    • Jim: This is the first Nikon camera to contain the SnapBridge technology in-camera.  Basically, this creates an always-on Bluetooth connection (Nikon calls this “Smart Ready Bluetooth” just to make sure there are enough marketing terms in this release) between a cell phone and the camera to allow the photographer to push a photo from the camera to a connected cell phone.  For me?  I’ll believe it when I see it.  I’ve tested the wifi from every camera manufacturer and it never works how it’s supposed to.
    • Ooooh.  And if “SnapBridge” and “Smart Ready Bluetooth” didn’t already fill your need for silly marketing terms, Nikon is also using the term “Advanced Smart Device Compatibility.”  Nice.
