alt Hacker NewsI have never seen camera that actually did anything useful with the pairing mode. It's inevitably buggy and useless, also requiring a manufacturer's app on the phone.
That's why it's _still_ easier to just pop the SD-card and copy files. So even Apple had to add the SD slot back to Mac Books.
I agree, but your camera doesn't currently have Android either, so you're comparing current situation to what could be. The manufacturers could fix the bugs and make pairing more useful. I'd rather have manufacturers app on my phone than Android on my camera.
