Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2006 10:42 amI actually considered getting the WT-2 then had a real think and the answer was ”what for!”
I would have to get another L plate for starters and I considered that the distance between my computer and my shooting studio was about 15 feet - and I really do need the exercise

Not very useful and very costly! I put it off after a short time trial.

I get my wife to run the CF card to my laptop and download the files for me.
This allows more resources to be spent on lenses

How much of what?
WT-2? or the girl who run back and forth to swap the CF card?
WT-2 is around AU$650.00 or the "young chic" costs a fortune!
I prefer the "young chic" but I can't afford her right now!

Birddog,
if you marry into the right culture, you get a dowry.
Mine got me a D2x, a house and a pair of shoes

Sorry if this offends anyone, but I am sure the young chick would have a far better body.
EDIT - WT-2 is far cheaper than a HDD sized CF card.

Yes, she's and of course she's better than the WT-2, that "special device " can be used in multi purposes
on the other side the WT-2 is not

I don't agree with that...
The D2x is very sexy if you ask me
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2006 11:05 amThe WT-2 is designed for use within certain purposes and the HDD (CF card size) is also couldn't compare with the WT-2.
Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2006 11:14 amI guess the main use would be on food photoshoots.
Shooting tethered can be annoying, especially if using natural light because the computers display will be effected by the glare. With WT-2 you have no wires to annoy you, and can beam straight onto the screen in a shady spot. Perhaps it would be better to get one of those screen shaders, but you still have wires to contend with and a higher likelyhood of the client falling over, taking computers and camera equipment on the back of the head
It does seem overpriced for what it is though. Is it made with the same body materials as the D2x or is it plastic?... Weather sealing? Weight?
EDIT - shooting tethered is so useful because the food stylist, photographer, art director, client, and other people don't have to crowd around a 2.5 inch screen!

Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2006 11:22 amif $$ was no object and I was shooting weddings for a living, id get a WT-2. The instant feedback for seeing if people had their eyes closed etc would be unbelievable!
my assistant could monitor images coming in.

I wonder how well the buffer would work with the WT-2 constantly streaming at 52Mbps (is that the speed?) in real world conditions. It would be convenient to have an assistant following with a laptop - a new powerbook G4, with its super bright 1680x1050 (1.76MP) native resolution. Bigger than the 0.23 megapixel 2.5 inch screen on the back. Instant feedback indeed!
