Abstract
A compact, handheld portable electronic imaging system including both an electronic imaging camera and hard copy printer are separately housed with respect to each other and readily interfaceable with respect to each other for use either in combination or apart. In addition, a base unit provides a connection to a personal computer or network and provides power to recharge the batteries in the electronic imaging camera. Wireless transceiver interface means for transmitting electronic images between the electronic imaging camera and printer are provided so that when used apart, image defining electronic image information signals may be directed to the printer for the making of hard copies therefrom. A display viewfinder allows the user to see the scene in bright sun light and provides visual feedback and operation with a single user control which results in a simplified user interface. Alternatively, the electronic imaging camera and printer may be used in mechanical combination to provide an immediate hard copy of the image sensed in a manner analogous to that of an instant photographic camera of the self-processing type.
