A photographer needs a way to create redundant backups of photos while shooting with a single-SD-slot camera to prevent data loss from card corruption.
Canon Camera Connect does not support automatic RAW file backup to a phone; it's mainly for remote control and JPEG transfer, and it doesn't provide real-time redundant backup.

SnapSync Backup
SnapSync Backup is a mobile app that automatically transfers RAW files from your camera to your phone as you shoot. It creates an instant backup on the phone, and can also sync to cloud storage for extra safety. Unlike Canon Camera Connect, it supports RAW files and runs in the background without interrupting your workflow.
Key Features
- Automatic RAW file transfer over Wi-Fi or USB
- Background syncing to cloud storage (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive)
- Low-latency transfer with minimal impact on camera performance
- Battery-efficient operation with configurable transfer intervals
Target Users: Event photographers and solo shooters using single-slot cameras (e.g., Canon R8) who need on-the-go backup without carrying a laptop.
Revenue Model: Freemium with $4.99/mo pro tier for unlimited RAW transfers and cloud integration
