Transferring photos to the Nexus 7

[tabletnovice]

Newbie questions here:

I know you can transfer photos from a computer to the N7 via usb cable. I think it's possible to transfer then directly from a camera to tablet wirelessly. I don't have a wireless enabled camera but am thinking of getting an Eye Card. Is something like this difficult to set up?

Also, can images be transferred by Blue Tooth? I have a Bluetooth USB Adapter (2.0) that plugs into my computer. However, I've never used it, in fact, it's still unopened it's original packaging.

Currently, I've simply edit then upload images to one of the online photo hosting sites I use, then download those I want to the Nexus 7. Thank you.

Bluetooth, yes it's kinda slow but it works. You can use an OTG cable and hook it up to your camera and can import from that too.

Upload the pictures to Picasa, and just sync them to the N7.

Or install a file browser like ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer, and use it to connect to your computer or other network connected device via your local WiFi network. Then just transfer files back and forth. Much slower than connecting with a USB cable, but maybe more convenient for just a couple files.

Yes, I do this. It's terrific. Just tying to educate myself about other options.

Do I use a special program to import, or do you drag and drop?

There are so many OTG cables and the price are all over the place, from under a dollar plus free shipping (is this for real?). Any recommendations for this type of cable.

You can access them via the built in gallery app.
