Cameras that integrate well with phones already exist. I have a Sony camera that can:
* Wirelessly transfer images to my phone using wifi-direct.
* Do so with a tap, as it has an embedded NFC tag.
* Be remotely controlled by my phone, including a laggy but usable viewfinder display on my phone screen. This mode also automatically transfers pictures taken to the phone.

- stevep98 10y agoI find the wifi connectivity between Sony camera and my iPhone quite painful, mostly down to the fact that it creates its own wifi access point that my iPhone must switch to. Why can't it just connect to my home access point (so it can reach my iMac, and the cloud)
- danaliv 10y agoMy Fuji works this way too. It's maddening. And the only reason I need to transfer anything to my phone in the first place is to make up for deficiencies in the camera.
- jdmichal 10y agoRequiring an access point doesn't work in the field.
- stevep98 10y agoNot sure why not, ... my iPhone can be an access point.
