Coolpix S52c Ships- Another P&S to Feed to the Masses
In case anyone’s interested- Nikon’s apparently delighted to ship another Coolpix variation- the S52c:
It actually is pretty cool to have wifi integrated into the camera- I can’t see why it is that a $250 camera can have integrated wifi and we can’t get something like this built into the pro bodies. Most of the time, I want to send a couple of shots to a computer right away and worry about others later, I don’t need the full WT-4.
Also- does anyone want to tell me why I need the SU-4 to remotely control speedlights if a $250 camera can have integrated wifi? Why can’t get get wifi built into the pro bodies and get wireless radio communication with our speedlights via adhoc networking mode? Maybe Nikon could siphon off some of the money that would normally go to PocketWizard? Typical wifi latencies of 1-2ms would allow a sync of 1/500 - 1/1000th of a second if my calculation are correct.
This is the only camera store that NikonWatch trusts- never any hassle, gimmicks, or problems:

Damn good point - £530 for a WT4is WAY too much to pay for this feature, especially if transfer speed is not important.
