Very tasty Canon and least it's functional - unlike Nikon's poor attempt on their Z's.I like the ethernet bump on the WFT-R10, I wonder if the whole image sending/tethering will get improved or only adds image.canon support.

Hopefully it should given how similar trays are for wifi grip and battery grip. Also really curious to find out the ethernet speeds supported on this camera. Given how bad 2.5G is I just hope Canon sticks to reliable 1G ethernet.The big question is whether it takes one or two batteries.
"battery is said to have a big bump in capacity"
Q: What new technology developements would allow for a "big bump"? After all, form factor is identical. Iam sceptical about this ...
But even if there is a decent "bump", the capacity is needed for the biggersensor, IBIS, high computing power. It remains to be seen if cipa rating increases at all.
Well it’s well known that the 1DXMK3 gets much better battery life than the 1DXMK2 so I would not be too skeptical."battery is said to have a big bump in capacity"

With the battery technology of 2010 an earpod (or equal) wasn't possible.Battery technology is unfortunately not known for improving in leaps and bounds. Otherwise electric cars would be much more commonplace by now…
Probably a sacrifice for other much desired specs. I don't mind it as I pretty much shoot tethered everytime but if it bumps transfer speed and it's 5Ghz wifi I'm totally in (BYEEE tethertools).Excuse my stupidity, but whats the advantage of a wifi grip? does the R5/6 not have built in wifi.
It's one of my favorite features of the R (coming from a 5DIII) is auto transfer as shooting to my phone
Cheers
AFAI can recall the capacity of the old LP-E6/LP-E6N hasn't changed thoughout the last ... how many years?
Google tells me here
LP-E6: 1.800 mAh, released 20??
LP-E6N: 1.865 mAh, released 2014
So this means we're talking about surely 10 years + X old battery technology.
With all the smart phones, earpods as well as e-mobility, could there be a little bit of new R&D tech developed thoughout that time...?
We dont want another Note 7 debacle.I would have thought Canon would have given a bit of a bigger boost in battery capacity since you can already get third-party LP-E6 compatible batteries that offer up to 2800mAh.
Yes, I know safety, overheating, etc... But still....
Better antenna designs and wireless band support(5ghz and maybe 2x2 wifi) and in this case wired ethernet.Excuse my stupidity, but whats the advantage of a wifi grip? does the R5/6 not have built in wifi.

Well WiFi is the wireless networking for computers with a range of about 100 yards. So it is not independently off to the internet like a phone's cellular service. So yes, the WiFi module needs to connect to some kind of hotspot.For those of you who do WiFi adaptor does this just upload to Canon’s Cloud service? Or does this need access to you cell as a hotspot? Do you need a separate internet account? I’m curious how this might be used in a workflow.
I have a feeling its going to be reassuringly expensive!and if the WFT grip is affordable, that grip will be a great purchase!
