It’s bad that in 2025, digital cameras do not ship with a way to automatically upload to Apple and Google’s photo libraries, for free, and clearing the local storage as images and videos get uploaded.

you expect digital cameras to provide cellular internet access for free?

Unironically why not? With how much high-end cameras cost, adding a single-purpose data-plan on top can't be _that_ expensive.

The battery life of a camera doing basically constant uploads of > 10 MB images over cellular, potentially even in bad reception areas will be awful. It seems much more sensible to just offer a good wifi experience.

Kindles offering global reception back in the days for downloading a few kb of ebooks every few weeks are a very different game.

It could be done over wifi

But id really prefer Airdrop
