I find it amusing how some people get bent out of shape about the price of an accessory to a camera.
Canon prices it at what they do because...wait for it...they have determined that the people who "need" such a thing, will pay this price. If no one buys it, the price will drop. I have a feeling the pricing reflects how specialized and niche the thing is, so comparing it to mass-produced wi-fi products is a bit...naive.
If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Simple. It's not exactly a basic human need, to own a wireless dongle for the flagship Canon camera. Besides, think of how many toys and consumer routers you could buy instead! :
I suppose the whining has therapeutic value, but other than that I can't see if really influencing much of much. ;D
