Hey you can send the images wirelessly or pop out the memory card. I highly recommend buying a camera bag and maybe even tripod. It depends how much you are willing to spend. There are a bunch of great lenses and a flash would be nice to have. I'm sure if you look hard enough around your house you will find the Micro USB cable you need for the camera.

Once properly inserted, your computer will recognize the card and if configured to do so, will launch a window to import the contents. If the window does not launch, open Windows Explorer. Go to "My computer" and look for your removable drives. Your photos/videos will be accessible there. Please note - these instructions are for Windows computers. I'm not familiar with iOS.

If you did not receive these then you have received either an open box or gray market. Neither is a good thing. Canon USA will not honor gray market warranties. You never know if an open box is a return, well used already a display model, or refurbished. Remember, when buying any electronic, a deal that sounds really really great is usually going to cost more in the long run. Stick with reputable dealers such as Best Buy. You will need to buy a, SD card. Any name brand sold by a reputable company will be acceptable. Off brands or shady retailers too often have counterfeit cards. The name brands often get blamed for the poor performance of the counterfeit. The best way to be sure is to buy from a retail source such as Best Buy. It may be more expensive, but worth the cost. My recommendation is to leave the card in the camera and use the USB cable. Removing the card will lead to wear and a premature death of the card. It is hard on the contacts to be rubbing on the connector side with every removal and insertion. By just leaving the card in the camera and using the cable, you save on killing the card when you need the pictures of a special occasion. While the occasional removal won't hurt, just avoid making it a practice. Many pros change cards regularly, but also wonder why they have so many card failures. Broken contacts is the biggest cause of a failed card and is harder to recover the photos. My recommendation is to use a 32 GB card minimum and preferably a 64 GB. Shooting RAW will use up more space, but 32 GB still should several hundred photos. You will more likely use up your battery before filling the card. 128 GB are available but pricier. While "Speed 6" SD cards will work, a "Speed 10" is insurance and cost the same. Either standard size or micro + adapter will work. However, there are more complaints about micro adapters failing when the card is transfered repeatedly. (It is even more important to leave micro cards in their adapter and use the USB cable) This camera can use WiFi. Most people find it too slow and cumbersome to use. It is not something you will use often but is nice to have to transfer one photo to a cell phone. Your JPG files will be 8 MB and can take up to 1 1/2 minutes to transfer. Good luck
