Yes, but for some cameras it is $900. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/wireless/wt-5a-wireless-transmitter.html http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nik

There's also eye-fi and other options as well. If it's something important for you buy a 6D or another camera that has built-in support. The thing with camera system is you need to have an idea of what you want to shoot and build your system towards that. The smartphone is a great all-purpose camera, if you're using a SLR/Mirrorless it's because you want to go beyond that.

Even if we ignore the wifi feature, most cameras let you connect directly the computer and transfer images. you don't need SD card slot or a dedicated card reader. I have a full frame camera and the raw images are ~30 MB. I wouldn't want to transfer 32GB of data over wifi anyway.

  I think the author is imagining going from shutter press to a CMS or social media in seconds. Any workflow that involves a computer at all has already lost. If cameras can produce JPEGs presumably they should be able to produce low-res JPEGs.

    yeah there's no reason why lightroom couldn't work on the camera itself if it can run on an ipad. it's not like the high end dslrs couldn't be fitted with the necessary compute power - lightroom runs on old ipads after all.

      And for that matter you should be able to put a SIM card into the camera for direct network access. It's also big enough to put some nice antennas inside it, so you should have better signal than a phone.

    Yup, these controls already exist. You can do RAW+s/m/l/o JPG you just have a smaller buffer when you do this.

My Sony a6000 has Wi-fi built in. It's a bit of a pain to set it up (entering a password via a control wheel), but it's there and you could create a workflow with it from Camera to Laptop to your Editor during an event.
