dostoyevski,

Yes, you are partially right.

Canon EOS 550D (EOS Rebel T2i / EOS Kiss X4) Specs

Connectivity

USB

USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec)

HDMI

Yes (HDMI mini)

Wireless

Eye-Fi Connected

Remote control

Yes (E3 connector, InfraRed)

Eye-Fi was a company based in Mountain View, California, that produced SD memory cards with Wi-Fi capabilities. Using an Eye-Fi card inside a digital camera, one could wirelessly and automatically upload digital photos to a local computer or a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computer. The company ceased business in 2016

You'd have to buy Eye-Fi cards on the used market like ebay or something.

I have no idea how Eye-Fi works and have never used it.
