Nearly 75 percent of smartphone users who also take digital photos or shoot digital video would be “somewhat” or “extremely” interested in the ability to wirelessly transfer photos or video from their digital camera to their smartphone, InfoTrends reports.

Furthermore, 68 percent of those respondents said that having that ability would actually cause them to use their digital camera more, the research firm adds. “Many consumers own multiple photography devices and the ability to easily transfer content between these devices will help encourage the viewing, sharing, and printing of photos from both connected and non-connected devices.”

InfoTrends’ Smartphones, Tablets, and Connected TVs: Changing the Digital Imaging Landscape report analyzes findings from a survey of over 1,300 U.S. consumers about their use of smartphones, tablets, and connected TVs for a variety of business and recreational tasks.
