Not really newsworthy, but encouraging: A few months ago I wrote about the need for wireless tethering, whereby your camera could discover transfer photos right into a tablet or laptop. (Today’s setups–e.g. setting up a portable hotspot while on the go–are too neckbeard-a-riffic to get mass adoption.) The customer demand is so strong that I’ve assumed that a bunch of hardware manufacturers have been working on solutions. Now I see that the Wi-Fi Direct spec is apparently inching its way towards shipping products. I’m eager to see what results. [Via Sean Parent]
teathering support form adobe is lousy….
[How so? –J.]
so why waiting for other companys..

do it right first.
even when it´s not wi-fi but cable…..
what i mean is the software support for canon and nikon cameras in LR for example. there are shareware tools who offer way better tethering support then LR.
i never use LR 3 tethering because it´s so bad.
in the end you can only release the shutter from within LR. something even i can code in 10 minutes, and im only a hobby coder.
to be more specific..
i do a lot of tabeltop and macro work.
my 1Ds is tethered with a cable to my PC (no need for wireless, even when it would be nice to get rid of the cable… sure).
i use DSLR Remote Pro from breeze and that set me back 170$ or so. but THAT software offers tethered shooting i would wish i had in lightroom.
more tethering features in LR that streamline my workflow are more important for me then wi-fi.
Wow, are adobe minions unaware of eye-fi? 😉
