Customer Reviews

The little things they don't tell you
There are a few things that are not in the documentation or made clear in the advertising that may impact your use. 1)As mentioned in an earlier review, the application this device talks to must have an internet connection back to the Eye-Fi server to be set up. 2)The Eye-Fi will not connect to an ad-hoc network, i.e. you cannot just have it talk directly to your laptop. While you can use a small router such as the Apple Airport Express to set up a small network, then back to item #1, it must have an internet connection to make it work. So if you were wanting to do a location shoot where there was no internet available, you better hope everything was setup correctly in advance back at the office where it could connect..

And although this is in the documentation, it will ONLY transfer jpgs.. So if you have a DSLR that may capture to a RAW+jpg or TIFF,, it will only see and transfer jpgs.. So you have to take a chip to your computer anyway..

But as a little fun product that allows you to upload to a photosite on the net,, it works.f

Interesting novelty, but not practical
If you are interested in this product because you want to stop using USB cables or card readers to get your pics on your computer, then you might not be getting what you expect. If you live in an apartment or dormroom and want to quickly get your pics posted on Facebook, Flikr, Shutterfly, etc., then this product is good. But for most other users, not so much, as I will explain in detail below. (Reviews of this product seem to illicit some emotional reactions, so I will stick to the facts with this less than favorable review.)

(1) The range on this product is way less than advertised. I had to bring my camera to within 5 feet of my computer for it to connect. If you live in a small apartment or dorm, no big deal. But if you have to walk across the house to get the camera within 5 feet of your computer for the transfers to start, is it really so much easier than using a USB cable?

(2) The EyeFi software is browser-based, and needs to be in constant contact with EyeFi's servers for picture transfers to occur. Even if you are only transfering pictures to your computer (and aren't having them uploading to a picture service), your computer has to be in continual contact with EyeFi's servers. Why is this such a big deal? Because EyeFi's servers are buggy and slow. It took me over 20 minutes to transfer pictures to my computer with EyeFi when it would have taken 15 seconds using a USB cable or card reader. Oh, and since your camera has to be on (obviously) for the pictures to transfer, the long transfer time leads to quickly drained camera batteries. (Note, EyeFi admitted that their servers were overwhelmed on Christmas Day because usage exceeded their expectations. But if their infrastructure can not handle the number of EyeFi cards in the market, isn't that a reason to NOT have their software be browser-based?)

(3) The EyeFi does not transfer video (EyeFi should make this more explicit in its marketing materials), so you'll need to use a USB cable or card reader if you use your camera for video.

(4) The EyeFi "software" does not delete pictures after it transfers them. So at some point you will have to traditionally connect the camera/card to your computer just to delete them. Unless you want to spend the time doing it manually on your camera.

So, in short, even though pictures do wirelessly transfer to your computer, you still have to set the camera next to your computer anyway, wireless transfers take longer than the traditional methods, and you'll have to traditionally connect the card or camera to your computer at some point anyway. At the end of the day, the "wow" factor of a teeny-tiny itty-bitty WiFi on the card doesn't make anything any easier. Unless your primary goal is getting all your pictures onto Facebook/Flikr ASAP.

UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS AUTOMATICALLY!!
This is the one camera accessory you absolutely must have! I am out taking photos of my friends and family and I can't wait to share them with everyone. When I get home I turn on my camera and walk away. The photos are uploaded to my dekstop and Facebook automatically. No more having to sit down, transfer the photos to my PC then upload them to Facebook for all my friends to see. This saves me time and energy. I don't even have to think about it - it is DONE!
