Why not their high-end cameras?
- axod 16y agoI don't think serious photographers want a button on their camera body labelled "Facebook this!"
- ojbyrne 16y agoBut they probably do want "post to flickr/smugmug/etc."
- axod 16y agoI disagree. I certainly wouldn't buy a serious camera that tied me to any one online service. Definitely put that stuff on cheapy kids cameras, but not on better cameras.
- olefoo 16y agoThey want that in their editing software, but even if high-end cameras start getting a screen as good as the iPhone4; most pros are very careful about what they make public.
- scott_s 16y agoI doubt professional photographers would want that. But I can imagine they would want a "auto-backup to a secure account."
- ojbyrne 16y agoMany high-end cameras are bought by "prosumers," not professionals per se.
- jseifer 16y agoI'm guessing that most professionals would probably want to do post processing of the photos before uploading them.
- anamax 16y agoPublishing != uploading. Uploading can get images to durable storage, so they can't be lost. Uploading can also make images available to co-workers. Yes, the shooter can do the upload after the fact, or interrupt, but automatic/loose-real-time means that it happens reliabily and in a timely fashion. The alternative is an assistant.
- glower 16y agoAll their cameras should communicate, but where they're under attack, where their lunch is going to get eaten if they don't do something soon, is at the low end.
- rlpb 16y agoThey can already, although only Wi-Fi: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/wft/wft-e2/index.html http://web.canon.jp/imaging/wft/wft-e2/index.html
