Originally posted by Clavius We've arrived in 2014, photographers that want connectivity don't want to spend time on fidgetting around with setting up networks, network ID's, passwords, handshakes etc... They want to take a picture and edit it on their tablet, or share it. Take Near Field Commication as an example: The user just bangs two devices together and they're connected.
Maybe in EU, but here I don't trust auto-DNS and WPA-2 for security.

Banging two Android phones together is a cute trick for a middle schooler. Not on my Wi-Fi Network.
Once I set up my Eye-Fi cards for my first Q I was astonished to just shove them in my K-3 and instantly the Wi-Fi icon appeared and the camera (well, the card) connected to my Network.
You can be sure the first time a 'connected' camera comes out of the box it will need to be set up with passwords, Network ID's, protocols, router and gateway addresses for the network and for the Hotspot Wi-Fi of the tablet when away from the network. You can bet cellular account infomration will be necessary for roaming uploads to the cloud.
