Canon has released a new series of wireless file transmitters for the brand’s high end DSLR cameras, the Canon 5D, 7D and 1D Mark IV.  The CanonWFT-E2 II A, WFT-E4 II A and WFT-E5A Wireless File Transmitters will give photographers the ability to transmit photos from their camera to a computer or other networked storage devices.

While the new Canon Wireless File Transmitters may be a rather basic technology, the applications of these devices are numerous and flexible.  Photographers that use a Canon 5D, 7D or 1D Mark IV can use these wireless file transmitters to instantly transfer photographs to a computer for editing and storage, but also to use a new range of photographic technology.  Using Canon’s new Camera Linking functionality, photographers can link up to 10 “slave” cameras to be controlled by this one wireless master unit.  Photographers can also connect to a wireless GPS device to automatically geotag photographs in the field.  Wedding photographers can snap a photograph and instantly share it with a reception crowd on a projected display screen without ever having to plug in.

The new Canon WFT-E2 II A Wireless File Transmitter, WFT-E4 II A Wireless File Transmitter and WFT-E5A Wireless File Transmitter are shipping now for the price of $699 per unit.  While that price may seem steep to the layman, pro photographers will likely find this a drop in the bucket when considering the standard price for camera accessories like lenses, flashes and lights.
