Hello all,
After lurking and reading on here for many weeks back in 2009, I purchased my gently used D200 and as a 'student level' photographer I have loved it! A retro-active thank you!

However as time has passed I have found it tricky to download images when I am traveling with no access to my laptop. For short trips I just was judicious in what stayed on the card and then downloaded when I got home. I found a work around for my ipad back in 2012 when I went to Australia and New Zealand and had over 1000 images.

I now have a Samsung Tab E and 2 week trip to Scotland looming in a few months. I have a cable that connects the 2 but the tablet isn't recognizing the camera and all the apps that come recommended for current Nikons seems to use bluetooth or wi-fi to transfer files. Unless I have missed something on my D200, that is not an option.

I had considered a card reader but am reluctant to carry an extra item if I can just connect with a cable and open an app to move the files.
So after reading through the forum on the D200 again, I created an account to ask....what would the Nikonites suggest?

Many thanks for your input and any answers.

You probably need one of these USB On-the-Go adapters to effect a direct transfer from camera to tablet.

Thanks for your response.. The cord I purchased and have already tried, goes directly from the D200 into the Samsung tablet... but it isn't being recognized. It appears that the cord you have linked to would have the D200 USB end plug into the OTG and then the OTG into the Samsung.. which is adding another cord to the link. Is the "OTG" cord you linked to somehow different in such a way that the tablet recognizes the D200, as I don't think mine had "OTG" as part of the description of the cord I currently have.
