Tranferring images from the new-to-me D-500 to my computer
Feb 8, 2021 15:40:50 #
Wow, do I feel dumb. Got this camera over the weekend and can't figure out how to transfer the images for processing. My other Nikons had a small port for the tranfer cable but not the 500. Manual didn't seem to help. Must I use wireless, or is that what the USB port is for. Does it require special cable? This will probably be the first in a series of cringe-inducing questions I ask. (Why did that idiot buy that camera is what you may be thinking.) Know I'm going to love it, but need help. Thanks.

Never used a card reader, ex on rare occasions, the SDHC slot in my computer. Cables have worked fine for me for many years. Can't see why someone would insert a comparatively mediocre piece of equipment between two excellent ones. One more thing to buy.

Curious - Which piece of equipment are you referring to as being comparatively mediocre?

It's what I have coined to be HedgeHog Logic. If it's said enough, it becomes truth.

Not the camera or computer - I suppose there are good card readers, but most are pretty cheap.

My card readers are all integral with the computers. I've never had a problem. And I'll bet that they are simply internal USB card readers. I do have an external USB card reader, but I used that at work. I never had a problem with that either. Transfer by card reader is faster than the cable.

The data doesn't care, it just moves.
