4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but so handy May 20, 2012
By ~morgen
I'm really not sure why this costs so much, but I guess Nikon figures you've already bought a D4 so what's wrong a little more price gouging? I took away one star because of the price.

Anyway, price aside, this device is really useful. I used it the other night while shooting my daughter's school talent show. My son was sitting next to me holding an iPad, and we could quickly review the photos on the large screen as I was taking each shot. The latest photo automatically appears on the iPad a couple seconds after you take it.

You can either join an existing Wifi network, or, as I prefer to, set up an ad hoc network that your iPhone/iPad joins -- that way you are not relying on any existing network.

4.0 out of 5 stars Convenient but pricey July 23, 2012
I bought one of these for my D4, which sometimes gets used for aerial photography - the camera mounted outside the aircraft, and photographer (me!) mounted in the cockpit. In this mode, the WT-5A is very handy and once you sort out any issues, it's actually quite reliable. Battery life is okay, and construction quality is about what you'd expect from Nikon: mostly bulletproof. Size isn't much of an issue since people using this stuff will mostly be using the camera on a tripod.

Still, I'm somewhat surprised in this day and age that Nikon wouldn't just tuck an 802.11 WiFi chip (and a GPS chip!) inside the mighty D4 and be done with it. To have GPS geotagging and wireless operation will set you back quite a healthy sum.

Other thing is that I also own one of the new D800E cameras, and was surprised the WT-5A doesn't work with it. I know I should have checked in advance, but I didn't...turns out the D800 uses the older WT-4A setup - even more cumbersome and expensive than the WT-5A. Looking for a better alternative, I stumbled across the Eye-Fi...these are essentially memory cards with built in WiFi. At least on the D800, they seem to work well, and you can get a serious memory card plus wireless for a really low price. They even have an okay iPad app - the only thing you really give up is support for Nikon's CameraControl Pro software when using the Eye-Fi.

Expensive, but it works. I use this with the iPad and a program called shutter snitch. Awesome combination, if you do a search there is an tutorial that will have you setup in 5 minutes guaranteed....
