It's easy to configure and exceptionally easy to use. But I have two gripes about issues that I didn't discover until after I got it (but which are well-documented on Eye-Fi's website): 1) With my camera (a Nikon D40), the camera won't leave the power on to the card long enough after a picture is taken, so the pictures don't get uploaded. The workaround is easy - turn the camera off and back on. But it's annoying to have to remember to do that, because that's the point of the card - to not have to think about it. (Of course, this is really Nikon's fault, not Eye-Fi's, but it affects me nonetheless.) 2) The Eye-Fi has a feature that lets it upload both to a home computer and to a website (like Flickr or SmugMug). I knew that the Eye-Fi supported doing the uploads also to an FTP site, and I planned on using that feature to let it upload pictures to my home web server from anywhere I could get a wi-fi connection. It turned out that there were a number of problems with that plan: a) It only uses "FTPS" while "SFTP" would have been much easier for me to set up, and much more secure b) The pictures all go through Eye-Fi's servers before going to the FTP site, which I didn't realize (and this part isn't especially well documented), and I'm not OK with that c) It takes a long time for the pictures to actually make it from the card to Eye-Fi to the FTP server, so it was very hard to trust that the system was working reliably d) There's no way to tell the Eye-Fi to then NOT upload the pictures via my home wifi, if they were uploaded via FTP. So I just don't use the "upload via FTP" feature, and that's fine. So like I said, it's a good product that does what it says, so if you just want it to do the base things, go for it! On the other hand, if you have a D40, or you want to use it to upload to a home FTP site, consider this review before doing so. This review is from: Eye-Fi Connect X2 4 GB Class 6 SDHC Wireless Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-4CN (Electronics) I bought this because I take a LOT of pictures. I was afraid I would break the little tab that keeps my battery door closed because I am always taking the SD card out and putting it in my computer! The other problem is that I would often leave the SD card in the computer and wouldn't have any storage when I went out. The Eye-fi card eliminates these problems. Exactly what I wanted it for. The ONLY problem I have is that it won't let me take video in the Eye-fi sd card. This is a problem, because if I want to take video I have to put another SD card in, which is not convenient! So, if you don't take video with your camera, then the Eye-fi does exactly what it says it does and it's fantastic. Another nice feature is that the EYE fi lets you pick pictures you want to automatically share on your Facebook or other social networking site. Something I will take advantage of soon. This review is from: Eye-Fi Connect X2 4 GB Class 6 SDHC Wireless Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-4CN (Electronics) i bought this because i got tired of taking the SD card out of the camera every time i was finished taking pictures. i was a little skeptical about how well it would really work but i gotta say i'm impressed. i use a Mac and the software install was a breeze, if you are in range of your wireless network every picture you take is individually sent to the computer within 3-5 seconds. if you are away from your wireless network simply power on the camera when you get home and all the pics are uploaded instantly. as soon as i open iphoto it instantly imports all the photos and they are ready to view. this definitely makes my picture taking much easier !!!  No Longer Useful with Smartphones Popularity I got this card in the hope of using its upload to Facebook capabilities but the full story is that the card can only upload images to personal pages and is unable to upload... by Ice Love it, making life easier... I bought this for the many family events we have, after which I normally would import the photos to my computer and the upload to Picasa. by Amy A Great Card IF You Get A Good Copy Just received my second copy of this card and it works very well for casual shooting; uploading at reasonable speeds to my Apple Mac (via home wi-fi) and to my Droid phone (via... by ANJ It does what it says Product does what it says. I use it with my Mac (iPhoto) and have enjoyed the experience thus far - I purchased the product a week ago. by T. Cerone Not for serious use I got this device thinking that it would be cool to have a copy of my images appear on my phone or iPad for "instant preview. by James Peters Amazing wireless transfer feature to iPhones and Android phones It was so amazing to see photos taken on a regular digital camera being transfered wirelessly to my iPhone! by Bernard Pang Worth every penny I paid! I am using it for two month and honestly I never was satisfy by a piece of tech as much as this one. by A. Rabiee Great product, but doesn't delete automatically I love how the card automatically uploads pictures/videos to your computer instantly, so convenient! by lmjharper Makes My Life So Much Easier! Easier... not because I'm necessarily lazy, mind you. I just get tired of taking memory cards out of one item. Putting them into another. Over. And over. And over. by Matthew E. Coenen A bit disappointing Be warned if you upgrade to the geotagging dont get too excited. As far as the geotagging, its a bit erratic, one day it works, six days it dont! by Bob |
