I can't imagine a device this crippled having a proper printing system. That's assuming they can get connected to a printer and all of the "lets go out of our way to cater to the crippled monopolyware" sort of steps are handled ahead of time. -- Unauthorized distribution of your work is going to happen.

Around the size of > SD-cards will do just fine Nah. They don't have to be that small. Something like that could be as large as a 2.5 inch USB hard drive. Something as big as a 3.5 drive would probably be pushing it. The smaller drives are still nice and small and have relatively low power requirements. -- Unauthorized distribution of your work is going to happen.

It really should be the other way around.

So I get to buy all of my devices all over again. It's worse than being a sudden Linux convert. [deletia] -- Unauthorized distribution of your work is going to happen.

Or is it that since they also come with USB ... for computers "crippled" by not having WiFi? > It really > should be the other way around.

"New Wireless Connectivity Canon is announcing the availability of the new WFT-E5A wireless file transmitter (WFT) exclusively for the EOS 7D Digital SLR camera. The WFT-E5A wireless transmitter offers professional photographers a wide range of digital connectivity options including IEEE802.11a/b/g and Ethernet, ideal for commercial and studio work. The WFT-E5A wireless file transmitter opens the door to new possibilities in remote and Geotagged shooting applications. Photographers can fire up to 10 cameras simultaneously from across the room or across the country while maintaining control over camera settings and remote live view on a laptop or smart phone.i The WFT-E5A wireless transmitter can also transfer and display images on DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible televisions and photo frames. Geotagging is now possible via Bluetooth, using compatible GPS devices to append coordinate data to the images." <http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedata/pressrelease/ 20090901_eos7d.html> > So I get to buy all of my devices all over again. Not likely, since the WFT-E5A retails for $600 which means that its for the grown-ups. -hh |
