Tony mentioned the following.
At first at 14:56 he says "in my limited experience, especially when it comes to wildlife" So we're listening to someone's experience on wildlife AF that has limited experience with the subject.
I believe they take photos of birds from canoes and shore quite often around their home, often osprey. Maybe he meant limited in variety rather than hours spent. I've certainly seen images from both of them suggesting they know what they're doing here.
at 16:43 he mentions file transfer directly off the camera. And wired connection did not work for him, so he changed to 5ghz wifi, .. asterisk appeared on top at the 17:08 mark where he stated that after that it failed to work. So i really really hope Canon did not create buggy code or a weak wifi module that is unstable.
I would be more concerned about Canon's choice of the deprecated FTP protocol. It's been deprecated because it's a 1970s mess with all the cruft that implies. It could easily have been some configuration error on his NAS. They chose it because sports agencies use it and they had the code lying around. No brownie points from me for that.
He's an ex IT guy. I would have hoped he tested for IPv6 support at this stage. I would like to see all of CIFS (SMB), IPv6 and Bonjour supported. I would be surprised if any of them is.
