Ya because its so hard to take out the card and put it in a card reader thats in everyones laptop or PC. Not only that but using a card reader is many times faster transfer. |
Also keep in mind no RAW format support... unless this version is different... |

Or just plug in your camera via USB and not even bother taking out the card, but that is not the point... Wirelessly upload photos to your computer and to your favorite photo sharing, printing, blogging or social networking website. It’s never been easier to share your memories while they are still fresh. |

Yow that's an expensive SD card! Hard to justify that vs. a $13 4GB SD card that you have to do a little manual labor with...especially in this economy. |

Well cheaper than the $129 retail price! Don't pay $13 for 4GB, get this 8GB for $13. Eye-Fi is for a different use than cheap storage only... |
I think people are missing the point. You are out shooting a party- and as you shoot each picture, it appears on your website or blog - in real time. |

Great deal. Ordered one. Thanks OP. Green for you. OP: I feel bad for you that some pp trashing your post for expensive card. Ignore those, they won't realize how useful the wifi feature is. This card is not for everyone. For some of us, it's more than justify for the extra $$$ here. |
GlassVial said:Sure, but is the cost justified by comparison? Obviously this card is not for everyone,... When introduced the Eye-Fi was $99 for a 2gig. |
"Like the Eye-Fi Home, the Eye-Fi Share wirelessly connects to your home Wi-Fi network and uploads your pictures." Don't forget the keyword here - "home". Keep this in mind... If it worked from ANY hot spot then it could justify the cost (and would probably be on my Christmas wish list). However, I'm pretty sure it has to be pre-configured for a particular access point. At the very least, you would have to set a WEP or WPA password unless you can get lucky enough to find an unprotected hotspot. Even most public unprotected hotspots require free registration through a web front-end that this card could not accommodate. In other words, I don't mean to sound contrary, but good luck getting this thing to work anywhere else besides your house... and if you're already home then what's the trouble in just popping it into your laptop or PC? |
OK then. Now for technical details, if you are out shooting a party, and there is Wi-Fi, how can you connect to the Wi-Fi network? |

But when you carefully examine the eye-fi website, it basically says take pictures, go home, and eye fi connects to your wireless router at home and upload to photo sharing website and/or your computer. So without eye-fi, you take pictures, go home, pull out your card, stick it in reader, and mass upload...and this is $70 more? oh, and why are you stupifying yourself on FW? |

dealsearch said:OK then. Now for technical details, if you are out shooting a party, and there is Wi-Fi, how can you connect to the Wi-Fi network? Exactly what I was saying... Ad-hoc connections aren't really possible. Only your pre-configured home network. I'll still green the post for the good price, even though I don't agree with the product. |
