People love smartphone cameras because they can be always online: within seconds of snapping a selfie you can share it to social media. Connected cameras bring you that flexibility without sacrificing photo quality.
Wi-Fi cameras will have internet access whenever they're in range of a router or a Wi-Fi hot spot, so you can transfer photos straight to your phone or laptop with no fuss.
The Canon 750D is one such camera, while the Nikon Coolpix S9900 also has GPS on board so that you can location-tag photos – a neat touch.
The Samsung Galaxy Camera goes one stage further: it runs Android, so you can use apps like Facebook or Instagram direct from the camera; 3G or 4G versions are also available.
The downside is that you'll have to buy a new camera – the connectivity you'll get is something to consider when you're thinking about a new purchase.
