Neat project, the one thing I still don't understand is how it's still so hard to wirelessly get photos on and off professional/prosumer cameras.

We had EyeFi cards back in the day, and I could configure them to (flakily, but given enough time, it worked) automatically upload RAW image files to a local FTP server while I was out shooting an event.

Years later, and a bunch of janky apps that mostly work with low-res JPEGs or if you fiddle with them, maybe RAW files, are the best that Canon, Nikon, and Sony have to offer first-party :(



My Sony a7iii can definitely upload to FTP by itself, JPEG and RAW. That is my primary means of getting images off of it. I would have appreciated if it did WebDAV though, then I could make it push to Nextcloud directly...


It is a strange market. There are some apps that include support for specific DSLR models. This one supports specific Canon and Nikon models:

Believe it or not, but I'm old enough to have used Eye-Fi cards back in the day and its shitty performance inspired me to hack away on this project in the first place!


Oh shit we're old now?
