Moose thus protetheth:

cameras all have WiFi built-in. Eye-Fi is SO yesterday. ;-)

But do you have the WiFi even turned on? Doh!


> 1. Cell coverage.

Oh, yes, I forgot. We have better cell coverage in the wilds of Iowa than
you do in California. (actually, this is true). However, placement of
towers way up in the mountains is still a bit sparse everywhere--even the
great mountain ranges here in Iowa.


> 2. JPEGs

JPEGs have their place. I shoot RAW+JPEG if I'm doing a turn-and-burn.
JPEGs are usually just peachy. RAW files for the stuff that gets turned
into art.


> 3. Using LR
>     I have never liked LR. I have it up to date 'cause it comes with the
$10/mo. and I am thinking of using its cataloging functions. The mobile
version seems OK, I guess.

I've been a huge fan of LR from the very beginning, but didn't care for how
ACR addressed Olympus files. That has changed and along with the tremendous
speed boost since Verson 3, it's highly usable and flexible.

my phone and tablet. I've yet to be interested in doing so immediately to
images I've just taken with some camera other than the iThingies themselves.

It has its place. I like options.


> 5. Some sort of hurry to have the images I've just shot, hours to weeks
away from home, available at home.

Only real application for me, right now, is for client delivery, or
facebeek postings.


> I've got the hardware and software, but not the need or interest. We lead
very different everyday photographic lives. :-)

Obviously. But that's OK. I choose to maximize what I have, you choose to
buy the latest/greatest. End result is that we both have, on occasion, been
known to make an image.


> Yawnnnn Moose

You've been staying up too late, Moose.
