Raw files on the K5 are about 25MB, if you have 25Mb wireless service (i.e. monopolizing 802.11) that's about ten seconds per file to upload. > > I don't know yet. > Is it silly that I can buy a phone for so little that DOES share > photos and a camera for so much that doesn't? Hell yes. > I mean, what are 90% of us doing with any of these photos anyway? I don't know about you, but I shoot in raw, upload to a real computer, and despite appearances, throw out the vast majority of my frames. I then go through and process those photos to bring them up to acceptable standards. One big reason for my 25 year hiatus from active photography was the lack of ability to process them the way I want. I certainly don't want to dick around trying to process the photos on my camera with its tiny processor and tiny screen. > Could CanNikon and the rest NOT really understand this? I suppose that it would be a good feature for people who buy a DSLR and use it like a point and shoot. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
