Good sensor, fast capture, point-and-shoot camera with Bluetooth?


Recommended Posts

My camera just broke and besides it being old and using a xD memory card, I want to replace it.

This is a BUDGET camera so no SLRs or anything but with a decent sensor.

Id perfer a common memory type that is easy to find.

I like to take some close up shots sometimes and I find that this camera has trouble doing it and it comes out shaky.

Fast capture: When I hit that camera button, it takes the picture. No delay.

Bluetooth. While it may seem idiotic, I can take a picture, quickly transfer it to my phone (which has WiFi and/or data access), and upload it on the internet because camera phone pictures truely suck.

Again, budget. I dont want to spend much on this.

Thank you

I use a Canon ELPH 300 HS for a point and shoot.. I picked it up for $130 a year ago; it goes for about $200 now. I think the newer model is the 310 HS, however its lens is only 28mm at wide (which kind of sucks). No blue-tooth, however you can use those Wi-Fi Eye-Fi SD cards for what you want to do with photo transfers.

Doesnt work with wifi and/or much more dificult. Bluetooth, although slower, will get the job done.

To be honest I have never, ever, ever seen a camera that supports Bluetooth.

What I do is just connect my camera over USB. If your phone supports USB-on-the-go you can just access all files from your camera straight from your Android phone.

There are two phones that might interest you: the Samsung Galaxy Camera (to be released in Q4) and the Nikon Coolpix S800c. Both run Android and with the right software you can just Bluetooth your pictures through. Both are great cameras as well, but neither is cheap.

Remember you're asking a lot of features for very little money. A good camera costs a lot, it's as simple as that. The fact that you want an exotic and probably nonexistent feature like Bluetooth only makes it harder. These two above are basically cameras with a smartphone embedded.

You're not going to find a whole lot of point and shoots with bluetooth.

Well, just last month I could have sworn I walked in a store and was just surprised on how much had Bluetooth and/or Wifi

I guess you'll have to go back to that store and check out what they have

Edit: This list doesn't seem accurate... The lumix dmc-fs42 doesn't seem to have bluetooth. Doesn't look like there are many camera's with bluetooth.

    • Or, it is Apple simply overinflated the screens.
    • Is it that easy though? WhatsApp is the default way the majority message in a lot of countries these days. I would prefer Signal to be as popular as WhatsApp and probably could get a few people to use it, most people are probably going to stick with WhatsApp sadly. Which leaves SMS or Facebook Messenger as alternatives a lot of people also have. (Here anyway, I know iMessage, LINE and WeChat dominate in certain parts of the world). It annoying Meta purchased WhatsApp all those years ago.
    • Do they tell Google not to scrape their content via something like robots.txt? Do they specify anywhere that certain agents aren't to scrape? If not, tough. Plus there's no obligation on anyone's part to adhere to any directives that might be in this file anyway...
    • DMDE 4.3.5.823 Beta by Razvan Serea DMDE is a software designed to effectively recover lost data. It retrieves files and folders swiftly and stores them in the user-defined location. It is an easy to use yet powerful tool that will assist both novice and experienced users in getting back lost files in just a few simple steps. Free Edition includes all basic features but a single recovery operation recovers up to 4000 files in the current panel only (you should first open a subdirectory in the current panel and then recover files in the panel). In paid licenses there is no this restriction, and recovery of nested directories is allowed. Can paid versions recover more files than the free version of DMDE? If a file cannot be recovered in the DMDE Free Edition (or it is damaged after recovery) the same will occur in the paid versions. DMDE paid versions are capable of recovering the same files. The only difference is that paid versions can recover all found files in one go, as well as restore the directory structure presented in the free version. Professional Edition provides additional features: rights to provide data recovery services portable use on different computers one-time activation on client computers (including remote use) data recovery reports (include logs and file checksums) read support for E01 disk image files using logs when copying a disk (resume copying, multiple passes) customizable I/O handler script recovery of NTFS alternate data streams DMA access in DOS (for ATA interface) DMDE key features: Portable run without installation Support for NTFS, FAT12/16, FAT32, exFAT, ReFS, Ext2/Ext3/Ext4, btrfs, HFS+/HFSX, APFS Thorough FS and Raw scan, FS reconstruction for data recovery in complex cases Simple partition manager for express search, diagnostics, and restoration of partitions Disk cloning and disk image creating, including I/O error handling, reverse copying, and other features RAID constructor for virtual RAID reconstruction supporting levels RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-4, RAID-5, RAID-6, delayed parity, custom striping, JBOD/spanned disks; automatic calculation of RAID configurations Cluster map to investigate file allocation Disk editor compatible with the most recent Windows versions which allows viewing, editing, and navigating through different disk structures using built-in and custom templates NTFS tools to work bypassing NTFS driver (copy, delete file, create, repair directory) Support for various device I/O interfaces and settings to work with damaged devices, disk images, NTFS compression and encryption, national names, large disks, large files, large sectors, and other features DMDE 4.3.5.823 Beta changelog: Expanded built-in signatures for RAW search functionality Added file list export to HTML format (DMDE Professional Edition only, view sample) Improved handling of I/O errors with selective skipping by error code Enabled preview support for additional image (graphic) file types (Windows only) Improved extfs reconstruction when copies of superblocks with group descriptors are found Fixed potential hang during Btrfs volume reconstruction Resolved issue with cluster list creation when subfolders are present Other improvements and fixes Download: DMDE 64-bit | 2.4 MB (Free, paid upgrade available) Download: DMDE 32-bit | 2.0 MB Link: DMDE Home Page | DMDE Manual | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
