   That was the gist of my original post.  For the benefit of anyone else   
   running into similar issues, the real culprit has proven to be the   
   camcorder's somewhat crippled implementation of networking.  I sent it   
   back to Canon under the warranty, and they returned it declaring there   
   was nothing wrong with it.  So I took them at their word and continued   
   the fight, which culminated in my discovery of the following   
   deficiencies when it comes to the camcorder's networking capabilities.   
      
   It can't connect to a server using SFTP on port 22, meaning that I had   
   to set up a straight port 21 FTP server on the Raspberry Pi i ended up   
   buying rather than relying on its built-in SSH/SFTP capability (don't   
   worry; I set up SSL to give me at least some security).  I did go ahead   
   and replace the router, though, and bought the Pi after that in itself   
   didn't help.   
      
   In addition, the camcorder appears not to be compliant with IPv6.  To   
   get it to connect to anythng I have to disable that in its settings and   
   go with IPv4 only.  That and its additional apparent inability to   
   connect using 5 GHz Wi-Fi makes me hope Canon has a firmware update in   
   the works to ensure that my investment with them continues to pay off as   
   technology continues to evolve-especialy since its user manual indicates   
   it SHOULD be able to do all of the above.   
      
   Anyway, the camcorder can do what I bought it to do, even if getting it   
   to wasn't as fast or easy as it should have been these days.
