I’m going to set the scene for you: You’re in a fairly unbalanced wooden canoe in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, snapping happily away on your beautiful DSLR whilst hoping you’re not going to fall overboard. The good news is that you manage to keep dry. The better news is that once you’re back on dry land, you turn on the Wi-Fi on your camera, move all those images straight to your smartphone, and post them to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr… you name it.

A camera with Wi-Fi, you ask? Yes, friend. It is the way forward.

Those wonderful creatures over at Nikon have just released the D7200, which is their newest APS-C DSLR.

This, from Gizmodo:

Nikon has brought the camera up-to-date with this upgrade. The camera uses a 24.2-megapixel DX-format APS-C (23.6 x 15.6 mm) CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass filter, which is now paired with the Expeed 4 image processing system. The new processor is 30 percent faster, and allows for considerably improved performance. The D7200 has a native ISO range of 100 to 25,600 for shooting in any lighting conditions and can fire off six full resolution frames per second (fps), or 6 fps in a 1.3x crop mode.

I don’t know if you’re like me and you don’t fully understand what all that means, so what I suggest is you go to Orms because I know they can explain everything to even the simplest wannabe photographer. They will probably talk you into buying the camera, in fact (that’s what happened to me with my last camera. They are very clever…).

But what really does the built in Wi-Fi allow?

It allows simple sharing and remote shooting via a smartphone or tablet running the relevant iOS or Android app. The camera will also be compatible with the new wireless ME-W1 microphone which is designed for videographers who want wire free audio.

You know you want one.
