<p>Hi Community,</p> <p>I'm very new to the realm of photography, but I need to do some research on behalf of my employer. I am in the market for a camera that can be tethered to a tablet to act as a remote viewfinder and shutter button. All of my photos will be motionless and high-contrast and color is not a priority, though I believe megapixels are (I know, I know. People tout the contrary, but this isn't for typical photography).</p> <p>Obviously I'd like to keep the cost at a minimal. For our purposes, a DSLR is overkill. A simple Canon PowerShoot would be "good enough" if it could be tethered and remotely viewed+controlled. Furthermore, I'd LIKE to use an Android-based tablet, but I'm not limiting myself to it if necessary. The only requirement for the tablet is that it have a cellular antenna (so that rules out the Surface and Surface Pro).</p> <p>I am anticipating spending a few hundred dollars on the camera, and maybe another hundred on the tablet. All-in-all, I'm hoping for a solution that is less than $500. If this seems like an unreasonable price point, please let me know so I can reevaluate my needs.</p> <p>TL;DR:</p> <p>Need recommendation for low-cost point-and-shoot camera and a tablet to use as a tethered remote viewfinder/controller. Tablet must have a cellular antenna. I have no idea where to even begin looking. I know some cameras have Wi-Fi based tethering, which might work. Don't know expected cost range for this setup; hoping for around or under $500 for the whole bundle.</p> <p>Thank you!</p>
