Ive been a loyal Canon customer my whole life but Im new to the wifi feature. I just bought the Canon XS720 HS for a smaller portable pocket size travel camera that takes awesome pics rather than rely on toting around my bulky Rebel EOS, or take crappy iPhone pics just so I can share on social media. Now I have the best of both worlds.
Once I got it set up, the wifi is fast and I can choose only my fav pics to upload to my iPhone for sharing. Plus Ive tested a couple different wifi spots switching between home and using the cameras wifi login/pw and it was easy, both work great. Plus it remembers!! I expect to be able to log in to different wifis while traveling and have it work similarly.
I was initially worried about the Camera Connect feature after reading the reviews but I have found the secret!!! The secret is reading and trying everything!! In the reviews people cite all different canon cameras which make it confusing and the camera instructions in the box are woefully useless - not helpful at all! The trick is to watch several YouTube videos on how to set up the wifi on your camera, then play around with the camera in different hot spots. The camera is very forgiving if you need to keep trying new things. Be patient.
Like I said above, its fast, remembers, once you figure it out, its a breeze! Enjoy.
