Chuck says Yawnnnn too. I don't have most of this modern stuff
precisely because I don't know why I would want to do all of this "more
modern" stuff in the first place. In a hurry to get my images uploaded
as JPEGs here there and everywhere? Well, shucks, most of my images
from a week ago are still in the camera and I haven't bothered to view
them in any device. Don't know why I'd have wanted to do it last week.
When I can view an image long before I actually take it... well now
there is something truly interesting.

I don't have an Eye-Fi card, for the simple reason that my five primary
cameras all have WiFi built-in. Eye-Fi is SO yesterday. ;-)
I have the latest LR on computers, iPad and iPhone.
Howsomever, all that apparently delicious syncing, which I COULD do, is
predicated on five things.
1. Cell coverage.
There is a generally true inverse relationship between my interest
in subject and the number of shots I'm taking and cell coverage, and
especially coverage that will handle uploads of images.
2. JPEGs
I'm just not interested in JPEGS, until I'm forced to use them to
display my images on the web. I don't MIND having them in addition to
Raw files, but I don't really have anything I want to DO with them.
3. Using LR
I have never liked LR. I have it up to date 'cause it comes with
the $10/mo. and I am thinking of using its cataloging functions. The
mobile version seems OK, I guess.
4. A desire to edit images I've just shot on a portable device.
I've done some fun things to images with the (too) many photo apps
on my phone and tablet. I've yet to be interested in doing so
immediately to images I've just taken with some camera other than the
iThingies themselves.
5. Some sort of hurry to have the images I've just shot, hours to weeks
away from home, available at home.
I can show those I'm traveling with what I've just shot on the LCD
and/or what I've shot that day on the netbook+ when I download them in
the evening. I have no other pressing (or wrinkled, really) need for
viewing, or sending, before I get home.
I've got the hardware and software, but not the need or interest. We
lead very different everyday photographic lives. :-)

With Lightroom installed on your smartphone, you have the ability to sync
the Desktop and the Mobile. So, as a for instance...
My Panasonic DMC-L1 has an Eye-Fi card installed. I shoot pictures and
can
either have the camera automatically upload images to my phone or do so
through my select and protect process. With that, the images transfer
from
camera to phone and from phone to Lightroom library. Meanwhile, the
desktop
Lightroom is monitoring and syncing to the on-line (Adobe storage) drive
and the images are appearing on the desktop as the images arrive.
Add "insult to injury", sorry, Moose, but I know this level of
modernity is
frying your brain, you can perform Lightroom edits in the phone and they
apply in the computer.
I'm perfectly good with this $10 a month expenditure. It's cheaper than
buying a new camera.
