Every Camera Need to be As Connected as Samsung’s SH100 With Android Remote Powers [Digital Cameras]

Samsung’s SH100 isn’t the first point-and-shoot to have Wi-Fi, however it makes better use of it than most: You should use Samsung’s Galaxy S Android phones as a wireless remote and geotagger for the camera.

The Galaxy phone works as a real-time viewfinder and remote-though it’s not clear how much control you might have from the phone beyond zoom and shutter-and the GPS inside may be used by the camera for geotagging. The Wi-Fi also shoots photos back to a PC or DLNA-compatible HDTV, together with instant uploads to Facebook, YouTube, Picasa and PhotoBucket (no Flickr??). All of that’s awesome-and truly have to be standard in everyday point-and-shoots at this point.

The rest of the camera is middling, like the 1/2.33-inch sensor full of 14.2 megapixels, and relatively sluggish f4.7 lens (hello, noise). But, since you get all of these connected powers in a pretty $200 camera coming out in March, it makes us somewhat hopeful it’ll be the norm sooner vs. later. [ Samsung ]
