Can't say personally but I found stacks of relevant reviews simply googling using WIFI CAMERA UPLOAD as my search terms.

As far as I can tell its easy to do what you want even on a modest budget.

Most tablets do not have sd card or usb sockets that can be used to transfer files from a camera. If you use a desktop or a laptop, it is much easier to remove the card and drag and drop the pictures into a folder on your computer.

However, if you are out and want to share a quality picture taken with a decent camera then wifi works perfectly well. The app usually allows you to reduce the size of the image to save data space when transferring social media.

I have a Nikon SLR with wifi and WMU on my android and iPad. Works well and I do no think it will be long before we see this even on the cheapest digital cameras.

You can also the app to take pictures by remote - cannot change the focal length on mine as it has manual zoom, but some can if they are motorised.

Is this the sort of camera you're looking for?

Not bad for £80...

The clue here is that the xx.97 price point is pcworld/currys way of indicating its a discontinued model !
recently tried to get that model my self ( forgetting about the above)
when driving to pick up reserved item they phoned to say they actually only had one un- boxed unit on display available , and did I want that

So good luck finding one now

I'm still looking for a similarly compact camera though - anyone know what the sony replacement model is ?
