User Submitted Eye-Fi Share Wireless 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-2GB Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-04-14 Amazing Technology - The future is here! I'm a gadget guy who has to have the latest and greatest of everything, and I think this is the latest AND the greatest. No, it's not perfect, but it amazed me and that is hard to do these days! The setup worked as it should, except for some reason I had to enter my WEP password a few times before it took. I use Kodak Gallery, and that set-up step was as easy as telling the EyeFi program my email and Kodak password. Instant connection. I then put the card in my camera, took a picture, and saw from the computer it was already being uploaded to my PC and to Kodak Gallery. SLICK! I take hundreds of pictures every week, and I sort of dread the hour or so I have to spend doing this task. It is especially frustrating when I am taking pictures of something to post on-line because I will take a picture, take out the SD card, transfer it to my computer, then realize I need another photo, place SD back in the camera and repeat. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE NOW!!! I am using a Nikon D40. The setup program had specific instructions on how to change the Nikon power settings so that the card stays powered long enough to upload the photos. No noticeable additional battery drain, but the Nikon battery life is a wonder unto itself anyway. Room for improvement: Well, it isn't perfect. The WIFI range appears to be about half of what my laptops get. I was hoping I could be in the back yard or at least the living room (100-200 feet away) and have this magic process work, but I pretty much have to have the camery in the bedroom where my WiFi router is. Overall, highly recommended! Date: 2008-04-12 I take SO MANY more pictures! Wow, this product is SO AWESOME. If you have a wireless network at home and a camera this supports, BUY THIS! I had to do set up twice before it worked automatically. But after the 2nd time it became exactly what they advertised. I use it with Kodak Gallery. I used to miss or forget to upload pictures but now they just upload themselves and I can look thru the albums it creates and share quickly. Better yet, I can order my pictures to pick up at Target and have them in hand so quickly! Anyway, I highly recommend this product. If your camera is not supported, get another camera! It's really that good. Date: 2008-04-12 Perfect labor-reducing wireless solution! The Eye-Fi card is a perfect labor-reducing wireless solution for photography at home - the photos upload as you take them, so you never have to do that step. That being said, in one of my cameras with a metal body, the signal strength is poor. Date: 2008-04-09 Great Product but still a few bugs This is great product but the software behind it still has a few kinks that need to be ironed out. I thought this would be an ideal product for the non-technical folks in my family up easily upload their pictures. However with frequent (though necessary) updates and many glitches, this product is only suitable for tech-savvy early adopters. There is little or no support for this product when it doesn't work. I have had to remove mine from my camera because it interferes with the working of my wi-fi network. It's disappointing that this review is the only way I can let the manufacturer know! Date: 2008-04-07 Great Great but not always easy to use, need some process. Wish it would be easier like with the wire. (Use a Mac book pro with Iphoto)
