DSLR Camera Remote v1.1 Hits App Store – iPhone World Domination Closer than Ever

    Version 1.1 of OnOne’s DSLR Camera Remote for iPhone and iPod touch is finally available at the App Store.

    The what? CrunchGear’s Devin Coldewey explains, “…this is an app that lets you control and shoot your DSLR [digital camera] from afar, pretty much controlling every aspect of the shot and getting a live preview…”

    Today’s release (which was supposed to come out in mid-July) adds support for Nikon cameras and includes a bunch of new features and fixes.

    According to Charlie Sorrel of Wired Gadget Lab, “The full version DSLR Camera Remote is $20, much cheaper than the dumb-remotes both Nikon and Canon will sell you. There is also a $2 Lite version which lacks many controls and Live View, but will trigger the camera.”

    The flurry of media attention around DSLR Camera Remote over the last few months points to something larger than news about yet another popular iPhone remote control app. It’s sign that that the iPhone has really become the all-purpose mobile device. And we’re just beginning to see the effect of Apple’s dominant app store.

    We’re not trying to break any hearts here, but other app stores don’t stand a chance. Without Apple’s app audience and ecosystem of app developers, other handsets are really nothing more than feature phones. Thus, Apple’s iPhone is the only handset with a future (Yup, we said it).

    Good luck getting iPhone users switch to BlackBerry–or any smartphone for that matter–now that they’re getting a taste of the only true mobile computing platform (Quiet you! We’re not talking about netbooks and laptops…).

      Hi
      Would you tell me if you are working on getting the app to work, without having to have the camera connected to a pc? Also if when it is connected to a pc, not having to have an Internet connection but only connect remotely via the wifi signal on the pc/laptop.

      Cheers

      Dave

        Hi David,

        Yes, you need tether the camera to your computer (as the camera itself does not have Wi-Fi). From the onOne website:

        “Just connect your camera to a WiFi enabled computer…”

        Have fun.

        Matt
