Dave Winer, on Scripting.com, discusses a new idea he thought of called the social camera. It basically connects all cameras within a certain radius and allows people to share and collect pictures. The idea seems a little weird, but it is definitely possible. We already do it via bluetooth but like he notes, it is currently too slow. Even though a social camera isnt something I would invest in, I definitely could see others doing so. Instead of taking 5 pictures with 5 different cameras, a group can now take one pic and then transfer it to the other 4 cameras.
I do believe however, it is a little stalkerish and creepy. Think about it. Some creepy dude could be within your radius and your picture would automatically be sent to him. A little sketchy, dont you think? I wouldn't want my picture to be sent to everyone in the area especially if i dont know them.

i just commented on daves blog that i dont really see the point.. pictures to me arent that pressing of an issue that you need to share them instantaneously.. and i like when the same photo is taken from different cameras anyway bc you pick up things in one (like someone picking their nose) that you might not in another
