iOS Camera Backup many "GroupXXX" Folders created now

I had an iphone 6 and just got a 7.  Before the folders being backed up were just "102Apple" and "103Apple".  Now I see on the new phone and latest sync I have over 100 folders. The original 102Apple and 103Apple but 100 plus folders with a single image in each named "group3", "group17", "group55", etc.  just a bunch of random named folders with one image each.  

 

This is bad because now on desktop when using picasa I have 100's of folders cluttering things up when all I needed was the DCIM named folders like before of which there were just two per phone right now.

 

Is this normal behavior and what would have caused the change?

Sync backups files from Photos the way they are organized in the system by iOS. So it's iOS keeps them sorted by groups. Not sure what groups you have, perhaps, by faces, places, etc. 
Sync just takes the files the way they are and uploads them to desktops.
