Digital cameras compatible with OS 10.13.2

I don't understand a lot of what you've said, but there's enough there to give me hope. First of all, is it fair for me to infer from that that you have been successful in transferring photos from a Nikon Coolpix L6 into an iMac using OS 10.13.2? FURTHER: I'll try using Finder. I'm not sure about "Image Capture." I don't know where that is.

Okay, I'll try that when I get my reader. I won't remember what you said by then, but I'll remember that the instructions are here. That's one thing I like about this site. It's a permanent repository of information I have found to be useful.

I’m learning. I’ve ordered a card reader, and I’ve made a start here. Soon, with the help of YouTube, I hope to be “up to speed" about memory cards. Cards, card extenders, card adapters, SD cards, card readers, the list goes on. It’s confusing to a beginner, but I now think that most cameras, with the exception of DSLR, use SD cards, Thank God for that. I’d hate to have to search for the right card to use for each of my cameras.

So that's what adapters are for: adapting micro SD cards. What about EXTENDERS"? A clerk at Walmart told me that the card that didn't work for me was an extender. It looked to me like any other card, but I guess there was something about it that identified it as an extender.

"An extender board (or board extender, card extender, extender card) is a simple circuit board that interposes between a card cage backplane and the circuit board of interest to physically 'extend' the circuit board of interest out from the card cage allowing access to both sides of the circuit board to connect …

Oh, so that’s what an extender is. WHAT???

I'd just like to point out what is obvious to everyone else: compatibility with Nikon products is an ongoing process, now with thigamabobs, now with gimcracks, now with cameras. Studies must be made, actions must be taken, negotiations must be conducted... IN ORDER FOR THEiR PRODUCT, WHATEVER IT IS, TO WORK WITH PARTICULAR OPERATING SYSTEMS. That is the point of showing that article. It is just a snapshot of the work that Nikon, and every other manufacturer of products that need to be compatible with computer operating systems, can never stop doing. That's the way that they keep their products relevant. That's what they must do to stay in business.

Of course, my concern is only with the Coolpix L6 camera. I want to know what they did with it after giving it the same consideration as ALL of their other products that rely upon computer compatibility

You remind me of several things: First, I did find two programs for transferring from Nikon cameras (or was it all cameras?) to a Mac. I can't remember their names exactly, but I think one of them was yours. Anyway, they were "dead-enders." There's so much obsolete information on the internet that you can waste a great deal of time trying to find things that no longer exist. Apparently, those two don't. Oh, yes, well, I had to order a battery for my Canon, but when it and my card reader arrive, I hope to be able to download photos into all of my cameras. Thanks for your continuing interest. I'll give an update when I get the results, because that makes these sessions much more helpful to those who may read them in the future.

I 'm juggling so many cameras that I sometimes temporarily mix-up the problems and cameras. Let's see: (1) I have ordered a card reader. That should help me with all cameras. (2) I have ordered a battery for my Canon. Hopefully, that together with the reader, will be enough. (3) I have now successfully downloaded photos from my Sony with the cable. (4) I don't know about my Nokia cellphone. I don't know if cards or card readers apply to cellphones. Making progress.
