Hi all,
I use a wheelchair, and the solution I am using to take photos, means I want to control the camera through software on a laptop/netbook.
I want to be able to alter settings such as iso, aperture, shutter speed, etc, through the laptop/netbook.
Currently I have a high spec laptop (i7, 16gb ram, 128gb ssd, 1tb hdd) for all the intensive tasks, however the battery life is awful, and i am wanting to take photos where i wont have access to power points.
I was hoping a sub £200 netbook would have the battery life (i've read 10-12 hours on some - which i assume means 6 or 8 hours in real life) and the capability to tether/control my camera?
A recommendation for a netbook and if this is even doable would be much appreciated.
The camera i will predominantly be using is a canon 60d, but will occasionally be using a nikon d810.
Any help is appreciated!
