So all the technology for this is already in place, but they havent made it yet.
Wireless remote control camera, linked to your laptop.
Scenario: you're taking pictures of keyboards in your room.
1. We already have Eye-fi, which is brilliant, which is an sd-card that wirelessly transmits photos from the camera to your laptop.
2. We already have remote control software for cameras, if you tether the camera to your laptop via usb, you can control all its settings and activate it from the laptop. Remote control. Great for studios.
So: Why dont they build eye-fi directly into the camera, and then expand its functionality so you no longer need the usb *corded* tether for remote control?
Wireless-everything on the camera. Remote control and transfer images, both. Wouldnt this be perfect for studio work?
And while they're at it, why dont they make it 3g too? We already have wifi/3g even on ebook readers. Why not on cameras? So when you're out in the field taking pictures, they just instantly transfer to the cloud or to your home computer. The "endless sd card".
Why do camera companies lag so far behind with technologies such as this?
