Nikoneye spotted a new US patent application from Nikon for “A portable telephone equipped with a camera.” Of course this is only a patent application which means we are far away from a real product or we might never see this in real world at all.
But the idea is quiet simple and something that in my opinion should have been done earlier. This camera would be fully connected to internet. In this specific patent Nikon shows how you can directly send images per email. Such a camera might be also able to directly post your pictures on social networks like Instagram.
Physically the camera has a “send and receive button” plus LAN status LEd’s.
To me it’s obvious that any camera maker should make cameras with built-in social network connection. Why do we always have to transfer the images to our phone or laptops to be able to share them?
