I think you guys are thinking wireless as in cellular telephone. But what it is is a wireless network device that can couple an event photographers camera to the laptop his assistant is using to print pictures with. Making it easy to sell them seamlessly. Think Santa Photos, think Prom Photos, think Little League Photos, think Dave Brooks's horse photos.

Yes, I guess someone somewhere is making a WiFi Satellite Phone that you could send the stuff out directly with. But in today's world you may be looking a smart bomb down your neck if you did that. But I would guess that the Nikon D2H WiFi transmitter is not intended for photojournalists.

Hi Cory,
The Nikon D2H can do something like that. It can mount a grip
for wireless transmission of the data (I guess also through the
net). Useful for PJs for sure.

Most of the PJs I talked to didn't exactly like this feature. And I
wouldn't like it as well! I think the only person liking it would be
the picture editor! But the poor photographer would get even more
delegated to an "accessory" - imagine being directed how to shoot by
the editor talking to him on a headset or mobile phone!
