    So, I bought this camera cause I'm on the field all day, and need the pictures to be sent to office as quick as possible. Nikon advertises their app you can load on your phone, and take pictures with camera and it'll auto transfer to phone and then you can upload automatically to Nikon picture service. This never worked reliable so I returned the camera as this was the main reason I bought this camera. That and it uses AA batteries, which is great when a battery dies in the field in an emergency I can just stop at a store and replace. Second issue I had with this camera is that it was much slower to take the picture when I clicked the button. My current Canon took the pictures almost immediately, there was a noticeable delay with the Nikon. Sadly this camera didn't meet my needs, and I returned it to Best Buy.
