6 months ago |What have been people’s experiences with the Lumix Link iPhone app? It seems like it would be a great street photography tool if paired with a GF or GX camera. Admin, any rumor of Olympus working on an equivalent app for the OMD and PENs?

I’m going to buy a triggertrap, used it with my android phone as a remote.
Jason
6 months ago |Ash, TriggerTrap looks pretty good at a reasonable price too – thanks for the info.
Let’s hope Panasonic continues with wifi controllable cameras (GX2?) so we can use live view on iOS/Android devices. Who needs a rotating camera back LCD when you can use one that’s already fully detached, your phone.
Given Olympus’ historic innovation track record, I’m surprised we haven’t seen more mobile device integration from them (besides the mediocre penpal).
