Wireless Event Wizardry ...

[Digital Prophet]

Ok so this weekend, aside from working my butt off at the barn, I was fiddling with my Wi-Fi network at the house. And I was looking at the little "now that you have bought one of our products, look at what else we sell" booklets that was in the box. And a CF Wi-Fi card caught my attention. And that got me thinking.

Is there a way to use some sort of wireless networking to transfer images from a DSLR (like a 300D or a 20D) to a pc located elsewhere at the event? I was just thinking that would allow me to totally roam around and shoot and whomever I had helping me (because then I would need someone) could be sorting. post producing and doing contact sheets to start taking orders.

I don't know, maybe I just had a moment of techno-enthusiasm that was more science fiction than science fact.

Holy COW. I can just start imaging the kinda things I can do with Wi-Fi on a DSLR.

Hehehe, I just can't wait looking at the mess when dozens of photographers covering the same event will use wifi to transmit their images simultaneously on the same location.
If you're not too much of an idiot and fiddle around with your wifi-ed laptop, you'll get a bunch of great, not yet copyrighted, professional pictures for free... :mrgreen:
