I think if u read Dpreview, the new firmware has some new transfer options which include remote control... speculation is that it might be wireless USB or even wifi... I think the camera already has something built-in which would allow this take place... I think another speculation is that Minolta may release a USB wireless transmitter that can be attached to the camera's USB port and it can communicate with the PC that way.... not sure what it is... all speculation now but the stuff that is in the new firmware (I think it's under transfer options or something equivalent) is highly interesting! :thumbsup:

There is another PTP section which seems to control transfer protocol... according to what I understand what some forummers in Dpreview said, it's likely to be some protocol for wireless communication... at present the tethered mode is already a reality with this firmware upgrade... maybe the next upgrade may see a wireless option with some necessary purchases....

'technically' every camera can do wireless... the only thing they need to do is which set of protocol to use, den which brand of wireless system they incorporate, den use the appropriate hardware... and the firmware that can activate the wireless from the camera side, and then the software from the pc side... viola..
but, its going to be tedious, and very expensive, esp if not much ppl will buy it, dun expect it to be free thou...
i think they have done a great job with the new firmware, and to get a free transfer software is good enough.. to get a capture software (now i know y its called transfer & not capture) i guess its going to cost us money like the nikon system.

Nah, simpler, Use Dimage Transfer tethered to a wirelessly networked lappied in a haversack. Assign to put the images into a folder that is shared on the network, or if the network is stable enuff, just assign it to save onto a network folder (in the base station's work station). And go shoot. The people at the base station will retrieve the through the network, and do watever you want with it, for example put it into a slide show. With such a setup, the organiser of a function can actually have a slideshow running showing the function almost real time. Just make sure the lappie don't hibernate when the cover is closed.
DCA is right... how many of us here will pay for a wireless system? Do we need it? Maybe if u do studio work but what is so hard about pressing a remote cable button... the way I see it, Minolta can easily make a transceiver that attaches to the USB port, and then make a partner for the PC. Once they decide which protocol to use, I think that's it. We have a completely remote system - can transfer files and take pics remotely.
And if you are ****** rich, imagine 7D + dimage transfer on one of these:
OQO
or a
Sony VAIO VGN-U50

Hiee Flare...thanks for triggering this thought....Flare said:
Not realizing thnat i can actually preview pics vis PDA with direct connection to the Camera...larger LCD.....!!! - juz for fun type of thing....
Remote storage don't work as there is a need for specific protocol on the PDA.
