Bought Nikon P900. Loved the zoom. Camera too heavy for me. Took it back.
Bought Nikon B700. Loved the zoom. Loved the weight. Can't get images to transfer via wifi / Bluetooth / SnapBridge... I've tried over and over and over!
My dilemma: keep the B700 and transfer images to computer (which is old and slow as molasses). And just forget trying to transfer to my iPad Pro.
Oh and the B700 doesn't save images in folders, so each time I connect to computer to transfer images, I have to wade through 100s of images... and I've searched the manual, but didn't find any way to create folders.
I'm stymied. Am I not doing something right? Should I just return the B700 and search for a different camera? Rhetorical, unless someone would like to give suggestions... I'd gladly accept them!

WiFi transfer is always slow on every camera I have ever used that had it. I either cable transfer or pull my card and transfer directly with the card. Much faster.

Wayne is offering a fine, practical answer here. And consider investing in a faster, more modern computer to complement your iPad.

Hang in there, someone will have good suggestion for you. I went through lots of frustration last week with a new printer that did not come with any photo software. Got suggestion here and got best photo software I've ever had 😅

Or you can just plug the USB cable into the camera, copy everything to the computer, and make your folders there.

You have to add the adapter, and then they will. They make it for both the lightening, and the 30 pin. The iPad will automatically recognize a connected camera.

Thanks Wayne. Pulling the card ... a good suggestion.

MtnMan,
Not sure what you mean. ?? Is the adaptor for the camera? Or for the iPad Pro?

This is what I do. When I have a shooting session with any camera, I put the memory card in a card reader and copy all those photos from the session in a new folder on my computer, which is inside a "photos" folder on my desktop. I label the new folder with date and subject. I then delete all the pictures on the memory card and put it back into the camera. I then go into the new folder and delete all the images that are out of focus. When I have time, I select the best one or two photos in the folder and do some post processing and save and rename and copy it to the outer "photos" folder so I can find it easily as a thumbnail in the future (eg. if I want to post it to facebook or my flickr page or UHH). Many times there are no good photos in the shoot so I don't keep any. Just a small number during the year make it to the final cut to be processed and copied to the "photos" folder.

First off, ALWAYS read the manual, and beofre asking others read it again. 9 times out of 10 you will find the answer in the manual. Now if you do not have the manual here is a link for the B700 https://www.camerauserguide.net/nikon-coolpix-b700-camera-user-manual-instruction-manual-user-guide-pdf/28998 pg 102 has all the info you need to do what you asked.

I totally agree, and did. Have read he manual several times. Ordered a book specifically for Nikon B700. Read it also. Watched numerous YouTube videos on how to connect my B700 and transfer images.
My dear hubby reads the instructions after and when things don't go right. I read the instructions first. Always have. Love reading and following instructions. Thanks for the reminder, and I will read the manual again.
