[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pspilot:
I'm sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to take the time for more than just 2 quick sentences. First of all, I want to point out once more, that DSLR Controller and ShutterSnitch are hardly comparable. DSLR Controller is 'technically' far ahead of ShutterSnitch which has no camera controlling features at all. It doesn't even connect directly to a camera to transfer images. But exactly that is, what makes DSLR Controller so special and valuable. The basic feature of ShutterSnitch, transferring pics wireless to an iOS device is also available from every free tool that comes with the various WiFi-SD cards.

Now having said that, I have to admit that ShutterSnitch is just 'beautiful' and is working (basically) flawless, more or less from the first appearance on. It's kinda exactly as simple as a photographer wants it, and as complicated as good features require it. In other words, ShutterSnitch is just designed very well. Most good photographers are much more artists than technicians (which I think is nearly a natural contradiction in terms :)). ShutterSnitch just makes things easy and photographers appreciate that. I have to double 100% msatter's post #2676. Apart from the software side the iPad is just a nice device for photo matters. I don't want to start anything here (I use both worlds anyway), but iOS is foremost just more reliable than Android (as I have experienced it). I never ever had a crash, I never experienced an 'unexpected drained battery' or any other surprises. And all of that without a single worry of what I install and what not. No need to root (jailbreak), getting rid of bloatware, optimizing sleep modes etc. etc. As true as all the annoying restrictions of iOS are, the reliability and battery live is just great. You really get what you see - no more, but no less either. That is indeed a reason why pros are tending more towards Apple. But I still think there is a market for a good Android tool, especially since Andriod seems to 'come of age' quickly now.

Last but not least it's just about the hardware. I use an iPad4 for ShutterSnitch (didn't buy it for that though) and the display is just gorgeous! Not only the high resolution, but also the colors of the LCD and the size are perfect. It's just made for photography. And contrary to popular belief the iPad is not expensive. For photography you don't need more than the basic 16GB without 4G, but you already get a fast device with a high-res screen. On travel though it's different. I hardly travel with the 'fat' iPad in my photobag. For that I love the Galaxy 7.7. I don't think the iPad mini is only nearly as good regarding the display. The Android world has just a few nice 7" tablets ... but I miss ShutterSnitch.

For what do I use ShutterSnitch? Well tethered shooting whenever it's handy. Model shootings sometimes (though IMO it disattracts most models), alot for light painting and macro shootings. Especially light painting is a pain in the butt without a wireless monitor. Both my cameras have two card slots, one CF, one SD and you can choose the format for each card seperately. IMHO that's perfect for wireless tethered shooting. I store a RAW image on the CF for later development and a JPG with reduced resolution is send to the WiFi-SD. So I get quick results on the pad (roughly 1 sec.) and best quality for later with the RAW converter. The image handling in ShutterSnitch is also nice (i.e. the albums) to review or sort out the pics quickly. I don't use any of the social sharing tools or such. Probably I don't use most of the possibilities and settings, but some - and I never missed one. But I think that's the secret anyway to satisfy alot of customers: give them the choice! Nobody complains about 100 existing features he doesn't need, but about one missing he would need. ShutterSnitch has alot of 'fine tuning' possibilities and it's done with passion for the detail. Especially the latter is a key of ShutterSnitch's success ... well, that's my 2 cents :). Technically it should be no problem at all for you, regarding what you did with DSLR Controller.

If you really want to do a ShutterSnitch like app for Android you have to play with it. I figure you have an iPad and some compatible WiFi 'thingy'. I'm still convinced: if you do a equally well designed, fast app for the Android world, it will be recognized. You're right, for the 'pro photography world', including magazines, blogs and podcasts, iOS is the 'hole grail' in the moment. But that doesn't mean, there's no business in the Android world. Heck, if I would be Transcend or eyefi, I might even have an own 'ShutterSnitch' already. All their apps are really lousy or let's say, just too basic. People are twisted between the WiFi cards. A good software could make the difference (though I'm gone from eye-fi - fed up with their complications to setup the card, their server only yada yada yada and the usual 'my-eyefi'-crap I really don't need on the road with hardly coverage and small bandwith).

Jeez, I think that post is long enough. But I really love your work and tought for the fun I have with DSLR Controller (also the upcoming one with the stick) I owe you a proper answer :).
