+1 to canon for giving wireless tether
-1 for playing catch up
-3 for making us pay for what is standard in everything from printers to point & shoots
-12 old bs canon claim wifi impossible because of the magnesium body
-30 if canon expects wifi card to be used in 7DIII (or whatever else comes our way eventually)
-90 for this post.
+1 for rrcphoto's post.
But while I think the "grading" is silly, I would say this:
+ to Canon for adding wireless tether to 7DII;
+ to Canon for adding wifi connectivity to 7DII (Which pretty much puts it on par with the brand new Nikon D500 for stills shooters -- maybe not so much for those who care about 4K);
+ to Canon for finding a way, once again, to take a two-year-old camera and bolt on new technology to make it new again;
- to Canon for making us pay for what is standard in everything from printers to point & shoots;
+ to Canon for offering it at a fire sale price;
- to Canon for their past claims that WiFi was impossible because of the magnesium body
-30 if canon expects wifi card to be used in 7DIII (or whatever else comes our way eventually)
Of course that's not going to happen. Every Canon from now on will have wireless connectivity (except maybe bargain-priced Rebels)
It will be interesting to see if it has memory in the card. If it doesn't then it won't be much use to 6D Classic owners or non-wifi Rebel owners. Won't really matter to 7DII and 5DIII owners.
And, finally, as has been said before, the devil will be in the firmware update.
