Re: R6 M2: Amazing to transfer photos using SFTP

Yes -

  1. for as you mentioned eliminates the need for the phone and also reduces a middleman (the smart phone).
  2. The phone will need data plan when outdoors or connect to a public Wifi. Which, as we all know is not very safe, especially for a smart phone. In this case, the camera has hardly anything and you're using SFTP anyways to transfer.
  3. I have transferred the same CR3 file - using iPhone to my NAS drive and from camera. Maybe its just me but raw unedited file sent from camera looked better.
  4. If you change phone - rinse and repeat.
  5. If you don't have your phone with you - you have a problem.
  6. During the time transfer occurs, the phone is connected to the camera's wifi which means no internet @ iPhone.
  7. The best part I found out : you can have multiple profiles defined in the camera. What I mean is -> I also have a cloud service. So created that too. After I've uploaded to NAS, I uploaded to the cloud service. So have a backup too.
  8. The camera intelligently transfers only those you haven't transferred yet. And it does it by profile.
  9. This releases the need for the 2 SD cards with 1 being backup.
  10. As there are literally these days tons for Wifi access points - its all good.
  11. Even tethering via the phone is possible.
  12. On the phone's app I see an option for FTP too but it happens to be a subscription plan. The same is achieved using the camera -> for free!
