What other interpretation is there? You are saying built-in WiFi on Canon cameras doesn't support transferring images to a computer. Can you not follow Canon's instructions?

FTP?<P>
I didn't see any secure methods of image transfer which to me is a bit troubling.
SFTP or the like doesn't take much more design, time, effort of computing power.<P>
All one has to do, is set up a wireless monitor and you can pull someone's shots off as they transmit almost effortlessly.
I would have to think some photographers wouldn't care for that too much...photo theft, heck..even security problems there if un approved, uncorked/redacted images got off site that easily.
Why doesn't anyone think security these days? It really isn't that hard.
Next thing you'll know, we'll hear of someone hacking INTO the camera from this unsecured access point.

No Canon wi-fi equipped DSLR will allow user to connect to a network, find a shared folder on computer and send files there. Similarly, you can't set up the camera to show up on your network as a simple storage device and sync it to your local folder. Limited capability that there is only makes sense in a studio environment with camera bolted to a tripod and separate people operating camera and processing software.

You should learn to speak for yourself. Admitting when you're wrong is always a good start, though many people are incapable of doing so.

Expect 3rd party copies to come in at 1/4 the cost.
WFT-E7A is $850 and even though there are probably 100 times more 5D3s than there are 1D X's no one made a copy. To my knowledge.
You're right it's likely a too specific accessory, although if a company would decide to make a clone, they could likely sell it for 1/10 of the price and still make money. The latest Intel Wireless-AC 8260 card for laptops costs 25$ and for that price you get Bluetooth 4.0 too. If this is not milking....

I don't need that distance with the sdcard (Transcend) ;-) to transfer the images to my tablet/phone.
If I need more distance I use a $30 dongle to hookup to the USB port of the camera and control the camera from a distance and have feedback from the camera.

My Canon transfers files directly to a computer, what are you trying to say here?
I have a Nikon with Wi-Fi, it will not transfer files directly to a computer, and most other brands will not either.
Its horrible to set up, but when done correctly, it works well.
