I just bought a new windows 8 computer and can't figure out how to download photos from my camera card onto the computer
Maybe the following info will offer some ideas:
Just wondering...if you connect your camera via USB
or if you insert your memory card in it's slot on the PC...
and go to...Computer...can you find Devices With
Removable Storage? Each slot on the Media Reader
should be recognized with a drive letter. Also look for
the camera....is it recognized with a drive letter?
Examples:
Removable Disk (E:)
Removable Disk (F:)
Removable Disk (G:)
One of those drive letters should represent the slot the
memory card is in or the camera if it is connected. If
you find either...you should be able to copy the photos
from there.

Windows 8 - Photos: Frequently asked questions - The Photos app
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/photos-app-faq
While the iPhone might be the most-used camera in the world, it's definitely not the only camera. Many photographers — amateurs and professionals alike — tote other cameras along when shooting.
When taking photos with the iPhone's camera, images are saved right to the device. If you want to save your photos taken with another camera into your iPhone's Photos app, you need to transfer them to your iPhone.
One common way to do this involves syncing your camera or SD card to your computer and then transferring the photos to your iPhone. That isn't your only option, though. Here are five ways to transfer photos from your camera to your iPhone.
Use an Apple Lightning-to-USB Camera Adapter
The simplest way to transfer photos from camera to iPhone is to use this adapter. Just plug a USB cable (not included) into your camera and connect that to this adapter. Then, plug this adapter into the Lightning port on your iPhone.
The pre-installed Photos app on your iPhone then launches. Tap the Import button to transfer the photos. Tap either Import All or select the individual photos you want and tap Import.
It's worth noting that this process doesn't go in the other direction: You can't use this adapter to upload photos from your phone to your camera.
Use an Apple Lightning-to-SD-Card Camera Reader
This adapter is similar to its sibling above, but doesn't connect the camera to the iPhone. Instead, pop the SD card out of your camera, insert it into the adapter, and then plug the adapter into your iPhone's Lightning port.
As with the other Apple adapter, the Photos app prompts you to import some or all of the photos on the SD card. It's not quite as direct as the first option, but it doesn't require you to keep a spare USB cable on hand, either.
Use a Wireless Adapter

Cables are nice and all, but this is the 21st century, and we like to do things wirelessly. You can, too, with a wireless camera adapter.
One good example is the Nikon WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter pictured here. Plug this into your camera to turn it into a Wi-Fi hotspot that your iPhone can connect to. Instead of enabling internet access, though, it's a hotspot dedicated to transferring photos from the camera to your phone.
You'll have to install Nikon's Wireless Mobile Utility app (Download at the App Store) to transfer the images. Once they're in the app, you can move them to other photo apps on your phone, or share them via email or social media.
Canon offers a similar device: the SD-card-style W-E1 Wi-Fi Adapter. Other wireless adapters and SD cards are also available.
Use a Third-Party SD Card Reader

If you prefer to go the entirely third-party route, a number of adapters can connect the SD card from your camera to your iPhone. One of these is the Leef iAccess reader shown here.
With these, you remove the SD card from your camera, connect the adapter to your iPhone, insert the SD card, and import your photos. Depending on the accessory, you may need to install an app. The Leef device requires its MobileMemory app, for instance.
Your options aren't limited to the Leef, of course. A search for 'sd card reader lightning connector' at Amazon returns many other brands of similar multi-port, multi-connector adapters.
How To Download Pictures From My Camera On Windows 10
Use the Cloud
If you prefer to completely avoid cables and adapters, try a cloud service.
This can be a trickier process: You need a way to get the photos from your camera to the cloud without a computer or an iPhone. Some cameras or accessories may offer an internet connection. If you have one that does, consider services like Dropbox and Google Photos (Apple's iCloud Photo Library is cloud-based, too, but it requires an iPhone or Mac).
Start by transferring the photos from your camera or SD card onto the service you chose. Then install the app for the cloud service you use on your iPhone, download the photos, and transfer them to the iOS Photos app.
It's not quite as simple or elegant as using an adapter, but if you like the security of having your photos backed up in multiple locations — on SD card, in the cloud, and on your iPhone — it's a good option.
