I've been looking around at wifi options for tethering my 5D2, probably to a notebook or tablet.

What I haven't been able to find out about is the last part in the process, actually displaying the last image shot automatically.

I've got DPP and Photoshop CS6 / ACR / Bridge and an existing Wi-fi router.

Has anyone done this and if so, which adapter did you use and which software for displaying the images?

I realise that it would just be the jpg's sent for display, but does this slow the shooting process at all?

Thanks.

iv'e used a eye fi card in a CF adaptor in the past to do this but the biggest limitation is range
as long as your not too far away from the router it works sending jpegs to the pc
the software i used to view the images was called fast picture viewer
http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/

you can set fast picture viewer to display the newest image in a folder automatically

although this method does work it is quite clunky but it is a relatively cheap way of wirelessly sending photo's to a pc and displaying them in real time ( ish )

there are a few different variations of the original eye fi card i couldn't tell you which is best with only having the original eye fi to play with
 
on the other hand if you are not bothered about wireless it can be done very easily through usb and canons own software by keeping the preview window open ( not live view ) in the remote software
