New app turns your iPhone into a remote shutter

If you are a digital Photographer, Canon is your current flavor of DSLR, and you happen to have an iPhone then there is good news for you!

Someone has figured out a way to use the iPhone as a remote shutter switch for Canon's latest line up of DSLRs.

The new App is being developed by onONe and is currently in the approval process right now.

The system does need a couple of items to work properly. It is not a true remote switch but a client application that talks to software running on a laptop or PC over WiFi. Your Canon DSLR will need to be tethered to the system running the software. You are simply remote triggering the software on the system from your iPhone.

Still this is very cool and will even include a live view for the DSLRs that include video capture.
