Comment on Fujifilm X half: Is it the perfect family camera?parent

Comments

you expect digital cameras to provide cellular internet access for free?

Unironically why not? With how much high-end cameras cost, adding a single-purpose data-plan on top can't be _that_ expensive.

The battery life of a camera doing basically constant uploads of > 10 MB images over cellular, potentially even in bad reception areas will be awful. It seems much more sensible to just offer a good wifi experience.

Kindles offering global reception back in the days for downloading a few kb of ebooks every few weeks are a very different game.

It could be done over wifi

But id really prefer Airdrop
