3:48PM Nick Broughall | You know, I don’t think most people care whether their camera has Wi-Fi or not. I mean really, it’s not that hard to plug in the camera via USB, or even take out the SD card and stick it in a reader to get pictures from the snapper to your computer. But there’s a subset of people who would find Wi-Fi very useful in a camera — and I’m one of them. More »
