I think most of the complaints refer to the fact that you can't use Canon DPP (Digital Photo Professional) to control the xxxD series cameras over WiFi. This is a marketing strategy by Canon but the restriction is not clear in the marketing material. Remote control via WiFi is one of the selling points of the 750D/760D. Mention is made if the tablet apps but it is not stated that WiFi will not work with DPP. I, and many others I think, did not make this discovery until we had purchased the camera.

Agreed.

The cost of the camera is very high. It's out of order Canon asserting our models don't qualify for that feature, especially when the hardware is capable, and the software already written and working for even dearer models. Ours are clearly high end expensive cameras.

P.s I've never met another person who uses DPP. It's great hey (other than no remote control for our cameras).
