Why WiFi should be on DSLRs

[Mt Spokane Photography]

It's 2016, all countries should regulate wireless communications identically and hackers shouldn't exist.

But how will hackers exist unless there is Wi-Fi on cameras? They have hacked cars, phones, printers, but no one has taken control of a 5D MK III. They need Wi-Fi to put another notch in their belt.

If you are really that worried. I can assume you live in a cave, have no smart phone, computer Internet, etc?
OR you can just turn it off :

Great idea! Why didn't the regulators in countries where only the 6D (N) is sold think of that?

You just need to be sufficiently paranoid that someone is watching.....

I have heard that there is a government van that goes around recording WiFi and LTE signals

I like Wi-Fi in cameras. Canon is reasonably careful, but hackers will find a way if there are any weaknesses. This is a concern to sports event shooters, a hacker could delete their images and cost them a lot of dollars. They want Wi-Fi, but they want it secure. Canon did a lot of research into protection before putting it into pro level cameras.

One of the best ways to keep things secure is to pair the phone to the camera using a single-use code. The camera displays a QR code, the phone reads it, and authentication is set up as a one time only link between only those two devices.

I see camera wifi as general DSLR advancement even though I have no use for it. It should be cheap and easy to implement.

I definitely see where studio shooters want high speed wifi over the inconvenience of cable tethering.

For me, I want to process the photo properly or not at all. The intermediate/ half assed sharing via phone seems pointless though I recognize some people want it.
