WFT-E3 is SO COOL!

[tunster]

Well, after a long wait of 4 months it's finally here by my side...HAHAHA

The best thing is that you don't need a PC to set it up. Which is quite handy if I just want some transfer to FTP server in Wi-Fi Hotspots. You can set everything up from the camera.

The next cool thing is the Web server. Can view and even press the shutter with it. What a nice "hazard-free" access.

2 Secs for Large Fine Jpeg - Not bad
8 Secs for Raw - Hm... a bit turtle for me.

And one more bad point on it is the battery compartment. I've gotta use 2 batteries to drive both the camera and the WFT-E3. I can't imagine if my camera ran out of battery and I need to replace it (gotta take out the WFT-E3 first).

how much did u have to shell out?

[tunster]

5.5k HKD for my case.

[foxguy]

is it able to suport usb devices? and GPS devices? can explain a little more on the battery part?
thanks in advance

[tunster]

USB flash / Harddisk yes, you can choose whether you wanna save to CF or Harddisk/Flash or both.

I have no GPS to test so no comment.

You know 40D has the battery door open at the bottom ya? if this thing attached it will block the door...So if you wanna change battery you need to take it off before you can open the door.

thanks for the reply.
i wonder if it works with IPOD?

With the current exchange rate @ S$1=HK$5.5, it is exactly S$1,000...

I think as long as it is recognized as removable storage will be fine. But only Fat32 file system is supported. Others like NTFS/Ext3 will have no luck.

I am thinking of buying it, but before I do I wish to have a look at the manual. Do you know where I get download a copy of the instruction manual? Thank you.

Works with the iPhone (and hence most likely the iPod Touch) according to this article.

[SianZronG]

works with anything that acts like a USB mass storage device....
