Dream Camera & Editing/uploading software: Does this Exist?

[BeanDip4All]

dear expert and talented photographers,

I am adverse to technology and gadgets and electronics and hardware and software.

But I am mad about blogging and posting silly photos of my beloved nerd and woofer onto my website.

Most importantly, I HATE physically uploading my pictures from my camera (currently cannon powershot sd 600, purchased at B&H on the advice of a photog maggot), hate shrinking them all down to a size that i can post on my blog, hate editing them, hate uploading them to photobucket, etc.

Sooo.... is there some camera or program out there that will automatically upload and shrink my photos, and perhaps post them to photobucket or something of that nature so i can just throw them on my blog, not have to deal with this uploading and editing crap and just go on with my life? ideally i'd like a camera where you can press a button and it automatically shrinks the photo down to a medium sized (postable) resolution and wirelessly uploads it to photobucket. does this exist? if not- can one of you invent it? i would pay one million dollars for this.

as it stands, i have been subbing my shitty camera phone for my regular camera because it's easier just to email the pics from my phone to my photobucket account and then throw the photos on my website without having to edit or shrink them.

sadly, when this happens i end up with about a bazillion photos on my REAL camera for months on end, sitting there, not getting posted until i finally run out of room on the memory card and get pissed enough to spend five hours swearing at picasa trying to shrink them and putting them all on photobucket.

any suggestions for a lazy, untechnologically inclined person who doesn't really care much about editing or photo quality just wants to have fun posting pics and SIMPLE ease of use? please halp.

love,
beandip

well lightroom will automatically import your photos off a card or camera if its plugged once the program starts. you can set up presets to resize and any other modifications you might want. and there are export plugins (i think i saw one) for photobucket.

yes. iPhoto with the action pack will automatically resize your photos, make your predetermined edits (you need to be making the same edits on every photo) and then upload them to the web.

Pay them the $79. I will take the other $999921.

My buddy got this gizmo for his wife. She walks in the house and the camera automatically downloads all the pics.

Shoot in low res (640 x 480 mode) and you won't need to reduce the image size.

I think some cameras let you crop in camera.

Kind of neat video option. This video review gives its ups and downs. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camc...?tag=mncol;lst

Might be a still camera option but the review says it's a bit sluggish wifi wise and seems a bit pricey http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-came...?tag=mncol;lst

It would suck to realize that you only have a small version of a picture that you really like and you can't get a large print of it. Safer approach is probably to automate import/store original/resize for upload/upload sequence.

Picasa does most of the things you speak of. Import is pretty straight forward, you can batch process with the "I'm Feeling Lucky" which does a quick contrast and color tweak, and you can either upload to Picasaweb (which compresses automatically) then post to your blog or create a blog with the Blogger service in which case you just press one button. It is also free, so you can keep you $1 million.

Like Geomorph mentioned with Picasa, you can do the same type of things with Windows Live Photo Gallery (free also). I've used both Picasa and Live Photo Gallery and they are both great.
