Product Description
A Wireless Memory Card? Yes, there really is Wi-Fi inside that tiny little card. It's going to change the way people take, save and share photos. The Eye-Fi Card comes with everything needed to make it simple to set up and connect to your home Wi-Fi network. After that, pop the card into your digital camera and start capturing those memories. It stores pictures like a regular SD card no matter where you are, and uploads your photos automatically as soon as you return to your home network. All you have to do is turn the camera on.
Amazon.com Product Description
The revolutionary new Eye-Fi Card looks and works just like a standard 2GB SD card except it has a tiny secret: Wi-Fi is built in. Now, docking your digital camera, connecting cables, and fumbling with card readers are a thing of the past. The Eye-Fi card will wirelessly upload your photos from your camera onto your computer and the web.
It's as Easy as One-Two-Three (Cheese!)
Setting up the Eye-Fi Card couldn't be simpler. Install the included Eye-Fi Manager software on your home computer and connect the Eye-Fi card to your home Wi-Fi network. A USB memory card reader is included to simplify set-up. After that, just stick the Eye-Fi Card into your camera and go out and take pictures as you normally would; it's when you return home that the magic begins. Once it connects to your home network, photos are automatically uploaded to your computer and, if you choose, your favorite photo or social networking website. You Shoot Photos, Eye-Fi Does the Work
Uploading your photos to your computer and getting them where you want to share and print them is often a complicated and tedious task but Eye-Fi will do all the work for you, giving you more time to take more pictures and create more memories.  | Upload to Computer
Uploading photos to your computer requires that your computer be turned on and running the Eye-Fi Manager software. When it detects the Eye-Fi Card on the network, photos will be uploaded into the folder on your computer that you choose. You don't have to bother with cables or camera software; everything is automatic. |
Upload to Web
Eye-Fi also supports photo sharing and printing websites including Kodak Gallery, Snapfish, Shutterfly, Wal-Mart, Photobucket, Facebook, Webshots, Picasa Web Albums, SmugMug, Flickr, Fotki, TypePad, VOX, dotPhoto, Phanfare, Sharpcast and Gallery. It will automatically take care of log-ins and passwords, and it will even resize your photos if necessary for your chosen site. |  |
 | Upload to Computer and Web
If you choose to have your photos delivered to both your computer and online, the Eye-Fi Card first uploads your pictures to the Eye-Fi Service, which then sends a copy to the website and one to your computer. In this mode, the Eye-Fi Service will hold onto your photos and deliver them to your computer the next time you turn it on. The photo that is sent to the website might be resized, but the one sent to your computer will retain its full resolution. |
The included Eye-Fi Manager makes it easy to change preferences, letting you add wireless networks, change destinations, and adjust other settings. Specifications and Requirements
The Eye-Fi Card works with 802.11g, 802.11b and backwards-compatible 802.11n wireless networks. It supports 40/104/128-bit WEP encryption, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK for secure Wi-Fi transmission. It has a range of 90+ feet outdoors and 45+ feet indoors. The Eye-Fi Card works with virtually all digital cameras that accept SD memory cards, but you should check the Eye-Fi website for the most recent compatibility list (www.eye.fi). The Eye-Fi software works with Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Mac OS X (10.3 and 10.4) Please note: The Eye-Fi automatic wireless uploading process currently only supports jpeg files; if you are shooting other file types such as RAW, the Eye-Fi Card will function as a normal SD card and store photos but will not be able to wirelessly upload them.

Eye Fi with Canon SD550 and 30D w/Compact Flash Adp. July 4, 2008
Matt P. Beller
This has turned out to be a great product both for personal use and business/professional use.
The product works flawlessly with my SD550 point and shoot. My initial experience with it in my 30D was somewhat of a headache do to trial and error. Here are the steps I took to get it working. It did not work at all by default.. initially I got a CF error and I thought it had completely killed the card.
1. First I checked my firmware on my canon 30D.. I was one behind.. My camera was running 1.0.5 and I downloaded 1.0.6 from canon.
2. After the camera was updated I put the eye fi in the card adapter and put it in my 30D camera.. I still got the CF error. So I tried formatting in the camera and that corrected the CF error. I could take pictures with it.
3. I put the EyeFi card in the USB reader and plugged it into my computer and the Eye Fi manager was finally able to initialize the card again and restore the wireless settings..
4. The card now works both in my SD550 and my 30D.
Its possible that I could have just formatted the card to begin with in my 30D without doing the firmware update and that would have corrected it.. I dont know for sure.
You do see a reduced wireless radius while in the 30D probably due to the compact flash adapter. I added High Gain antenna to my router to help compensate.
Be very careful on which CF adapter you buy for this card. If you use the wrong one it can kill the card.
I recommend this store for the CF adapter. They have been thoroughly tested by the store and Eye-Fi.

 Excellent idea, too few formats! July 3, 2008
Jay Zerbe (Chicago, IL United States)
I love the convenience of this card. The download software is very easy to use. After initial setup, it works on it own! I like that it creates new folders by date as it downloads the photos. Makes organization quite easy. Download speed is quite fast. The only thing I would like is more formats for the cards (other sizes). This may not be technically possible, but I would buy another one for my small point-and-shoot camera as well, if Eye-Fi made a Memory Stick version... Great product!
Fantastic device, makes it so much easier to share photos July 1, 2008

This is a great product, I would highly recommend it. After using it for the last 6 months, it's consistently delivered on what it says it would do, but more importantly I'm noticing it really has made a difference in how we share photos with our friends and family making even the distant relatives feel more a part of our growing family.
It's not that using the cables to quickly pull a batch of pictures off of our camera was that hard before, but it was just annoying enough that we would wait for a week or two between download sessions. With the EyeFi, it's so super easy to get the pictures from the camera to our computer that we do it the same day they're taken every time. What I didn't realize ahead of time was how big a deal that seemingly small change would be. We happen to have a 1-year old daughter who changes every day, and getting pictures up onto the photo sharing site (Flickr for us) on the same day makes all the extended family feel like they're part of her growing up. Somehow seeing a new picture every day or two just feels more like you're there than seeing a batch of new pictures every week or two, and the EyeFi card makes it so simple that it's easy to do...
Packaging is very slick, somewhat Apple-esque, and gets you up and running quickly. Installation is a quick plug-and-play with your PC, pop it into the camera, and you're off and running. The EyeFi has worked flawlessly for us without having to touch it since installing. They do release updates every month or two to improve performance or add features, but it's up to you whether you want to download them (super simple if you do). Hasn't impacted batter life in any noticeable way, we're still getting hundreds of pictures between charges on our camera.
All in all delivers on its promises perfectly, and changes the way we share our photos (a bigger impact than I guessed before we started using it). A definite must-buy for any frequent photographer.
Eye-fi is a Great Product! June 30, 2008

When I first read about this product, I thought that it may be just another camera gadget that would clutter my bag - after all, how much effort does it take to pull and SD card and put it in the computer? Then I thought about something: If nothing else, this will save wear and tear on the camera and the socket that the card plugs in to.
I use a Canon XTi, so I got a CF converter to go with the Eye-Fi card. After setting it up on the PC, I plugged the card into my camera. It went in and started working flawlessly. I lost no functionality at all. When I take pictures, they upload to my computer via my wireless home network, and they also upload to my Smugmug site if I select that option. Double redundancy. If I am shooting in the field and have Internet access, which I usually do, someone at home can see what I have done.
The big advantage for me personally is not having to unplug cards from the camera or use USB cables to download pictures. Once I am sure that the photos are on my computer, I can delete them from the camera and start over again.
Well worth the price!
Love the technology June 26, 2008

I dabble in real estate photography and have always wanted to be able to take photos and instantly send them to a client while I am on the phone with them. This great device makes that possible and it is very easy to use. I am always near some sort of wireless hotspot so connecting is never an issue and I am very impressed with the speed and accuracy of this product.
I would definitely recommend it.
