That'd be the one built in, the way even my freaking *cell phone* has one built in, right? Oh, no, sorry, no such device, this is an Apple product, after all. > not a big deal. even better, > use the ipad as a wireless remote for the camera. Assuming your camera is wireless. Ours isn't. So again, to overcome Apple's inability to cope with even the most bog-standard interfaces, your response is to spend more money to fix a problem which only exist because Apple products have a fundamental design flaw, I'm sorry, I can't read any more of your posting; the inanity is being outweighed by the insanity and each, alone, just gets worse the more you write.

The same is true of many Windows users, comparing what they get for the price to what they could get with LGX, BSD and the like. It's almost like it's a status issue: "Yeah, I *know* I paid way too much for this, and if I want to get it to actually do anything, I need to pay still more... but isn't that the point, that I can flaunt just how much money I'm spending to get that level of functionality?"
