[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 25355, member: 1746"] Is everyone forgetting about the Eye-Fi cards? Ok you can't take it out to a golf course and cover the whole thing I know, but it almost the same thing. I can shoot anything in my yard and have it go right to our laptop though my wireless router network. If I can find an open network outside of my house it will work the same way. (i.e. Starbucks, Mc Donald's etc) Ok, I'm not going to do a photo shot at either one of those locations, but you see my point, all I need is an open network, or the password to get into it and I have wireless up loads to my laptop. That's the only limitation I have with my card, the distance. I could have the card upload it to an web site and have the laptop download from there, but I'm afraid there would be a loss of quality and have not tried it yet. So the technology is all most there on a consumer level. A few times I have been on my phone with my blue tooth in my ear outside shooting something and Chris has been inside on the laptop giving me feedback on the shots as they come in. I find this very handy. If you think your "Tethered to a cord in a studio" all you need is a wireless router and one of these cards. For under $200 you can do this. Wireless routers are what $50 or so and the cards are $40 for the one that handles JPG only and $100 for the one that handles JPG and RAW files.
