It is a paradigm shift for event and news/sports photographers, especially those who use remote cameras. You can now have the shot on the editors desk within seconds of it happening (rather than minutes/hours with lost shooting time). And remote camera setups, combined with the recent live-view capable Pro DSLR's and wifi, allow you to have someone watching the camera's output and controlling when the picture is taken, totally changing the way these are used. Also, for event photographers, they are no longer tied to their assistant at the printer. They can continue to shoot and move around, knowing that what they just shot is already available to be printed and sold essentially immediately. > > >> Whether I actually have a use for this technology >> I'm not sure yet. >> But it's good to know that a cost effective >> capability like this is >> available. > > You admit you have no ready use for this cost > effective technology and yet it represents a paradigm > shift? > > Pull the other one, Godfrey ;-] > > -Brendan Godfrey, like myself, is not a professional event/sports photographer, who are the ones that benefit the most from this technology (Although it can also eliminate cabling in the studio, making tethered shooting tether-free). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
