Bluetooth Digital Cameras?

WebfishUK asks: "Pretty simple question really, does anyone know when we might expect some decent cameras with bluetooth built-in to arrive on the scene? I know there are a couple out there, like the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless and the Sony DSC-FX77 as well as all those camera phones but wondered if there where any others people knew about in the pipeline? Alternatively what about bluetooth adaptors that could be plugged into any camera with a mini USB connection?"

Imagne downloding the contents of a 1 GB microdive over bluetooth, that would take forever. Bluetooth provides approxamatly 784k/bits a sec transfer speed. This is terrible... even slower than USB 1.1

Lets compare this to USB2 which is widely used to connect digital cameras, we can get alteast 50mb/ps transfer rates from this. Which is reasonable.

Before people start suggesting 802.11b remember that this only provides around 3-4mb/sec which is not all that fantastic. Nikon have an attachment for the D100 camera which allows transfer over 802.11b.

I suggest using SCSI as a medium to connect digital cameras, after all most Digital cameras suppot the USB mass storage protocall. Gess what this is!! SCSI over USB! lets just forget the USB part and get pure 320mb/sec per channel speeds!!
