If I did studio type shooting, then this might be great, but for my own purposes, it's just bells and whistles - I'd rather be paying for a better sensor or lens than features I won't use.

I suppose the iPod generation does, but for me, absolutely not. I want my camera to be a camera; a device for making images. I don't want it to be my email gateway, web browser, image editor, cell phone or anything else but a camera thank you very much.
The camera Manfactures are trying to re-invent them self's, they have come a long way in a very short time and now their running out of things to do to the basic camera DSLR. Now they want to make it A full blown Computer ,with wireless capacity which if fine for the Pro's but really what semi pro and down really needs all these features as the camera manufacturers are trying to sell us here, at this rate they will take the human element out of taking picture's.
As an amateur photographer, I like to step away from the communication realm until I have something to offer. I do not see a benifit of being able to send files out from my camera and prefer to deal with area (photography or communication) at a time.
If my friends and relatives were more into hi tech stuff, extra connectivity might be more appealing to me, but I'm personally mostly interested in photography as an art and prefer high grade internet photo galleries to show my work.
When I'm away photographing, I worry about getting the image. When I come home, I enhance the RAW files in Photoshop to maximize color, tone, sharpness, etc. I don't see any point in sending someone unenhanced and dull images from RAW files without processing them in Photoshop beforehand. If pro camera's offered in camera enhancement of the usually dull and grayish image files they produce straight out of the camera, then maybe wireless sending would be worth it and practical.
