EOS Bodies / Canon WFT-E7 Wireless File Transmitter capabilities

« on: March 02, 2012, 02:52:28 PM »

What are people's thoughts?

I'm curious - they've pulled out 801.11n which is good for speed, but also the the built-in Bluetooth compatibility - what could it potentially make a Bluetooth connection to in terms of a GPS device for geo-tagging images?

Whilst a EyeFi card in the SD card looks an option - would the WFT-E7 seriously smoke the Eye-Fi for speed of transfer?

Could it allow wireless tethering? Or just shot transmission?

The LAN port also looks interesting - the poor man's 1DX option? http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/technical/wifi_options.do

Third Party Manufacturers / D800 - Quality of video output

« on: February 07, 2012, 12:26:36 PM »

Does anyone have thoughts on the shown quality of video from the D800, having looked at JoyRide

Joy Ride	Small | Large

, and the Behind the Scenes video

Joy Ride - Behind the Scenes	Small | Large

?
Through the lens -

Nikon D800 D-Movies - Through The Lens	Small | Large

(It makes more sense about 4 minutes in)

Headphone jack
Microphone sensitivity adustment
Ability to view live recording on the camera monitor and an external monitor simultaneously
Link movie live view mode to a HDMI monitor and record simultaneously via the HDMI link
Use FX or DX based movie format to record 1080p
Ability to shoot a time lapse via photos and have it save as a video file


Scott Kelby's take - http://scottkelby.com/2012/jumping-the-gun-on-the-d800/ It's not appaearing to be designed for sports or action photographers, is a break from the D700, and seems more for "commercial photographers, and wedding and landscape shooters that want to be using a camera with Medium-Format type resolution without the medium-format price"
