Spotlight on Wi-Fi Digital Cameras

Digital cameras are great photographic tools. They offer even casual users the chance to share pictures in far more ways than older film cameras and give them control of the creative process of editing and printing their photos. Unfortunately, these things take time and a bit of work with cables, card readers, and computers.

A Wi-Fi camera however can cut out quite a bit of this effort and time. Find out what they offer to help you decide if they're right for you. On this page, you can learn more and see a number of the more popular digital cameras with Wi-Fi.

So What is a Wi-Fi Digital Camera?

A Wi-Fi digital camera offers users the ability to do things a bit more efficiently. In essence they provide some of the conveniences of a camera phone with the higher quality images and photographic features of standalone digital cameras.

A Wi-Fi digital camera allows you to:

  • Download and save pictures to your computer wirelessly. No card reader or USB cables needed.

  • Transfer pictures to a compatible printer quickly and without wires or a computer.

  • Wirelessly transfer pictures to photo sharing sites.

  • Remote control of camera functions via computer in some instances.

  • What Do You Need to Operate a Wi-Fi Camera?

    The most critical thing necessary in order to use your Wi-Fi digital camera will be a network connection. A wireless home network or a hotspot should do. Buyers should be sure to read the literature on the camera to understand exactly how that individual device can connect and to which sites it will easily transfer photos wirelessly.

    Some Wi-Fi cameras will allow remote control of camera functions but certainly not all of them. Be sure you know which features you want, and which your camera can perform.

    What are the Disadvantages of a Wi-Fi Digital Camera?

    A Wi-Fi camera offers convenience but it does so at a price. These cameras generally cost significantly more than models with comparable features minus the Wi-Fi capabilities.

    The number of models available are also limited. Buyers have fewer options so finding the camera with the features you want, with Wi-Fi capability is harder to do.

    Are There Other Options for Getting the Convenience of Wireless Transfer?

    Yes. With the Eye-Fi Explore wireless memory cards users can upload their photos to their computer (even if it's turned off) or to a photo sharing site using their home wireless network or Wayport Hotspot location across the country.

    The Eye-Fi Explore also provides automatic geotagging. Of course an Eye-Fi Explore memory card will be more expensive than a traditional SD card.

    Another option of course, is to use a Wi-Fi enabled camera phone. Camera phones have improved in recent years but most standalone compact cameras, even those under $200 still offer better photography. However, for some people this is still a good option.
