How to upload pictures from my Sony Cybershot?

How can I just upload new pictures to my computer instead of all of the pictures on my camera?

• I have a Sony Cybershot and recently every time I try to upload pictures it wants to upload every picture on my camera not just new ones that haven been uploaded yet. I have Windows not a Mac by the way. How can I make it to where it doesn't upload all of the pictures on the camera?

• Answer:

  Put your memory card into the computer. Open a command line and run the following command: xcopy [source drive and path]\*.* [destination drive and path] /D /S /C /I /Y of course, change the drives and path in [ ] with the actual ones. For example, say your SD card is on drive F:, and your photos are on drive C: in a photo folder, then: xcopy "F:\DCIM\*.*" "C:\photos" /D /S /C /I /Y Of course, you can change both source and destination drives as you see fit. This copy command will only copy files that are newer on the SD card than on your computer's hard drive, which would include any files that are not on the computer. If you want to know what all of the / things are, they are called "switches" and instruct xcopy to do certain things (like only copying newer files). If you want to know what these mean, do a "xcopy /?" which brings up a help screen. Or google xcopy on the internet. This will work with any camera and any memory card. In fact, it is not limited to cameras only, but will copy any file as well as photos. I use this command when backing up photos from my conputer to my USD hard drive. I have over 50Gb of photos, and rather than waiting two hours for every photo to be copied to the hard drive every time I want to do a backup, I simply run the xcopy command, and it only copies new and changed files to the USB hard drive.
