Bluetooth connection to camera
I have a Canon 5D camera which has a USB port to connect to a PC or laptop.
Is there any way I can get a wireless Bluetooth link to the PC/Laptop instead - and what equipment would I need. |

I want to shoot straight to a laptop both in a stdio and location sutuation
but I want a wireless connection - bluetooth - to avoid using a USB cable link. "John McWilliams" wrote in message ...

Canon has a wi-fi solution, but it ain't cheap: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search The description says it's for the 1Ds M.II, but the Canon website says it is compatible with the 20D, 30D, 5D, 1D, & 1Ds.

Expect it to take several minutes to transfer a single full-resolution photo via BT. Is going wireless really worth so much of your time? |

Thanks Matt - that is useful reply and a bit of a reality check for me. I
just dont like having to pay Canon's exploitative prices for accessories. "Matt Ion" wrote in message news:gUZch.424250$R63.315923@pd7urf1no...
