Camera Share

This is so totally cool: in OS X Panther you can hook up your digital camera and turn it into a web-shared device where you can view pictures on the camera, control the camera (certain models let you take pictures), and download or delete files -- through a swanky web interface via web sharing and/or Rendezvous. Very kiff! I wonder if you could do it with scanners, too, as Image Capture controls those as well... although the usefulness of a web-shared scanner would be miniscule compared to a digital camera. It works with my Sony P71. I'll test a few more if I can persuade a few friends to loan their cams. Realistic usefulness: 3. Wow-factor usefulness: 10.
