Nikon Coolpix P5000

I don't have the right plug so I've been taking the SD card out and putting it into another camera that takes a standard USB cable. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason some pictures I just took were stored on the camera's memory and I want to get them off! Is there a way to move them to the memory card? Thanks!!

Most of the time it depends on the camera but most likely there is no way to transfer pictures onto your SD card from your camera. You might want to see if you know anyone with the same kind/brand of camera as you and ask to borrow their cord for an hour or so to take your pictures off.

The Nikon Coolpix P5000 delivers the kind of advanced functions, ease of operation and outstanding image quality the enables you to capture images ...

I have a Nikon Coolpix P5000. I have downloaded the software, but for the life of me I can't get the movies to download. The computer doesn't even recognise them. I can play them back on the camera with no problems.
Can I take the memory card to a photo shop to extract?
It's getting very frustrating, because I can't format my card.
Call me stupid, but I'm still a bit confused. I'm running Windows XP. I usually view my photos in My Pictures. I don't really use Picture Project.
If possible can you tell me step by step or direct me to somewhere I can learn.

you need a card reader.

High quality battery charger is a handy companion for digital shooting
Best replacement for the original EN-EL5 / CP1 battery pack
Charger is designed with a foldable A/C plug that charges your camera / camcorder battery anywhere in the world

I have narrowed it down to the two listed above. Would appreciate any help given on which is the better camera in terms of features/resolution/quality, etc...

I happen to own the A630 (which is identical to the A640 except for exterior colour and resolution) so I have a little bit of hands-on feel with it.
For image quality, they essentially tie, both picking up a lot of detail. It may be worth noting that the A640 produces slightly better colour at ISO 800, albeit, it's unlikely you'll use such high ISO. And also, the P5000 does not produce sharp, or 'punchy' photos with its default settings, so you may need to turn up the sharpening slightly; not that it doesn't pick up the details, just that it has very hands-off approach to sharpening and saturation.
For the bodies, the P5000 dominates. It has a large portion of the body made of metal. It feels very solid. As for the A640, it's made fully out of plastic, which of course, doesn't inspire confidence. Even though the fit and finish isn't bad, it does have creaks and rattles in use. Oh yes, the tilting screen. Of course the tilting screen is useful for certain situations, which is what I thought. I have yet to come across a situation in which I would like the screen to tilt. Of course, it's always there when you need it. Although I have to say it's not needed 95% of the time. I ought to mention that the P5000 has a command dial, which really helps to speed up navigating through the menus, which are very well designed. I hate using the menus on any Canon camera, they're simple, but they look hideous, and their naming system isn't always so intuitive. Such as their Tv, or Av for Shutter or Aperture priority, I don't even remember. The P5000 has a flash hot shoe, which I would enjoy. The funny thing is that the speedlight would probably exceed the camera itself in size. However, I find it useful that you can attach a speedlight for added power, and flexibility for bounce flash. I love using bounce flash. However, it's up to you to decide if that's a plus for purchasing the P5000. On the sidenote, if you decide to purchase a Nikon speedlight, you'll have to use that speedlight on Nikon cameras only, you won't be able to use it on any other cameras.
That aside, the P5000 is a real slugger. It's really slow in performance, which I found ironic because this camera is designed for pros looking for a compact camera, and pros are used to using DSLRs. I must add that the A640 is no speedster, but I believe it's faster than the P5000. I usually use a DSLR, so all compacts feel sluggish to me.
Both of the cameras allow for full manual, and semi-automatic modes, which is nice if you want to learn photography. But the P5000 would be better at that because it includes a command dial, making it feel more like a DSLR, but that's just my opinion. On the A640, you use the sluggish four-way controller to adjust the shutter speed 'n aperture. The A640 doesn't show you a light meter on-screen, which annoyed me, but I don't know if the P5000 has it either.
In conclusion, it depends on what you want, A640 has same image quality, faster speed, and tiltable screen. The P5000 offers a magnesium allow body, a flash hot shoe, command dial, and better user interface.
By the way, don't trust Cnet reviews on digital cameras, they're biased against Nikon, often times, without good reason, and strongly biased towards Canon and Sony. Their information is also inaccurate, I once made a purchase thinking that my camera would have a panoramic scene mode, to my surprise, it didn't. I would read both reviews of the cameras on dpreview.com since its information is accurate, and they test every possible aspect of a camera.
