> but then it sits there on an SD card in the camera. I have to boot a desktop, hope the USB connection works today [...] OR open the camera, take out th SD card [...]
Or open the app on your smartphone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.canon.ic...), connect to the camera through WiFi, and copy the photos directly.
We are apparently very spoiled with how smooth some things work on smart phones.
I want dedicated cameras to offer a superior experience. In stead it is quite bad.
In order to publish one should first disconnect the internet?
I have to put down the camera and pick up the competing device?
My absolute favorite annoyance with my cameras is the lack of charging over USB. After taking a good amount of pictures I have to guess if there is enough battery left to transfer the images to the computer.
Not that PCs or laptops offer very good charging power. This because there is little demand.
It seems in order to make the superior experience the camera maker should also make phones and/or laptops? I have no idea really.
All I know is that my phone has 100W charging. I can almost immediately return to the front. The camera does have swappable batteries going for it but that I have to remove it from the tripod to reload it won't win the war.
I don't know about Canon's offering... but Sony's is lackluster to say the least. On my A6000 (and possibly other older models), you can't import RAWs, only JPEGs. Not to add that manual connection to the camera's wifi is a rather "annoying" process, having to go into the camera settings, manually turning on wifi, going into the phone's settings/quick menu to connect to said hotspot, then open the app, etc...
It's just a plain worse experience to just some extremely good phones like the iPhones with pro camera apps
