Thumbs up Eye-Fi card...I think I'm in love...

I recently updated my camera and decided to spend a little extra to get an Eye-Fi card. After using it for a couple of days I have to say I LOVE IT!!! Yes, it's a little pricey but for someone as lazy as me, it's PERFECT!

Using my home wireless network, it takes my pictures from my camera, to my phone, and then to my COMPUTER!!! The images transfer automatically! EEEEEE!!!

Last night I took pictures at my son's soccer game, came home, turned the camera on and in less than FIVE minutes my pictures were on my phone AND on my computer.

Just thought I'd share my new toy with you! Christmas is coming, ya know.

That sounds awesome Penny! I do love that about iCloud and my phone. Everything I take on my phone is automatically in Aperture. But, it would be great to have on my regular camera too. If you don't mind my asking, how much was it? Maybe I could talk DH into getting something like that. He does love his technology.

I've been pining for one for awhile but it's not compatible with my old Rebel XT. I know the new Canon 6D has wifi built in so I imagine auto uploading like the iPhone will become standard for DSLRs eventually too. I hope so anyway because as a lazy uploader I would love that.

Lydia, it's was @ $80. But I'm Terrible at transferring pictures. In fact, I still have pics from this summer sitting on my old camera. Plus, now it will be easier to add my camera pics to Instagram.

Lynnette, there are quite a few p&s with it built in already. I'm sure in a couple of years it will be standard.

Yeah, I know, but I want it for my DSLR. I use my iPhone so much more than my DSLR now for that reason. It's just so much easier when it upload on it's own.

I just got one a month ago or so, too! It took a bit for me to break through our firewall, so it did just sit there for awhile... But it is awesome that it sucks the photos from the camera onto the computer... and even if it's downloading and you need to take a photo, it just picks up where it left off. The only thing I don't like about it is that I traded in a high "speed" capacity card for this, so photos are a twitch slower saving to my camera - but I'll take it over loosing photos because I haven't downloaded them or having to find the USB cord for it... haha

When hubby got mine, the Best Buy dude said that all SD cards next year are going to be wifi... not sure if that is true, just what that guy said...

I live under a rock and this is the first time I've seen the product. What a great idea!

I had never heard of this until today. My family teases me for being so terrible at uploading pictures. This would be awesome! I checked and it is compatible with my camera. I sent the link to the hubby as a potential Christmas or birthday gift for me.

That would be amazing. I checked it out and they have a 4GB card for $40. Not as much memory, but if it keeps uploading and clearing space on the card, I might not need as much memory. lol

I wish it was available in a CF card and not just SD cards, both of my DSLR's (XTi & 7D) take CF cards. It seems like it would be really handy to have though!
