Quote from: yourboylloyd on July 22, 2020, 03:12:38 AMWhile for functionality I agree with you, having WIFI and wireless transmitters open up a whole new can of worms on cameras:
Imagine a world, where all you had to do is bring a camera and a laptop. Instead of your camera writing to an SD card, your camera transfers 12K RAW footage straight to your laptop's harddrive where your laptop automatically starts to converts the footage into proxys or h.266 files or whatever.
That is why we need wifi on a camera.
Namely surveillance tracking and potential information leaks. If you read Snowden's autobiography you know that these threats are very real. (wifi triangulation, hardware backdoors etc.)
So all in all no, I rather not have wifi and keep my photos and location for myself. Or, even better have a physical switch for it, so you can do remote shooting if needed.
