A Wi Fi digital camera offers users the ability to do things a bit more efficiently. In essence they provide some of the conveniences of a camera phone with the higher quality images and photographic features of standalone digitalcameras.
A Wi-Fi digital camera allows you to:
- Download and save pictures to your computer wirelessly. No card reader or USB cables needed.
- Transfer pictures to a compatible printer quickly and without wires or a computer.
- Wirelessly transfer pictures to photo sharing sites.
- Remote control of camera functions via computer in some instances.
The most critical thing necessary in order to use your Wi-Fi digital camera will be a network connection. A wireless home network or a hotspot should do. Buyers should be sure to read the literature on the camera to understand exactly how that individual device can connect and to which sites it will easily transfer photos wirelessly.

The Coolpix P1 also features built-in WiFi connectivity, which means that you can communicate wirelessly to either your computer or, through the use of an optional Wireless PD-10 Printer Adapter (sold separately), directly to your printer. This unique WiFi image transfer ability not only make it more convenient to off-load your images, it also permits a unique “live slide show” capability that is great for parties, weddings, and any other special occasion.
Honestly I had no idea that there was a little gadget like this on the market until I read a bit of news on this new Eye-Fi memory card. First of all just the fact that the memory card comes with a little Wi-Fi antenna in to pick up your hot spots is awesome in itself. I suppose this was the next logical step in the process of getting all our digital photos onto our computers and eventually online to share with all our friends and family.
