Hello,

Is there such a set up where you could send your images from your digital
camera to a projector so that each time you took a picture, the image would
be displayed on a wall or screen? I can do this with a USB cable from my
camera to my laptop, but was wondering if I could do the same with a
projector and be wireless.

My idea would be that as your shooting at a party lets say, the subjects
picture could be shown on the wall for everyone to see. The photographer
could just walk around shooting candids and everyone could see the images
after each shot.

Cheers!
Dave

I think you'd have to do it via a pc if you want wireless, but canon have a
kit for that for the 20d and above

Alternatively have photographer carry PDA or tablet PC with USB connector to
camera, and transmit pics to the big PC.

Top posting free idea for Nikon et al:

You can buy a WiFi card for a PDA that slips into the SD memory card slot.
My Palm knows what to do with it.

It would be nice if I could slip that into my D50, and, say use a PC/USB
connection for configuration, then unhook and have the D50 logged into a
hotspot (nearby PC) and write images to the effectively unlimited remote
file system.

Batteries would be an issue, but that has solutions of its own.

Small matter of firmware programming and price/point product confusion :-)

some hi end cameras have built in bluetooth to signal the images over to a
laptop, and from there just plug in a digital projector to the laptop as the
second monitor. My kodak has a firewire cable, but I've never used it.

and of course you could 'sneakernet' your CF cards to an assistant to load
them to the harddrive and then show.

When I went to some dog walkathon there was a guy set up with a tent doing
portraits of pets and their owners, he'd shoot a few on a small card, open
the camera and hand it to his assistant who would pop it into the laptop to
show and print.
