Wireless No No...

Okay, so with the fancy new camera I picked up the Canon WFT-E2A; which is a fancy wireless file transmitter that enables you to interact with your computer as if you were tethered with a cable. You can do all the fancy Live View, remote shooting gymnastics and the files come straight into the editing software.

Sounds cool hey! But in practice the software or the connection just simply won't work for these file sizes or the speed of shooting. My experience was that when I filled the buffer up it would crash the EOS Utility software on the laptop and force you into rebooting the computer and with a 22MB body and a forty second download time per image that buffer is pretty easy to fill even when shooting architecture. So it went back to the maker...
