1. A system, comprising:
- circuitry configured for joining at least one networked image device with at least one remote storage location at least partially via at least one network connection of the at least one networked image device;
circuitry configured for providing at least one geographic location associated with the at least one networked image device;
circuitry configured for obtaining at least one indication of one or more images of one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location and stored at the at least one remote storage location, the at least one indication including at least one number of images stored at the at least one remote storage location of the one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location;
circuitry configured for making a quality determination, including at least determining whether the at least one networked image device is capable of obtaining one or more better quality images of at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location than the one or more images of the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location stored at the at least one remote storage location; and
circuitry configured for determining whether at least one viewfinder display of the at least one networked image device includes the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location at least partially based on the quality determination.

Abstract
A mechanism or technique able to join a shared image device with a remote storage location via a network connection, and determine whether the shared image device can obtain better quality images of a subject or geographic location than those stored at the remote storage location.

18. A system, comprising:
-
means for joining at least one networked image device with at least one remote storage location at least partially via at least one network connection of the at least one networked image device; means for providing at least one geographic location associated with the at least one networked image device; means for obtaining at least one indication of one or more images of one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location and stored at the at least one remote storage location, the at least one indication including at least one number of images stored at the at least one remote storage location of the one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location; means for making a quality determination, including at least determining whether the at least one networked image device is capable of obtaining one or more better quality images of at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location than the one or more images of the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location stored at the at least one remote storage location; and means for determining whether at least one viewfinder display of the at least one networked image device includes the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location at least partially based on the quality determination.

19. A method, comprising:
-
joining at least one networked image device with at least one remote storage location at least partially via at least one network connection of the at least one networked image device; providing at least one geographic location associated with the at least one networked image device; obtaining at least one indication of one or more images of one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location and stored at the at least one remote storage location, the at least one indication including at least one number of images stored at the at least one remote storage location of the one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location; making a quality determination, including at least determining whether the at least one networked image device is capable of obtaining one or more better quality images of at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location than the one or more images of the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location stored at the at least one remote storage location; and determining whether at least one viewfinder display of the at least one networked image device includes the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location at least partially based on the quality determination, wherein at least one of joining, providing, obtaining, making, or determining is at least partially implemented using one or more processing components.

20. A system, comprising:
-
at least one computing device; and one or more instructions which, when executed on the at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to at least; join at least one networked image device with at least one remote storage location at least partially via at least one network connection of the at least one networked image device; provide at least one geographic location associated with the at least one networked image device; obtain at least one indication of one or more images of one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location and stored at the at least one remote location, the at least one indication including at least one number of images stored at the at least one remote storage location of the one or more subjects associated with the at least one geographic location; make a quality determination, including at least determining whether the at least one networked image device is capable of obtaining one or more better quality images of at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location than the one or more images of the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location stored at the at least one remote storage location; and determine whether at least one viewfinder display of the at least one networked image device includes the at least one subject associated with the at least one geographic location at least partially based on the quality determination.
