Canon Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1

[Waddizzle]

I cannot wait for this Wi-Fi adapter gadget to come out.  Beginning at sometime this fall, all 7D Mark IIs ship with it.

B from B,

"That assertion, if true,   ."

I hate to disappoint you but the last 7D has already been made.  Even the 1Dx!

As for the 5D3, I would venture that the 5D3 design team is long broken up by now.   In fact, the camera just may be out of production by now, if not in the very near future.  There's probably no one available to do a firmware rewrite for a mere feature upgrade.

It is for the three most recent higher end Canon dSLRs that didn't include built in WiFi. I would expect that there are hardware differences that allow it to interface and that a simple firmware update couldn't enable it.

Many Canon dSLRs are 'Eyefi Connected', meaning they have built in support for Eyefi SD cards. However, the W-E1 seems to take the Eyefi concept one step further, allowing control of the camera too.

Another nice mid-life-cycle upgrade for the 7D series. ...

Only for the Mark II. The original 7D has no SD card slot.

The classic 7D had a nice mid-life-cycle upgrade with Firmware Version 2.0

New firmware for the EOS 7D: Version 2.0.0 Now Available

So when I said it was another nice mid-life-cycle upgrade for the 7D series, I was referring to the Firmware 2 upgrade for the classic 7D and the WiFi upgrade for the 7D Mk II. Two different mid-life-cycle upgrades, for two different 7D cameras.

Are you saying it's going to be standard equipment with the 7DII (without having to pay extra)?  That is surprising...

From the article:

New EOS 7D Mark II cameras

As we hinted at the start of this article, beginning in Fall 2016, new EOS 7D Mark II cameras will roll out of Canon’s factory with W-E1 cards packed in the box — giving the camera, in effect, Wi-Fi capability from the time you receive it.  Moving forward, this will be the only way EOS 7D Mark IIs will be sold in most markets around the world.
