Does the 6d move images wirelessly to your computer?

Looking at this body, and wanted to be sure that I understood correctly. Does anyone know for certain that the 6d will support the wireless transfer of images to your computer via eos utility? I know you can control the camera but want to be sure the images will move as well.

Yes, it does. I just tried it with the EOS Utility. It's pretty slow to move RAW files, though. I moved two and it took a good three minutes.

3 minutes! I wonder why it takes so long since it supports 802.11n. Do you have an old 802.11b card in your computer or another device on the network that isn't 802.11n?

I have an 11g network and was connected via infrastructure mode, so yeah, it was slower. The I did an ad-hoc direct connection between the laptop (11n) and the camera and used EOS Utility to shoot and save a shot. That was faster, but still not as fast as just downloading the images off the card directly.
