It does seem pretty cool but I think you will see most cameras soon
having WiFi built in. Sure you don't have to plug your camera in to
upload the pictures. But you still have to turn it on, then turn it off
when it's done uploading. And how often would you take a bunch of
pictures within range of your WiFi network?
I'm sure it has it's place, and I almost bought it, but then I realized
that it's not worth it for me.
