    to sell more of the new Powershot G12 high-end compacts....

    Nice cameras, but if you already have a G11, there's not enough difference to take the upgrade path!

  5. Nikon D2H by Andy+Smith · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Bluetooth Digital Cameras?

    While not exactly the solution you're looking for because it isn't bluetooth, the Nikon D2H is Nikon's new flagship digital SLR for sports and photojournalism. It can transmit files by 802.11b. The camera itself doesn't have the feature as standard, you need to buy an attachment.

    You're looking at $5,000 for the whole kit plus lenses, etc. Definitely not an amateur solution but it is an attractive feature, especially if you're into sports shooting, and even moreso if you get a kick out of the idea that your pictures are automatically being transmitted to your laptop while you're still taking the next ones!

    But then, geeky toys aside, your lovely new camera would say Nikon on it and that would be a shame.

    Couldn't resist! ;-)

    If you're on any sort of budget then personally I think a $25 firewire card reader is a better/cheaper idea. You can take around 400 high quality JPEGs on a 1Gb card/microdrive, copy them to your computer in a few minutes, then start shooting again. Still, if you're loaded then I guess wireless is the way to go.

    Note that the Canon 1D replacement is due within a few months and it would be surprising if that didn't have wireless capabilities, either as standard or with an attachment. Price should be around the same as the Nikon D2H, maybe a little higher, but the features should leave the D2H eating dust.

  12. Re: digital camera anyone? YES AND NO by fferreres · · Score: 1 · on Photoshop for OS X

    Mhh...I'd suggest something like this which is well under $1000, and scans Film + Prints and has hardware dust & scratch removal BUT ...

    (and here is the bad part) you don't get scratch removal from prints (because the scanner needs transparent media for the infrared scan pass that detects the scratches). But then again, if you have the negatives it doesn't matter. It will always scan better and remove scratches flawlesly (much better than any Photoshop or software thing)
