Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon WFT-E1 Wireless File Transmitter for Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, 5D, 1D Mark II and 1Ds Mark II Digital SLRCustomer Review: Know the technology! Summary: 4 Stars
This device will use an ad hoc transmission to an FTP configured laptop (ie with built in wireless), but at the slower 801.11b mode - generally plenty fast enough >1mbyte/sec, so a high res raw file will be transferred in 10 seconds.
This has a great range - can cover a football field with extnded range antenna - blue tooth is unreliable across a dance floor.
If you are pro and need fast upload to acomputer for client reasons, go for it.
Pricey, but then they don't sell 1,000,000 of 'em to recoup the development cost.
One safe guard is it won't work if you are out of memory - you always have a backup of what you sent - on the card! Of course you can delete it then after your partner calls you on your blue tooth ear bud to let you know it was received and being printed for sale as you shoot your next shot!
