(Works well but does not seem to transfer video recorded on camera) (5.0 out of 5 stars Easily and Wirelessly Transfers your Photos!!) I have to say, this Wi-Fi Enabled SD card is fantastic. I purchased it for a recent vacation and it worked flawlessly. Initial set-up is quick and thankfully idiot proof with all installation software on the card itself. You snap a photo and almost immediately it's uploaded to your local computer and, if you choose, up to the cloud to Picasa Web Albums or any of a number of online photo sites of your choice. Upload times vary based on your distance to your (or an open) Wi-Fi network . Geo-tagging seems to be based on Wi-Fi triangulation so you'll need to be within range of more than one Wi-Fi network to tag the photos' location. Another advantage is that you get three copies of a photo so back-up is less of an issue. One copy on the card, one on your local PC and one in the cloud. Once set up, it's automatic and I've not seen a significant battery drain with using this card. Overall, the Eye-Fi is a fantastic addition to my gadget arsenal making life easier and adding cool functionality. Tiny wi-fi embedded in another device; a taste of the future. So it isn't embedded in our refrigerator quite yet and unfortunately not our thermostat without awkward expensive smart home set ups. However, this is a perfect application. I hate plugging in cables; this laborious task is annoying and time consuming and sometimes the computer I'm at doesn't have a driver for the camera (in my opinion they should all just be read as generic storage). The GeoTagging has worked all over Chicago, however, I had trouble in the suburbs getting a good lock even in a public square near a Starbucks and other businesses that should have a signal. I wish you could just at the time which web service to upload to but you can select just one. It uploads to my Picasa and sends me an e-mail and text message when it starts and finishes with thumbnails. I chose private picasa albums over straight to Facebook for self censoring. The set up is done with a card reader so you can load the wifi networks on the card. I don't like this. It should just push it from the web, but there's no receive functionality so it can't. The geotagged map in the Picasa Web albums is sweet, tracking my night from walking along the river, to dinner, to the bars and back home. The biggest issue is that the camera has to be on and I can only set my camera to be on for 10 minutes or so of inactivity so I have to press a button a couple times to upload large 10MP files. Firmware update to increase speed comes soon. I love this eye-fi card. I have a baby and we take a lot of photos. I now can near-instantly have each photo transferred to my home computer as well as Picasaweb. I save hours on each photo set. The only thing that would be better is one that's in a CF card format for my 'prosumer' quality Canon Digital camera. An SD to CF adapter does not work. I highly recommend this item and expect that soon, all cameras will have built in wifi. It works amazing for photos. Uploads them speedy. However one thing I didn't realize before purchase was videos recorded on my Kodak camera don't wirelessly transfer. So I still have to connect a cable to my camera when I want to take those from the camera. Would be a 5 star review if it handled the videos. This is the best new product I have ever seen! This card works perfectly with many of my SD cameras completely rendering cables useless!! First off, the registration. A quick and simple registration (which you must have an internet connection for) helps you register the Eye-Fi Card with Eye-Fi's server to prevent unauthorized users from using *your* Eye-Fi Card. During the registration process, you also set up your wireless network (with your personal wireless DHCP enabled router), which works with Open, WEP or WPA encryption. It sends a test packet to the Eye-Fi Server, and once it verifies it's arrival, BAM! Your wireless network is set up. The next two are setting up your photo sharing accounts, personally, I use Webshots, and also directing your photos where to save on your computer. After that, you slap your Eye-Fi Card in your camera, take a picture and wammo! The picture is on the hard drive and on the photo sharing web site! With so many new features added in the past few months, like geotagging and hotspot access on the Explore Card, this has become a necessity for anyone who uses a digital camera on a regular basis. I have not noticed any excessive battery usage on any of my cameras, which are two Nikons and a Canon. Now, there are additional features, such as e-mail and SMS notifications, so if I'm not near my computer, I don't have to check the Eye-Fi Manager to see if my pictures have uploaded, my phone will tell me so. It's a great product, but, please, don't buy this card with the intention that it will do what it is not advertised to do, such as create a wireless connection for your PDA, transfer RAW and movie files, send pictures back and forth between your digital picture frame and your camera. No, only JPG files, folks. And it does it flawlessly! For those who tag or organize, who blog or share in real-time, who need to upload here, there, or somewhere else; and for all the rest who are simply passionate about managing, sharing, and saving their memories: there is now the Eye-Fi Explore Wireless SD card. It uploads photos wirelessly to your computer and to the web, of course. But, Eye-Fi Explore also automatically adds geographic location labels to your photos and allows you to upload from more than 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the nation. Your memories will be easier to search and more fun to share with geo tags, and you'll be able to upload them while on the go. A Wireless Memory Card? Yes, there really is Wi-Fi inside that tiny little card. It's going to change the way you take, save and share photos.
It makes your camera a Wi-Fi camera. Upload your photos automatically. Photos shouldn't be trapped in your camera. Set them free effortlessly and wirelessly. The Eye-Fi Card is a wireless SD memory card for your digital camera. It stores pictures like a standard SD memory card, but also uses your Wi-Fi network to automatically upload images from inside your camera to your PC or Mac. No cables, no cradles, no fuss. It also neatly organizes your photo uploads by date in the folder you choose. |
