the W-E1 Wifi Adaptor

Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced today the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II Kit, featuring the new SD card-sized Wi-Fi® Adapter W-E1. This new Wi-Fi adapter, when placed in one of the camera’s SD card slots, provides the EOS 7D Mark II with Wi-Fi capabilitiesi like easy transferring of images and MP4 videos as well as use of the Canon Camera Connect App for remote capture of still images via a compatible smartphone or tablet.ii

The Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 will be sold with the EOS 7D Mark II body as well as sold separately, and can also be used with the EOS 5DS and 5DS R as well as previously purchased EOS 7D Mark II camerasiii. When used with EOS 5DS and 5DS R cameras, the Wi-Fi Adapter W-E1 functionality is limited to the transfer of still images only. The W-E1 will support 802.11 b, g and n using the 2.4 GHz band.

Additionally, for the first time the EOS 7D Mark II camera will be conveniently bundled with the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. This lens has been optimized for high-speed autofocusing when shooting stills and quiet and smooth zoom when shooting video. This is the first Canon lens equipped with Nano USM technology providing high-speed autofocus for shooting stills and silent, smooth autofocus when shooting video. The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens also provides up to four stops of optical image stabilization.

Some excellent improvements there from Canon. The specs on that 5D4 look amazing for the price. I don't really need to buy anything these days as I use work gear anyway a lot of the time. The 1Dx is already overkill now that I'm not freelancing. I'd love to give those new lenses a go though. The 16-35 I have is possibly the most disappoint lens I own considering the price. I'd be really interested to know if they have improved it much.

For all the flashy expensive stuff, I'm actually most interested in that wifi card for my 7D2. Allows you to take shots from your phone with a mirrored view. Handy for low angle macro.

Remote shooting and flash work has been an area that canon has been behind on for a while. Good see them making some additions to that.

I only just realised the 5D has the same processor as the 1Dx2. I can't believe how much they are packing into that camera. No wonder the price is so high on it. I'm assuming the only real reason you'd want the pro body now would be speed and durability. When I bought the 1Dx I was after low light performance and higher dynamic range. The durability was a bonus. I cant see much of a reason I'd spend the extra money if I was looking for a camera today.
