Hi Amin, To be honest I've had a very quiet summer in respect of work relating to cameras so neither the 7D or the WFT have been used again since the original gig which prompted me to post to this forum! Though I do find the iPhone thing very interesting - having just recently started out...

Not what sure what I can suggest. Too busy today myself anyway. The WFT does tend to feel a little bit 'all or nothing' (i.e. binary) in whether it works or not. The error descriptions are not that helpful. All I can suggest is to try to work at it in a modular fashion - WiFi then IP then FTP...

I am, as you can tell, no expert on this kit... but, from what I can tell the routes available to you are: WIRED - use a cross-over ethernet cable between the WFT-E5 and your laptop. I doubt your laptop's running a DHCP server so you'll need to give each a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1...

You'll be fine. Once I got it solid it stayed solid. Good luck. Have fun! :)

Unfortunately I left it too long to respond to their e-mail. I seem to recall they closed 'the case' down. At that point I probably gave up. Having got it working within strict operational conditions by myself then my momentum behind communicating with Canon for their benefit kind of got lost...

In the context that my WFT-E5 is working in my current configuration (see above) I have just received a response from Canon technical support... The first gig I need to use the new rig on is tonight so I've not got time to respond to them right now... You folks might, however, be interested to...

Thanks Kevin. Good idea! Only complication might be that the EyeFi is an SD card and the 7D is using CF cards... though a quick google seems to reveal that some people are using CF to SD adapters to get around this... ...Might just be worth a play at some point. Though at least, for now...

Deafening silence from the forum (though I admit I only posted a few hours ago! ;)). Either way - I've now got the system working reliably (so far). Typically I changed a number of things at once so am not totally sure if any one particular tweak made it work properly! First I'm now using...

I've just had need to send the following to Canon support via their website. We'll see what response I get but I thought I might pop it on here in case anybody else is seeing the same issues. Basically Canon appear to have released the WFT-E5 hardware way before the software guys have finished...
