... and noticed the some of the pap's had mac's right in front of them on the fence! any reason why?
 
There would have been a pretty big fight to see who could get their pics of the housemates on their websites first I guess :p - also I am guessing they needed to get them back to the office pretty quick so they could get to press.
 
Yep, most of the events I cover many of the 'togs are now using Macs with those mobile broadband services.

Theoretically, pictures can be submitted to the picture desks within a couple of minutes of them being taken.

What an age we live in!

Cheers,
James
 
see i thought it was something along those lines!

any ideas on cost of setting up and what dslr's it works with?
 
Most DSLR's will have drivers for mac's and you then just need something like a Vodafone wireless broadband adapter £30 per month??

Most paps use them for big events like this because papers and agencies would receive so many of the same shots that most Editors work on a first come basis, and as they may be freelance you must be quick to get them edited and sent to earn your crust.

You don't have to use macs but I think the main reason they do is becuase they are generally smaller, lighter and more reliable than a PC Laptop.
