Just had a quick look on the Argos site Vic.
Uses a memory card so can be transferred to computer via a card reader.
It doesn't mention a cable to transfer but as a compact camera would either have one or you would be able to buy one quite cheaply.
A good price too, should be O.K for what you need.
Suggest that you Google the camera Canon power Shot Sx170 to obtain review feedback from other users.
