Don't think there are many. Not a feature thats especially common on cameras.

According to pricerunner, there are only 2:

Nikon seem to do a few with built in wifi though:

Cameras tend to concentrate more on image quality than gizmos like bluetooth. Bluetooth is also not the most efficient transfer method so I can see why it's something they wouldn't really bother with.

Quicker than a USB cable from camera to pc and then from pc to facebook?

7 seconds?

Not sure how you're working that one out. Bluetooth won't transfer it to the web, just to another device, which would then have to upload it to the web in order for it to display on facebook.

So lets say an average 6mp camera, full quality picture would be what? a couple of mb? .... you reckon you can bluetooth that to *something*, and then upload it from the *something* to the internet in 7 seconds?

You're better sticking with a phone with built in camera. They're geared towards this sort of thing. Dedicated cameras tend to concentrate more on image quality that gimmicks such as direct upload to facebook .....

I doubt it would be quicker. All it would require is a USB. Your computer would recognise the camera in a couple of seconds, transfer the pics across and then upload to Facebook. By the time you have paired Bluetooth and the files transfer at a slower speed then USB would have been quicker.

If you don't use it already, I would suggest using Picasa with the Facebook plugin. It makes uploading to large albums of photos to Facebook a breeze.

Forgetting the bluetooth transfer side of things ....

What upload speed do you think you're getting on your INQ1?

As far as I'm aware, it won't be any higher than 384kbps (current maximum you'll get on a 3g enabled phone in this country) in which case a 2mb file is going to take 40+ seconds to upload ....

On my 2meg cable broadband at home my upload speed maxes out at 256kbps!

Theres no way you're going to transfer a high quality 6 megapixel image through bluetooth and then upload to the 'net in 10 seconds or less on mobile devices! lol!
