One more significant functional improvement comes to mind. The wireless connectivity using Bluetooth is much more convenient than the prior method. Previously, I had to launch the Wi-Fi signal on the camera then point my phone Wi-Fi to the Canon signal, complete with the warning about not having Internet access. now that the Bluetooth remains connected, I can leave the camera in its case, open Camera Connect on my phone, wait a couple of seconds, then start the linking process from within the app. I find this a much simpler process, when it works. I've found that it works most reliably when the camera is actually powered off at the time I start the connection from my phone.
