I think it has been mentioned at least 3 times in the past week. Try the "search" feature at the top of the page

I've read about it. I'm intrigued. So far, nobody has one. The FAQ page says they would be shipping last year.

On edit: I was wrong! The website says they've shipped thousands.

"Today's DSLR and mirror-less cameras have amazing optics and sensors, but they do very little to actually help you take a good photo. Finding the right settings involves a series of complex technique and formulas."

I am working on an app that will replace AI engineers like the guy who created this.

I have use a DSLR for several years and since I take a lot of shots in crowded conditions ther is not time to make settings. I normally shoot auto and the camera does an awesome job. I can devote my time to picking my shots. I am not a professional I get a lot of great comments.

If you don't like making choices or customizing your photography then it's fine. But first I'd simply use your camera in the full auto mode. Most cameras have a mode like this and do a pretty good job. But try doing a long exposure with a 10 stop filter, or doing a milky way shot, or panning on a moving subject and wanting the motion blur of the background using any of the auto features of a camera or this device you are thinking of paying a lot of money for.

A perfect exposure is not always the best exposure.

I have had one since September. Its not very intuitive and has pretty slow response time. I actually prefer Nikons Snapbridge app. And its free.

Sounds good. That is not what the product is about.

Snapbridge is not compatible with a D750, is that correct?

Not much of a "herd" guy anymore. I heard something about that.

I use Arsenal, not for its "intelligence", but for remote control. If my Nikon D850 and iPhone could quickly connect every time, I'd opt for Snapbridge.
Arsenal - Pros: Connects every time. Image downloading is better for me. Cons: Expensive, another piece of gear to fiddle with.
Snapbridge - Pros: Free, no extra hardware except smartphone of course. Cons: Very unreliable in establishing iPhone/Camera connection; most common problem is inability to establish the wifi connection. I think connection reliability is related to both Nikon model and iPhone/Android choice.

There have always been connectivity issues with Snapbridge and Apple products, Nikon has made 3 updates to the software just to try and keep up with Apple IOS changes. My phone and tablet are both Android and connecting/using has never been an issue. Works perfectly every time. I use a D850, D500, and Z7 and all work equally as well.
I have helped a couple customers with their Apple connectivity issues and its definitely a PITA every time. One even bought a cheap used Android phone just for dedicated Snapbridge use.

I use a Sony camera and Arsenal is not fully developed for these cameras. They indicate that they are working on improvements. Hopefully, they'll fix it's problems during the coming year. I am particularly interested in focus bracketing.
