COOLPIX CONNECT: Email your Nikon

Edvarcl Heng | Mar 30, 2007

Alongside Singaporean telco SingTel, which is the third telco in the world that Nikon is partnering with to provide outdoor Wi-Fi access to its COOLPIX CONNECT service. For COOLPIX S50c users, that would mean that they can now openly access Singtel Wireless Surf Zones in Singapore, in addition to using private wireless networks, to send and store pictures over the Internet using just their cameras.

Currently there are two components to the COOLPIX CONNECT service: Picture Mail and Picture Bank. The first allows the user to upload pictures via the Wi-Fi-enabled S50c to a Nikon server before sending an image URL to other recipients.

But we think it's the second service that's a lot handier and would appeal to travelers the most. With Photo Bank, once you are running out of storage space and battery life at the end of the day, you can simply upload the pictures to a server with a Wi-Fi connection while charging the camera at the same time. By the next day, your camera would be fully ready for action. And the price of usage? A Nikon COOLPIX S50c because it's the only camera that supports the COOLPIX CONNECT service at the moment.
