And the entire product experience is built with simplicity. But snapping photos and automatically uploading them in real time to share is truly fantastic, especially when the images can be better than one’s camera phone. Sure, the Eye-Fi is basically a cradle replacement. Once configured and in a ‘home’ environment it is arguably easier getting images from your camera back to your computer, but you really wouldn’t want to use it as a mass transfer alternative to a card reader. Additionally, I wouldn’t use it for the sharing feature anyway, as I always tweak photos before sending them anywhere. The minimal convenience that I could gain from this card is nowhere near enough reason to shoot JPEG over RAW. That’s enough to keep me from getting one, as I only shoot in RAW. As such, expect to see the Eye-Fi card more in high school and college students’ point & shoot cameras than in serious photographers’ DSLRs.įor now, Eye-Fi only works with JPEG images. It’ll get their party pictures on Photobucket or flickr with less effort than the traditional method. It takes a lot out of their work flow, which they don’t want to have a work flow anyway. I think the people that will appreciate this device are the MySpace and Facebook users that like to share photos with their friends.

If they’re in range of the network (install a few access points if needed), images can go straight to the computer or, say, Smugmug and they’re selling photos faster and more efficiently. Think about the photographers that you see at theme parks or special events. However, some users will benefit from this technology right away. It’s not quite there yet, as you’ll see from reading some of the reviews below. I see a lot of potential in this technology for studio shooters. It’s got 2GB of storage, so if you’re not in range, it can hold on to plenty of photos until you get back within range of your network.įor some, this card could come in quite handy. If you’re in range of your wireless network, the Eye-Fi card automatically uploads the images to your computer and photo sharing websites.
