Nikon expert Thom Hogan has some interesting things to say about Apple's announcement of iCloud. In typical Apple fashion, the seamless integration of users' Apple devices with automatically uploaded iCloud content looks like being a game-changer. Apple bashers will doubtless point out that it's not a new idea, which is true. But it's the execution that's important. Synced content that you don't even need to ingest is something the camera manufacturers haven't even begun to address, as Thom points out:
"Consider this: you and I are the first two people to show up at some spectacular news event. You've got a new D4, I've got an iPhone 5. Whose images do you think will show up on CNN first? Oh oh. That's not a good answer for the camera companies, is it?"
