I'm looking for possible cameras to acquire that support PTPIP with
libgphoto in order to test with my Entangle app. Any there any
recommendations of cameras which work well ? I don't care about the
quality of the camera, just that it be a good testing platform
for PTPIP support, and the cheaper the better. I see

http://gphoto.org/doc/ptpip.php

mentions a bunch of old Coolpix P1/2/3/4/5 cameras supporting PTPIP, but
then this page:

http://www.gphoto.org/doc/remote/

claims they only work via USB, not PTPIP. Is one of these pages wrong ?
Some of those old coolpix cameras are nice & cheap on ebay, so appealing :-)

Regards,
Daniel

Hi,

I made good experiences with Nikons.

The Nikon 1 and and the new Nikon DSLR series with Wifi.
(I dont have newer Nikon Coolpix with Wifi support to test.)
Both series offer also liveview over PTP/IP.

I did not get Canon Powershot over WiFi to work. It seems they do
something else than PTP/IP, some SOAPy protocol.

Ricoh Theta 360 degree camera also worked, but it offers no live view.

Ciao, Marcus
