Nice one!I don't quite get this...
How is it important to be able to export images directly from a D500 camera to social media? If this is important, simply take them on an iPhone and save £xxxx.
These are large image files, unedited and presumably NEF's, else not much point in using a D500. Not many files would fill a 'phone to bursting point.
To offload large numbers of high resolution image files requires a robust and fast connection. Even using a Firewire 800 CF Card reader it's a slow process unloading a full 32Gb CF card.
In what way is this improved using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with all the complexities and fragility that involves? I am all for innovation but this needs to be done properly, not using the digital equivalent of sealing wax and gaffer tape.
I can see some point in being able to control and make exposures, either from an inaccessible vantage point or some other remote need. It would be handy to be able to monitor star trail intervalometer sessions from the comfort of the car and other similar things like setting the camera up near a birds nest and retreating out of sight.
