Does a nikon camera charge when it's connected to a computer?

Depends. But the majority require you to take out the battery and charge it in the respective charging dock.

No.

"And no, the battery charger that came with your Canon produces much more than just the power necessary to charge your battery in s few hours. It also prevents overcharging… Some even condition the Li-ion batteries. The USB data port on your computer only provides unregulated 5v power suitable for some devices that draw very low amps (under 500 mA… Most battery chargers produce charging voltages at nearly one amp). Perhaps most importantly, there's no connection between the USB port on your camera and its battery."

"I have not heard of any Canon digital camera that will recharge from the USB cable.

Anytime you have the camera connected to the computer and have the camera turned-on, it is running on the camera battery.

That is why many people use card readers to download their photos from the SD memory card. You can get a SD card reader for $20."

Nope, you'll have to use the provided charger. If you lost yours then you can get a new one from places like Amazon, Adorama, or B&H.

No.

The only cameras that do so that I'm aware of are some Olympus brand cameras.
