DSLR + Android smartphone + USB OTG = WIN

The camera on your smartphone has one huge advantage compared to most dedicated cameras. It's always connected to the Internet. For every shot you take, you can instantly share it.

For every other camera, how would the user get their pictures on the Web?

Typically, you need to get the photos from the camera onto an Internet-connected PC.

Usually, I import my photos to my desktop PC. It isn't a terribly tedious process. But imagine if I'm away from home and have just taken a shot with my camera that's so great that I feel the need to share it right away.

Enter USB On-The-Go.

Just bought a Nikon D5100

My Nikon D60 has served me quite well over the last two years. Alas, it was time for it to retire. With my kids entering the toddler years, I need a camera that can keep up with their constant motion. The D60 shot admirably, but I longed for something with better low-light and high-ISO performance.

Enter stage left, the Nikon D5100. (Google it for specs and reviews)

The camera performs brilliantly. Even at high-ISO settings, there's no noticeable image noise. For that reason, I'm able to set the auto-ISO's minimum shutter speed more aggressively, not fearing how high the cam will increase the ISO in low-light situations.

The result: Clear photos of a moving subject without the use of my flash. I love it!
