"Worthless Eye-Fo"
Service from the supplier was excellent. The item is worthless. Worked only once and then I was unable to get it to upload or even recognize the chip. It's a very expensive SD card reader and 2 Gig chip.

"Eye-Fi more than capable"
When I bought the Eye-Fi, I was aware that you need to have a home wi-fi network to make it work. This was not the case when I discovered some folks have gotten it to work in a peer-to-peer mode using the D-Link DWL-G730AP Pocket Router. SInce the Eye-Fi is looking for a wireless router, the Pocket Router connects to the Eye-fi just fine after setup in client mode. I connected the D-Link to my laptop's LAN port and the power cord to the laptop's USB port and I was ready to go. With the current updates to the software and firmware, the transfers are speedy and reliable. I use ACDsee Photo Manager to view the picture transfers as they come over the link. I can view them automatically if you use the sync folder option in ACDsee. This is handy if I am doing a shoot. The pictures pop up almost immediately after I take them, allowing me to review the photos in full size as I take them.

The only complaints that I have are the short range of the wi-fi connection... about 30-40 feet max., and the other is that only JPEG files can be transferred.

All in all, I'm satisfied with the Eye-Fi. If you want to see info about the D-Link Pocket Router, see it here on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DWL-G730AP-Wireless-Pocket-802-11g/dp/B0002Z45DQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1223759894&sr=8-1


"Excellent concept, good product"
Eye-Fi card is a good product, a bit slow on transfer and consuming the batteries at an estimated 3x rate compared with a regular card (due to the long "awake" times the camera needs to stay up in order to transmit the pictures - if there was any "hand-shake" between card and camera, probably it would be intelligent enough to inform "hey, I'm transmitting, I'll let you know when you can go to sleep mode" and not waste battery). Relatively easy setup, very nice packaging (simple but smart and fancy). I'm glad I purchased it, the pictures are usually in my computer by the time I finished taking snapshots of my son.

"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.

"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!
