My Nikon Coolpix P2 has a "copy" mode in scene selection that is
specifically for copying text. I doubt if the P2 is still available,
but the current Coolpix models probably have the same feature.
This camera, by the way, has wireless transfer to the computer
allowing images to be uploaded without removing the SD card.
