Removing the barrier of local storage while in a Wifi-covered area would be an extremely potent option for any digital photographer to draw upon. You could have your memory card for locations where you didn't have Wifi, but in local zones (say, shooting in your backyard or home), effectively unlimited storage.<br /><br />"Sanyo Japan has today posted a press release about their development of a prototype wireless network digital camera. In parallel they are also demonstrating this prototype at NETWORLD + INTEROP 2002 TOKYO. The prototype camera is based on the 1.5 megapixel DSC-SX560. This camera is designed to be used with an IEEE 802.11b (11 Mbps) wireless CompactFlash card for connection to both public wireless as well as private indoor wireless LAN. The camera includes a TCP/IP stack and can be configured to upload the image immediately to a server on the wireless network. Public 802.11b networks are starting to become a reality both in Japan and other parts of the world."

In August 1999, WECA founding members 3Com, Agere, Cisco, Intersil, Nokia, and Symbol united to promote the adoption of globally accepted standards for high-speed, wireless local area networking based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) specifications. Wi-Fi products built to this standard operate in the 2.4 GHz radio band. Unified support of this standard facilitates the rapid deployment and adoption of these products to ensure global, broadband, wireless connectivity across the enterprise, small office, public access, and home markets. The first round of Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 5GHz IEEE 802.11a products will be released in the near future.
