Used a couple of times to send stills (via mobile phone) to friend overseas. Would prefer to have this feature on my Canon 8.1 MP still camera however! Rob Tony Morgan http://www.camcord.info |

Made a bluetooth connection to a Nokia 6310i and a dial-up connection to my ISP. That worked after about half an hour of fiddling. Everything is supposed to be accomplished using the menu control system, including cycling through the alphabet and pressing "enter" to enter a URL or mail address. Very, very, very fiddly and as far as I could make out absolutely no use whatsoever. Except, maybe, to a die-hard gadget freak from Tokyo. Jake |

With Bluetooth limited to 723kbps, ISTM that you can't stuff video of any sort of usability "down the pipe". Sending stills, perhaps yes. I'm not into the latest gizmo mobiles, but it appears that at least some of the Bluetooth enabled mobiles incorporate a camera that (if the sales blurb is to be believed) can send video and stills to "friends and family" (aka a remote mobile). But on reflection, is Bluetooth required for this? I can only assume that the Bluetooth feature in (some) camcorders is something that a marketing droid thought up, with the idea of selling zillions more camcorders that have Bluetooth. -- Tony Morgan http://www.camcord.info |

I can only assume that the Bluetooth feature in (some) camcorders is something that a marketing droid thought up, with the idea of selling zillions more camcorders that have Bluetooth. On balance that's probably right. However, I have managed to send stills taken on a Sony digital camera (5 megapixel), then transferrred via memory stick to the camcorder (not mine - I don't have this "feature"), the sent via bluetooth to the phone and transported to someone in UK. The phone in question, Sony Erricson, does have cmaera built in but only 800k or thereabouts, so this somewhat contorted procedure has been of some use. I can't see it catchin on however!
