Samsung recently unveiled its this digital camera that connect to the Internet via Wi-fi. The SH100 allows photos to be uploaded directly to Facebook. So you don't need to use a conmputer or laptop to share photos on your Facebook photo albums. You can also directly upload your photos to YouTube. It also claims to be the first camera that connects to an Anroid Smart phone. The Wi-fi compatibility allows us to use the smart phone as a remote control for this innovative camera.

Sounds like one of those good ideas which aren't very practical. Open wi-fi connections are extremely rare these days, so I think you would still need a computer to make a connection first. Then, what about the photos that you don't want to share?
Your description is confusing - is it a smart phone or just a digital camera? Smart phones already have a camera and internet connection possibilities, so why a separate camera?

It depends of your country : all the wifi routers of customers of my provider -- 6 millions -- are opened to all customers as a free service. I connect internet with wifi when I am in town : in a restaurant or a street, I am always near an access point.
Where I agree with you is that it is already possible to do this with a smartphone by removing the card from the camera and putting it in the smartphone...

@petersum, The Samsung SH100 and the Smart phone are separate devices. The camera connects to the Smart Phone through Wi-fi.
When the camera is connected to the smart phone, the Smart phone can act as a remote control for your camera. This is useful especially in group photos where you want yourself to be included in the shot.
Not everybody has a smart phone so the SH100 camera found its use because it can directly upload pictures to Facebook. The Smart phone can just act as an acccessory.
I'm not sure if you can choose what pictures to upload
@topffer, Yeah. Wi-fi areas are increasing nowadays.
Youdon't need to remove the card from the camera. You can directly connect the camera to a smart phone using Wi-fi.

Now that's cool! WOW! Never thought digital camera can now connect to internet! Its really cool!
But I am now happy with my Kodak EashyShare C142.. It makes good quality photos!
For sure the price of that camera is too much for a kid like me.. Maybe you can buy it? HEHEHE!

hi edss, its just a new camera this 2011. Samsung Philippines has just recently shown it to the public. I don't know the price yet. I don't think I need to buy it because I'm already contented with my Canon IXUS 8.0 megapiel camera. I need to research more about the wi-fi camera. Good thing you're already happy with your Kodak camera.

My phone has a bad camera, but it can read the SD card of my camera and can use wifi or 3g to upload my photos online or send them. I sent some by emails like this. Removing the card from the camera and putting it in the phone takes less than 10 seconds, and I don't see the interest of controlling the camera with a phone when you have both near you -- difficult macro photos maybe ? --. It can be interesting to upload directly photos online, but I suppose that you can't comment them with the camera, so a FTP or webdav option would be better than a Facebook or Youtube option. It looks like a gadget more than something really useful. Just my view.

Having read that removing a card from a camera and inserting to a phone only takes 10 seconds looks conventional. Uploading photos from your camera I think is also great.
I found the use of uploading photos directly online using a camera when a person doesn't have a smart phone. This camera is great for lazy guys who want their photos instantly without removing memory cards.
