Anyone have experience with any digital camera, compact preferably, 
that can wirelessly transmit pics to a Macbook (or any desktop)? Say 
you take a shot and you are near your own computer, is it simple to 
then open the file on your computer screen?

iOS devices (the ones with built-in cameras) can do that.

not without going through the cloud, which may not be available,
particularly on an ipod touch or wifi-only ipad.

for the devices that have cellular, they need an active data plan and
it burns through data, which costs money.

there are several cameras that can send photos directly to another
computer, no cloud or data plan needed. there is also a wifi sd card
that can add wifi to existing cameras.

That is what I am interested to hear about. Would all you boys who 
have them *please* come to the front of the class where I can see you 
clearly.

eye-fi card works with many cameras, quite possibly ones you already
own.
<http://www.eye.fi/>

nikon has a few wifi adapters, ranging from outrageously priced:
<http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Wireless/27046/WT-5A-
Wireless-Transmitter.html>

to just a little overpriced:
<http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Wireless/27081/WU-1a-
Wireless-Mobile-Adapter.html>

some newer cameras have wifi built-in, but i haven't used them. 

the way they work varies, from linking to an online service (stupid) to
direct to a computer (smart).

It requires the camera has Eye-Fi specific support in its software.

For my Nikon, it only works when the Eye-Fi card is in the first slot
although the Nikon's software allows me to turn on the Eye-Fi card when
it is on second slot.

In second slot, the Eye-Fi will turn on, but doesn't get "triggered" to
send images to the iPhone when a picture is taken, so there is no way to
cause it to transfer images. This only happens when it is in Slot 1.

no it doesn't.

it helps but it's not required.

it works in cameras that predate the eye-fi card.

If you are "near your own computer" then you may well have WiFi, which 
might mean that iCloud is available.  But maybe you don't need iCloud.

I e-mail photos from IOS to my Mac sometimes, but I could use the
(much slower) WiFi sync.

I use the "Photo Transfer App" to move post processed images from my 
Mac to my iPad which I use as portfolio. For other exchanges between 
iDevices, iMac, and MBP I use Dropbox and Pogoplug.

going from camera to computer directly over wifi will always be faster
than going camera to icloud to computer over the same wifi. 

at a minimum, it's twice as long (up, then back down), but in reality,
it's much longer because icloud may not send the changed notification
to the computer right away.

or icloud could be down.

Yes, thanks. I was thinking of dedicated pocketable cameras. But you 
are right, of course, that is one way to go.  

Apart from nospam's excellent points about via the cloud, I would be 
loathe to give up my tiny flip top Samsung E1150 which is just a phone 
and so very pocketable. It feels the right shape and size for talking 
into (unlike big rectangular smart phones). It even feels nice closed 
- doubles for me for worry beads.

My ideal would be a fliptop or tiny phone with an excellent camera 
that could wifi its images to my Mac.

Perhaps what I really need in life is a complete slave to do all this 
stuff for me. Pass me the G11, Jeeves. Get that picture of the 
mountain in the mist I took in Bali on my Cybershot onto my Mac's HD, 
Jeeves!

there are many benefits to having a slave. for instance, you can make
them lug the big heavy cameras, lenses, tripods and computers on hikes.
the bigger the mountain, the more important this becomes. another
advantage is you can make them clean the bathrooms. you can no doubt
think of others...

And there are compacts that take Wi-Fi SD cards, starting ~$25...

We need more information.
What type of images are you talking about?
What quality camera are you in need of?

If you have a camera which uses an SD card you might first consider an 
Eye-Fi card. That is less expensive than buying a new camera or even 
one of the proprietary Wi-Fi transmitter accessories.
< http://www.eye.fi >

Then  there are good cameras made by some of the well known 
manufacturers such as Nikon & Canon. Sometimes the implementation as 
with the Canon example might best be described as odd. Some require a 
transmitter accessory

Thanks. I was wondering what any of you might actually have that you 
were happy with. As for type of camera, I was happy to hear about your 
milage. 

Me, apart from film cameras, I have a couple of digital cameras, one 
an old Cybershot compact, and a Canon G11. The cybershot is terrific 
in that, plugged into USB on my Mac, it comes up as a disk and, from 
there, it is easy enough to grab whatever. The Canon is more devious, 
a program comes up, and you manipulate what you want from there (in 
other words it is not simple Finder work). Neither is rocket science 
but I have this idea that it would be nice to have a camera near your 
Mac and see what is on it on your Mac screen and grab what you want 
without fiddling with plugs and cables. Grab? Download, transfer it to 
the HD of the Mac.

As for any camera that did this that *I* might buy, it would have to 
be something small and easily pocketable (unlike my very fine G11). 
The Canon and Nikon, even Lumix has some features along this line. 
Maybe one of you lot have experience with such and can tell me your 
impressions. 

I don't mind how complicated the set up (please remember, I solved The 
Desert Problem, took me ages but I did it and I did it my way) but I 
want it to be dead simple to actually use otherwise might as well 
stick to usb cables!

Get an Eye-Fi card for your G11. I shoot a Nikon D300S, a G11 and 
occasionally with my iPhone.

I can get 

Mobi 8GB
memory card
$49.99

to replace the present 4GB. 

Not bad, thanks for the suggestion.

You got one, ie. an Eye-Fi card?

If you shoot RAW and want to Tx RAW files to your Mac the Mobi is not 
the way to go. It is the simplest set up but does have some limitations 
when compare with the Pro X2.

Thanks. Sounds like the 8GB above does not upload anything directly to 
a computer (as distinguished from a iPhone, iPad or Android device). 
What is so *relevantly* special (apart from size) of raw? 

I see it does not work with home or office WiFi. I would want this. 
So, if I think it worth it for my G11, I should get the one you 
mention.

I am wondering what capabilities the very pocketable cameras have in 
this regard? For example, can one use one's high speed home or office 
wifi? Will look into it. Perhaps if someone has one of these they will 
speak up and be forthcoming about the whole thing. I will certainly 
investigate the matter before buying my next digital.
