Wi-Fi also lets you to see your LiveView wirelessly away from your camera. You feel immensely cool when you rig your EOS 70D above the hoop to capture Kobe Bryant slam-dunking into the net, so you can chat up the cute cheerleader at the sidelines and show off how you use your iPhone to view and trigger the camera wirelessly. Imagine when you retrieve your rigged camera only to find empty frames of the net, because the Wi-Fi was lagging several seconds behind the actual action due to the demands of wireless video transmission. The consolation was that the cheerleader gave you her mobile number, but you pray she doesn’t ask to see your Kobe Bryant shots during the date!

Not on a 70D

I've used the live viewing via WIFI on my iPhone with my Nikon D5200 and AW110 but not on a Canon. I would assume it's basically the same process. Connect to wifi, open app, view the camera roll or trigger the camera.

I haven't but was thinking about it. I don't have a hinged/rotating rear screen and there are times when I want a very low perspective shot and my kness protest loudly.

With a rotating screen...For me, I wouldn't bother.

I haven't used the 70D but WIFI control from an iPad is amazing (Nikon D800 & CamRanger). A swivel screen will buy you some additional viewing angles but iPad gives you more control.

It gives you remote shutter release. You can better see your focus on the larger screen. You change settings without touching the camera (HDR, stacking, etc). A large live view screen for framing a shot. In the studio you can adjust lights without having to keep running back to the camera to check.

Now that I've worked with the iPad I can't imagine going back.

How much lag is there between initiating a photo and having the shutter open?

This sounds really cool. The iPad would make a fantastic viewfinder for setting up a picture.

I've used it wifi with a 6d, it's a hassle to link up every time.

for shots like the one you posted, ok, it's useful, but unless you are looking for the crazy angle shot, it's not worth setting up.

every time it loses the connection, either in infrastructure mode, or camera access point mode, it;s a hassle to re-setup and a battery drainer of both devices.

also, you cannot record video in wifi mode

I've used my iPhone 5 and my MacBook Pro with my 6D via wifi and no problems at all, with connection or maintaining operations. I've also used my MacBook Pro tethered to it via Helicon Remote and DSLR Remote Pro. Tethered offers more fine controls again than the basic free EOS remote app.

I have no idea about delay via wifi or being tethered, as I shoot landscapes, macro and architecture mainly.
