Well here's my thought.
In all the times I've used my K-50 or K-1 I shoot RAW, because 90% of the times I will want to visit LR and do some proper processing. However, there have been times that I've used my camera (K-50 more than K-1) to wifi send a picture to my smartphone so that I might upload it to Instagram pr Facebook, it was more of a 'time is of the essence' capture rather than a pixel peeping high res admiration flickr kinda affair.
When wanting to do this, the process was slightly painful, as I'm sure you are aware you need to convert to Jpg first (that is if like me you shoot RAW exclusively (and don't want RAW+ for space saving reasons).
You also then have to consider that the Jpg conversion is probably quite a bit of overkill for Instagram. I'm not sure what size is optimal for Instagram, I think a couple years back 1000x1000 was the recommended thing, but nowadays you can add 4:3 aspect ratio and wider to Instagram... so I'm not sure what the res is capped at.
Perhaps you can see where I am going with this, whether it is possible to have a 'Instagram' mode in your app. Here's how I would hope it could work...
1) you turn app on and connect via wifi to the camera
2) on the phone you browse the RAW files, select the file/s you want
3) you then select to transfer these files but select 'Instagram'
What this does is convert the RAW>JPG at the optimal size/compression so that the file is smaller than it needs to be and hence faster to transfer and is now ready for Instagram.
Perhaps the user can do this in the camera, convert RAW to Jpg and specify the size that would be acceptable to Instagramming, but I'm lazy and just think it would be cool if the app did it all
FWIW I find Instagram to do a pretty good job of PP editing, there are quite a lot of options and choices and even the filter presets are not bad. But yeh basically when wirelessly transfering JPGs off my K-50 or K-1 to the phone it's always been for Instagram or Facebook use.
