The Crossroads of my Digital Things

Why digital cameras still sucks

with 2 comments

I’m at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Right now, I’m listening to Douglas Rushkoff. I shoot a photo with my Canon G10. Of course I wanted to be able to write the name of the person on the image and send it directly to Flickr. This is easily done with the iPhone, but the image quality in complex light is not that good on mobile phones. Please give me social features on my digital camera!

The iPhone version below is shoot in the app “mobile photos” and uploaded directly to Flickr, with added title and tags…

I will uppdate this post with the G10 photo during the day. I have to listen to Anssi Vanjoki from Nokia now. He is talking about ‘location’ – my favorite word right now…

Update!

The corresponding photo from my Canon G10, with the flash turned off:

  1. Not to mention that most digital cameras can’t connect to wiFi. I would like to have my camera automaticly send the photos to an ftp, site or Flickr. Geotagget, tagged and all… that would be nice
