Yes
Now, this may be a daft question, but is the quality of the photographs transferred via wifi the same as transferred from memory card?

Cheers.
 
Surely "1's" and "0's" are the same by whatever method of transfer.

If you are concerned about about what might be called/considered low level losses that are not obvious but could still affect quality..........well I surmised we need the insight of the likes of Thomas Knoll of PS fame or similarly skilled person to reply as to whether in either raw or jpeg could be affected???
 
I've only done it using WMU on my Nikon D7200 and I observed no loss.

Like I said, might be a daft question but I wasn't going to let that prevent me from asking.

Appreciate your response.

Cheers.

? ;)

The only problem I have with wireless transfer is that it's so bloody slow compared to using a USB3 card reader!

There is IMO no such thing as a daft question, as in many cases the resulting discussion throws up some interesting debate/insights :)

Especially when some unsuspecting soul misreads the original question! :LOL:

It depends... usually yes it's the same quality, but things like Nikon SnapBridge (no idea about any other manufacturers) initially send a low quality JPEG version.
 
It depends on the manufacturer and where they are being sent, for instance on the Sony A7 series of camera's if shooting via the app a smaller image is sent to the phone or pad being used, the full size image is left stored on the card, which can then be transferred via wifi/card reader or cable to your computer.
The downside is that wifi transfers aren't that fast and eat battery.

Yes.
Even the small versions would be the same, the fact some software chooses to transfer a different image changes nothing in regard to the original question.
