Canon SLRs get new wireless transmitters
Posted by Matt McGuire in 
Certain Canon DSLRs can not take advantage of a brand new wireless setup. Among other things you can now shoot with unto 10 linked camera simultaneously. The wireless file transmitter devices, which mount to the SLR camera bodies, are the WFT-E2 II A, available this quarter for the EOS-1D Mark IV; the WFT-E4 II A, available now for the EOS 5D Mark II; and the WFT-E5A, available now for the EOS 7D.
One new feature is called Camera Linking, which lets up to 10 cameras take the same shot, which can be useful for capturing the same moment from different perspectives.
One new feature available only on the WFT-E5A for the EOS 7D is support for the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology that can be used to display photos on compatible TVs or photo frames, Canon said.
The initial cost of these devices is $700. A little bit out my price range. Once I own a 7D this would be a cool addon.

Although there are many other digital camera manufacturers, Canon has always been a market leader and a popular choice when it comes to the price/quality equation.
