User Submitted Eye-Fi Share Wireless 2 GB SD Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-2GB Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-09-30 EYE-Fi Review by Luther M Beal I love the idea of the EYE-Fi card. I like it so much I bought three (3) cards, but I was disappointed to learn I can connect and register only one to my computer. I wish you would fix it so that one could own several of these at a time. When traveling, I often fill several memory cards. The first card I had no problem setting up, but the second and third I had to call for tech help and it took many ours. A nice young man tried to help, but his knowledge was limited and he had to wait for the help of those with more experience. Date: 2008-09-15 Easily and Wirelessly Uploads Photos This is the best new product I have ever seen! This card works perfectly with many of my SD cameras completely rendering cables useless!! First off, the registration. A quick and simple registration (which you must have an internet connection for) helps you register the Eye-Fi Card with Eye-Fi's server to prevent unauthorized users from using *your* Eye-Fi Card. During the registration process, you also set up your wireless network (with your personal wireless DHCP enabled router), which works with Open, WEP or WPA encryption. It sends a test packet to the Eye-Fi Server, and once it verifies it's arrival, BAM! Your wireless network is set up. The next two are setting up your photo sharing accounts, personally, I use Webshots, and also directing your photos where to save on your computer. After that, you slap your Eye-Fi Card in your camera, take a picture and wammo! The picture is on the hard drive and on the photo sharing web site! With so many new features added in the past few months, like geotagging and hotspot access on the Explore Card, this has become a necessity for anyone who uses a digital camera on a regular basis. I have not noticed any excessive battery usage on any of my cameras, which are two Nikons and a Canon. Now, there are additional features, such as e-mail and SMS notifications, so if I'm not near my computer, I don't have to check the Eye-Fi Manager to see if my pictures have uploaded, my phone will tell me so. It's a great product, but, please, don't buy this card with the intention that it will do what it is not advertised to do, such as create a wireless connection for your PDA, transfer RAW and movie files, send pictures back and forth between your digital picture frame and your camera. No, only JPG files, folks. And it does it flawlessly! Date: 2008-09-12 Eye-Fi Wireless Card The Eye-Fi Card only transfers jpeg files. Nowhere in their advertisement does it list limit type of photo uploads. Althought the ad does not mislead it fails to completely inform. If I had know how it works I would not have purchased the card. Date: 2008-07-23 Don't trust your precious pics to this card! My husband bought this for me for Christmas 2007 after I saw it on the Today Show. I thought it would be the coolest thing. We left for Disney World in January and I thought this the perfect opportunity for the first use. If I only knew what headaches it would cause! After about 25 pictures being taken on a Kodak EasyShare camera ( which I was told the card would be compatible with) the card would not take anymore pictures and kept saying on screen that the card needed to be formatted ( which I had done the day I received it as instructed in directions ). Needless to say I was upset, but not as much as when I got home and called tech support. They tried to do everything in the world over the phone to fix the problem. They told me they had been having trouble with Kodak cameras with this card! They said they could not do anything for me, but send me another card. That did not make any difference to me,because we have been to Disney World many times, but this set of pics were the most special! My 6 year old son has been a Star Wars fanatic since he was 3 and they have a Jedi Training Acadamy and he was chosen to be in it! So I had all those pics of him fighting with his light saber and several pics of him fighting DARTH VADER! He also had his pic made with his jedi master! It was a dream come true for him and I wanted to have them framed for him. But, because this defective card failed, I could do nothing and we will never have them! They even tried to send them to the tech guys at the company and they could not retreive my pics either. I would think if you make a product, you could fix it or open it to transfer pics to a CD. Guess not! So, I was told today JULY 23,2008 that they were sorry they could not do their job! I sent the replacement they sent me back and got a refund because I would not risk losing anymore precious memories! Be careful with this product!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Date: 2008-07-13 Eye-Fi Memory Card Easy to install and use. A great convienence to upload your photos to your favorite photo sharing website.
