Do you use any of these types of technology? I've seen the MS phone ads and the HP ads, I've looked at the Eye-Fi tutorial on going direct from camera through Lightroom to a website, and I'm scratching my head...
I'm just not comfortable with any image going anywhere or being seen by anyone without me having a chance to look at it and process it first, let alone decide whether or not it should be deleted.
So who uses this technology? People that don't know better? People who don't care?
Personally, I think it's terrifying that someone can take any image and publish it to the web without any element of forethought or discretion.
What do you think? |

I'm with you. I don't like the idea.
Having my phone able to send photos directly to Facebook is one thing, but having my dSLR being able to do it, is quite another.

| I think I'd never use something like that for anything that was perceived to come from my business. Perhaps personal stuff. But never anything related with my business. |

Not possible for me to do that according to the voters here at DPC. :D |

Why wouldn't you be able to preview and approve the photos online first before they are made public? That seems to be a pretty big flaw, but I guess that's just the sign of the times. Everything is rushed to market at the expense of craftsmanship.
I write this from my iDumb iPhone wondering how much Apple has cashed in by not providing a way to organize photos within the photo album and thus requiring a trip to the App Store for the fix. :/

on one hand, the thought of barely-tweaked publication might push you to work harder to get it right in-camera...
but i think that would only matter to people who know the difference in the first place.
i'm trying to see this from all sides. as a professional, i really don't like anyone seeing anything that i haven't edited. it took me a while to get comfortable shooting in situations where i would barely have time to preview images in-camera before handing off a card to a runner who would take it to someone else who would go through, pick, and edit my images. in that type of situation, i can handle a direct transmit from card to image repository, knowing someone is going to go through them before anything goes public.
as a person, i'm starting to get really uncomfortable with the thought of how anything you say or do can be instantly captured, taken out of context, and made viral. i was at a track meet, scouting out some shooting spots; some guys pointed out to me the area down-field from the javelin throwers as a place to maybe capture a "you-tube moment."
think about it. america's funniest videos is in its 21st season. from the start, they were inundated with thousands and thousands of video tapes that they had to go through. there's no telling what we didn't see. today, there's no filtering! thanks to google, you-tube and the like, anything that might have never seen the light of day now becomes part of the permanent digital landscape.
a while back i was talking to a coach about the difficulties of recruiting for a small college. he said the hardest thing wasn't getting kids, but keeping them. why? because in such a small environment, any normal growing-up type of indiscretion made on a friday night would be known by half the kids in the class by monday morning. the same mistake made at a school of 10-25 thousand students would most likely stay under the radar. he could count the kids he lost due to making a friday-night mistake and then feeling the need to transfer because they couldn't handle the monday-morning magnification. thanks to today's technology, it doesn't matter where you make that mistake - high school, small school, large school, out of school - it could be known to the world before you even wake up saturday morning.
i'm sure this technology is wonderful, especially when grandma and grandpa can't make it to the birthday party, or when you want to share your sunset engagement moment, but the cold, dark reality is that we are all just one click away from instant notoriety...

Anyone with a camera phone can do this. It's not like it's anything new.
