How do I copy images from the camera to my windows machine?

At this time I just need to offload the pictures until the windows software is ready. I'm already filling up the capacity.

Dave, I am in the same boat... Aside from building a Hackintosh (often PCs running Mac OS X are referred to as such) I think we have to wait for the Windows version.
Hopefully we'll have a the Windows version soon1
I hope so. I don't even need the full client right now I just want to offload pictures
Dave, I'm afraid you can't, at least not directly. The only workaround I can suggest is to find a Mac, offload your pictures there, and move the resulting Lytro Library onto external storage. Each picture is about 16meg, so be sure and bring storage that is big enough to hold a Library of that size. For example, an 8GB Lytro camera, at capacity, will produce a library that's about 6GB.
Thx Adam - a well meaning response. But, as one of the 96% who use a Windows desktop, I am probably noy going to buy a Mac machine just to use a Lytro camera. ;-)
Best wishes.
Again, please push out Windows support, NOW.
I would really like to try to utilize this camera tech. Had $500 invested in it as a gift by someone. Am now considering returning it as I see the product is unsupported at this time, and has been for months. Even an end date would be good to know.
Even if the Windows app requires updating in a month that's fine, just allow Windows users to offload their pictures! Please?
any idea when ...?
now already July...5 months to go...tk tok..tik tok....
Yep still waiting for the windows version. I also have an Ipad and if there were an app for it I would be happy. As it is the Lytro sits in a box. Might give it to someone else.
Stay tuned folks. We still can't give you specific details but don't go giving your Lytros away just yet, Windows is happening soon!
I was about to click on buy, but then saw the Lytro is only Windows 7+ supported. Looking closer it seems it's not even windows 7 supported.
If it's not windows supported, does it have any wireless capability to send the web image to something? It seems completely pointless as a device if you can't even see or share your images. Especailly for $400. Can you please give a date when it will be windows functional?
The windows software is now avaialble online from the Lytros web site. I just ordered the camera but decided to go ahead and download the software. Software downloaded on my Windows 7 64 bit system just fine, now if I only had the camera in hand! ;-)
@Kat, the Lytro Camera is fully supported on 64-bit Windows 7 systems which meet our minspec.
@Hayden, thanks for the report!
