D70 WiFi

by now, something should exist. how about a WiFi CF card w/ memory? A
wireless usb transmitter/receiver? Cmo'n you Digicam Engineers!

xD cards are small enough to swallow. If a drug mule can do it,
intrepid photojournalist, so can you! :-p

Aren't the data rates over WiFi so slow as to make that completely
impractical???

~50 mbits/sec is 6+ mb/second, which is nearly as fast as a Lexar 80x in a
1Ds Mk II. Sure, you'd have to be fairly close and not have much
interference to actually get that, but it would be a good start.

OK, that's reasonable. (I was thinking Bluetooth, which really is slow.)
Even with protocol overhead and connection infelicities, that's a few
seconds per raw file at worst.

50mbps is a ideal world value for 802.11g. practical
sustained rates would be more along the lines of
18mbps, or 2.25 mBps....

But Intel has declared WIMAX to be a success (despite the fact that no
certified hardware exists), so developers can start using it
immediately. :-/

Why not use the Wi-Pics kit?

www.photographicgroup.co.uk

It is bit heavy duty - costs more than the D70 of course - but it does
enable you to shoot direct to computer, store on a 20Gb hard disk belt
pack or two banked CF cards.

I've studied in action and published one single page, but fairly
detailed, report on the set up. It works.

802.11n is around 108Mbps

The Wi-Pics site is:

Wireless network bandwidth is not an issue as it buffers the images and
transmits them as the network is available.
