Saw this app demonstrated on a tech show I was watching yesterday.

Check it out here

They mentioned on the show that this same company is working on an app for the Nikon.

The demonstration I saw they had the camera tethered to one of the little netbooks.
 
That's quite interesting - but not for me.  My 30D stays with me - not left in a place where I'd have to use some remote control to trip the shutter.  I don't think I"d even want to do that with our little point & shoots.

It might be just the thing for a nature photog, though.......
 
I didn't get the point of the demo either. I guess there might be someone with an application for it but certainly not me.

Tom,

What if you were monitoring a nest. You could set you camera up on a tripod and see what the camera is seeing, change the zoom setting or fire the shutter from a distance that wouldn't disturb the wildlife. Even from inside your MH if it is within WIFI range.
 
One more thing Russ's I-Phone can do that my Verizon can't. ;D

I know all about remote wildlife monitoring. There is a photography magazine that awarded first prize to a mountain lion photo that was tripped by the animal who took his own picture. There was quite a controversy about who the actual photographer was and should it have won a prize. I really don't think that one in a million photographers would use the remote shutter program. Way too much hassle to set up and very few people would have a real world use for it.
 
Jeff, but you can make phone calls in more places than he can :)
 
Answer to this same as other things,  "because I can"  Just ordered my Canon DSLR and a lens.  Waiting for delivery.  Have the rest of the stuff, given my prediliction for gadgets, I'll probably download the Lite version just to try.
