Tethering. What do you use it for

I did read some where that for the Winter Olympics, Canon had set up a host of remote cameras. I assume that they were tethered to their media centre.

Just a thought. You could put the camera and laptop wherever you want to place it and run digicamcontrol on it for tethering. If you have a second PC at the house you can run a remote control / screen capture app like VNC to control it over wireless. This probably needs a bit more thought but I think the principle is ok.

With that model you can pull the files back to review as well.

I also have pocket wizard radios that I can trigger my camera with, but that's expensive unless you want them for flash use as well.

That is a nice idea, but I would not expose the laptop to the elements. It is much better connect the camera using a powered (boosted) USB and controlling the exposures via live view from the room.
