From the burrows of my brain flows a fresh design idea. Hey Canon, feel free to implement:
So, you know how when you’re taking a picture with a group of people and the person who was elected to take the photo has to take it 12 times with 12 different cameras? Why don’t they make it possible to simply beam the photos between cameras. That way, only one photo needs to be taken, and it can be beamed to all the others.
Or! What if you could simply send a photo to someone directly from the camera. On board email? Should be easy enough…photos need not be sent in the moment, it could happen as soon as you dock the camera to your computer. This would simply help with the whole “Now, who did I say I’d send pictures to? And which ones were they” problem.
Anyway, just some ideas.
One response to “Sharing Photos”
I like it, although I’d be happy if people would just be willing to have a photo (manually) e-mailed to them instead of insisting that their camera be used. I’m not convinced the ‘Now, who did I say I’d send pictures to?’ is that big of a problem. Put them all on flickr and let the people download the ones they want.
But speaking of beaming… I’ve always wanted to be able to call mobile phones just by pointing my mobile phone toward them and hitting a button. Nobody seems to like this idea but me. Maybe because the idea of calling or receiving calls from strangers doesn’t appeal to anyone else.
