Canon goes wireless with serious pro cameras

Canon introduced the WFT-E5A exclusively for the new EOS 7D SLR camera the company announced today. Canon believes this $699 transmitter will allow users the luxury to control their shots better, extend the shooting environment beyond a small screen and even share exactly where the shot was taken from. This is a serious tool (shown attached above) for serious shooters.
The WFT allows the unit to connect via 802.11a/b/g and Ethernet and is geared toward professionals, according to Canon. The camera also has Bluetooth built in so it can connect to modern GPS devices and phones.
The WFT allows control of up to 10 cameras allowing users to fire shots from a laptop or even mobile phone. Great shots? (Wait for it) There’s an app for that (probably). The WFT can also send photos to DLNA (Digital Life Network Alliance) devices such as TVs and digital photo frames.
The EOS 7D is no slouch of a machine on its own. The $1699 (body only) camera featuring “fast eight fps continuous shooting, 18-megapixel resolution and Full HD video recording with variable frame rates and manual exposure control.” Zoom. The EOS 7D is due out this month while the WFT-E5A (best. name. ever.) is due in November.
