It wasn’t just the focus points or the price that seemed perfect about this DSLR camera, or the Companion app on mobile, it was also the wireless capabilities.
We’ve become so used to sharing photos instantly online, that it’s become a necessity for products to have built-in wireless modes to allow for just that – sharing straight to social media from the camera itself.
After 6 months usage, I have to admit that I’m chuffed with the 750D in this department. I can use Canon’s Camera Connect app (on Android) to remotely control the shutter button, instead of using a separate peripheral (like Canon’s own Bluetooth remote), as well as download the images from my camera to my phone instantly – no need to reach for the SD card adapter or a PC.
But recently, I’ve discovered a whole new way to share to the Internet with my camera. It takes a bit of work to set it all up, but once it’s done, it is possible to share instantly from my camera to the Internet, no phone needed.
To do this, I used the CD software included with the camera – Canon EOS Utility – and connected my 750D to my laptop with the included USB cable. I then edited the WiFi Services, to include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and Canon irista, amongst others.
I have yet to test this new feature out, but it’s this wireless connectivity which means I can instantly share a great photo with the world, without having to wait until I get home.
This also means I can capture a shot on my DSLR, where the quality of the images is much better than photos taken on my phone, download it to my phone and edit on there – usually, using a mixture of Photoshop, Pixlr, Snapseed, VSCO, Polarr, Skrwt and Toolwiz Photos.
Wireless capabilities allow me to capture great photos and share a moment with the world only a few moments later. It’s quick, easy and effective – just like a smartphone, but with 100 times the image quality.
