Well, yeah. From Canon I really thought it would be.]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/
lol Really? I didn't think that eye-fi "can even synchronize itself with up to 10 'slave' cameras that all fire at the same time. "

I also didn't think that eye-fi could "see a remote live view of the camera's rear LCD screen and remotely fire a camera all through the Web."

That's a lot more complicated than what eye-fi does. This is a totally different (and awesome) device!]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/
Exactly, if you're going to spend that kind of dosh on something like this, than you're probably going to use it to it's full extent (or are just rich and stupid, either way, ordinary people aren't going to have this).

As for the battery grip, most people use the grip for... well, the grip. And this still has the same function of the former, and if you're using something like this to slave other cameras, you're probably not far from a power source anyway.]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/
Sorry, the first part of that was directed at Badison.]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Unfortunately, Eye-Fi only makes SD cards, not CF cards, so that option is out. ]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/
Fair enough, but 99/100 engadget users might prefer to carry around a non-DSLR camera too for all either of us know.
(I have no idea, we need a survey or something, ha ha).

Adapter - Oh, nice!

(@GBC - also, the 1D Mark IV actually has both SD and CF ports, which is pretty nifty)]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/

And of course, with video recording becoming more-and-more popular on DSLRs, I can see something like this being used (probably not exactly like this) for controlling several video cameras at once.]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/Jan 7th 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/canon-announces-new-wireless-file-transmitter-units-for-latest-p/
