Mr Plum :
"Is there any way WHATSOEVER I can modernise my dsc-wx350 camera to send back to my computer, or load to cloud, direct from the field?"
Not sure whether any of this will help or not but it may be worth a read:
Wi-Fi Guide
Can I use a cloud photo storage service with PlayMemories Home / Picture Motion Browser?
Since it already has WiFi built in I don't know whether or not something like an Eyefi SD card would be helpful or not. Eyefi does offer a cloud service.[/quotems
Thank you for replying Ken. To put things in perspective....I'm on old codger coming late and reluctantly into this high tech world, so I don't really understand how wifi works and how to use it. Therefore I haven't got a clue as to what is possible or not! I know that I can download to both my computer and 'smart' phone 'Play Memories,' then transfer my photos from camera to phone then upload (or is it download?) to my computer - but what a fuss? I have done it at home with success, but will this work half way up a mountain (sort of thing!) I doubt it!
What I am after is instant uploading from my camera without going through a phone, either to my home computer or some cloud site; in other words, I want a particular photo, or photos, off my camera and safe....I have searched the internet looking for clues as to what the latest Eyefi can do, (as suggested by you) but without any clear indication that it would meet my requirement's.
At this point I am sure readers might be asking, 'why does he want to do that'? Well there is a reason, but I would prefer not to go there.... albeit a hate of 'smart' phones is a reason in itself!
