Just a follow-up, someone’s camera was stolen and the auto-uploading from the Eye-Fi in the camera enabled the thieves to be caught. Pretty cool! :D

I think this card is perfect for the working photographer that wants to set up a view-as-you-shoot station. As it only uploads JPEGs, you can write JPEG+RAW to a card (or if you have 2 slots like Nikon D3 or Canon 1D3, RAW to one and small, highly-compressed JPEGs to another) and the jpegs will be uploaded.

You can then use something like http://www.ikontools.com/software/imagewatcher to automatically display your photos (with histogram) when they’re downloaded to your PC.

Very useful for quick checks whilst shooting!

[...] Paul Stamatiou For $99 I would definitely recommend the Eye-Fi. At that price you get 2GB and wireless functionality – thatâ€™s a steal. Iâ€™m going to set this up on my momâ€™s camera so she can put family pictures on her neglected Flickr account. The Eye-Fi receives 9 out of 10 Stammys. [...]

I was really interested in this, and looking to buy it but your review has pointed out a few possible points to consider first. I don’t take enough photos these days to make it worth Â£50 of my hard earned cash, (seriously working nights is not the way to earn a living).

Also like Andre the lack of control as to what photos get uploaded is a problem- iPhoto is lord and master of my photos! Cool as the idea is, and much as I would love to have it, it is just not for me.

I hope you get a commission on the Eye-Fi card I bought through Photojojo, because I would never have heard of it except for your review. Got it, love it. A _really_ impressive first effort. It Just Works. (Their Mac software has a couple of rough edges, but it’s perfectly functional.)

For those people worried about privacy… I have mine set to upload everything to private folders on SmugMug, and then I can go through and selectively choose which ones, if any, should be published to the world.

Is this card fast enough for cameras that can take multiple shots per second?

I think the inability to filter out bad photos could be a big problem for many people, but one that could be fixed with a software update. That is my biggest complaint with the device. Otherwise I would consider this a great Christmas present for photographers.

I was just wondering how demanding the card was on the cameras batteries? This may not be perfect technology yet but its an amazing step towards being something that everyone will want as a standard I think.

Wat about privacy? I’m sure there must be something for that. Say, someone takes pics that are personal and doesn’t want em to end up in Flickr. T

Haven’t they thought about that? If not, it should be taken care of in the near future.

Hmm, its a great idea for those compact-point-and-shoots, as you say.

But like you my D70 gets filled with shots from trips and i always shoot in RAW. This all means that its just not an option for me…

Nice kit, just hope they make it work properly soon. Can RAW be that hard ?

peace.

Thanks for the review Paul… I was wondering how the performance of this thing would stack up. I think the real power/functionality/usability from this thing is going to be with lower-resolution/higher-compression point and shoots rather than DSLRs, but for that it’s a wonderful idea and looks like its executed well.
