a PC, not a Mac.

Incredibly easy, all you do is plug the camera into the USB port of the laptop and the computer should ask you which photos you would like to download --that's the story with my macbook at least! I didn't even have to install any special software. I assume inserting the camera's memory card into the computer would prove just as simple.

I have not been able to download the software either. I have found a USB port to house my card from the camera to get the photos on the computer.

Dorothy, I think you probably exceeded the internal memory of the camera. You can take fairly large pics with it of several MB, so after a dozen you ran out of memory. If you want to really enjoy your camera, get a memory card. I bought a Zectron Pro Memory Card for Nikon COOLPIX S3500 32GB Class 10 High Speed SDHC card for $27.98. It holds thousands of pictures and/or video (which you can also take with the S3500 btw). You would have a very hard time filling this up, even on a long trip where you took lots of pictures. Be sure to download your pics once in a while and organize them, or you will never be able to find the pictures you have taken. I hope this helps.

No. However, I have no trouble grabbing the SD card out and putting it into my computer. I think this is probably faster than having to transfer the files through wifi since the picture files can be quite large depending on your resolution, etc.

Yes, I like the camera very much. I find the menus easy to use and it takes great pictures. I have taken some outdoor shots with a tripod in low light and find the results to be very good for a point and shoot camera. As far as uploads, I don't know. I use Linux on my computers and the utilities are for Windows and I suspect Mac. I pull the pictures from the memory card with a card reader. This Sony support page has manuals for download. You should be able to find the answers there. http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DSCWX300R&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=manuals#/manualsTab

There is software for the camera but I believe it is stored inside the camera so when you connect the camera to the computer it starts the download

I cannot get files from the camera connected to the computer.However, using a usb card reader works perfectly. It only cost me a couple of dollars as well.

Yes. It comes with a cord from camera to usb port on computer to download photos

when you connect the camera to the pc it will download from online.... I never had to download a separate software to get the pics from the camera to my pc....

If you mean download from the camera to the computer like a smartphone uploads to social media, then no it cannot. If you use the cable that goes from the camera to the computer then yes, you can download your photos to the computer.

Never tried and I seriously doubt it for they got you on this one. I finally broke down and bought a different camera for it was getting way to expansive. I will miss the quick photo dock. People were so amazed when i handed them a photo 5 minutes later. Most people will have 1000's of digital pictures in a computer and never put them in a photo book. Nothing like a photo book to kick back and look at or pass along. I swear my wife has a million pics in her camera doing nothing, but technically I can't answer your question, but you may want to consider to move on to different camera.Best

Yes.Be careful what you look like when registering your new computer as it takes your picture. I'm trying to figure out who that dork is.

I received software which I installed on my computer. Not sure if one is able to download the photos from the camera without it.

Hello William, I have not had a problem storing photos. I have a lot of them on this machine. I don't edit or crop them very often but this computer can do anything a larger computer can do. It just can't do it as fast as a larger, more powerful computer can. It is a great size for traveling so you can load your pictures and view them every day. Good luck with your computer shopping, Joe Busa

Yes, it so easy, just plug in the USB cable to your computer and the modified small USB into your camera. turn the camera on and it will start to import the photos.

I had a lot of trouble downloading to Windows, too. Finally I had to find the Kodak Share Button App online and download it on my computer. Now it works great.
