SpotMyPhotos is built to fit your gear, not replace it. Nearly any modern professional DSLR or mirrorless camera (last 15+ years) can work with SpotMyPhotos. What changes by camera is how fast the photos can flow, so here is the simple version.

For live, roaming delivery where a photographer walks the floor and photos reach guests in seconds, the camera streams through the SpotMyPhotos app on a tethered phone. Real-time roaming is supported for Canon, Nikon, and Sony with the SpotMyPhotos iOS app; the SpotMyPhotos Android app supports these as well, along with Fuji and Lumix cameras.

Cameras that are not supported for real-time roaming will still work with SpotMyPhotos, either tethering to a laptop for real-time streaming or by drag-and-drop into the web upload after capture for near-real-time sharing. So you are never locked out; the camera just determines whether delivery can be real-time or near-real-time.

For a fixed station such as a headshot booth or a step-and-repeat, a camera tethered to a laptop running the SpotMyPhotos Desktop Uploader is usually the smoothest path. Any digital camera (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, Lumix and others) capable of tethering to a laptop will work with SpotMyPhotos.

If you edit before delivering, you can either drag-and-drop photos to SpotMyPhotos or use SpotMyPhotos Uploader (and link to a hot folder), so your edited selects flow in automatically. It works alongside Lightroom, Capture One, Evoto, Imagen, and AfterShoot. You can edit using your own tools, drop the finals in the watched folder, and SpotMyPhotos re-matches and delivers them. Alternatively, SpotMyPhotos has an Auto-Optimize capability built into the platform that color-corrects photos once uploaded, ideal for under- or overexposed live event photos with variable lighting.

The iPhone app is the most capable for real-time streaming and on-device features. The Android app is a lighter relay and uploader. If you are only uploading by SD card or laptop after the shoot, you do not need a phone at all.
