A dream come true for many a camera enthusiast. By camera enthusiast I mean enthusiastically buying and selling cameras. You've gotta sell your camera so you can buy this other one. But the uploads we see on this list imply other approaches. The putting of film in the camera. Which is known to put wear on the rails and lower their value. Or using these rechargeable chip thingies. Filmless cameras. They go right into your computer. Then the upload. Printing to monitor. Printing to pixels. Maybe we hope printing also on big fat paper.
