"BUYER BEWARE. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR PICTURES.", THIS IS THE LETTER I WROTE TO EYEFI THIS MORNING:

Hello,

I am writing to let you know that I am returning your most expensive version of the EyeFi card with geotagging ($130+ USD). To describe my experience with your card as disappointing would be a vast understatement. I don't care if you can fix the problem with all of your cards, because the pictures that were taken with this memory stick were irreplaceable. I took approximately 50 pictures at my father's 60th and my only nephew's first birthday party of family and friends, many that I will never see again. I trusted your card to work perfectly. The first 12 or so pictures were uploaded safely, but all the rest were never uploaded and now the card can not be read in any device. I have tried software to recover the data, but the memory stick is simply not recognized in any device. My wife was crushed when she found out that the I can't access the card (I build computers and have never run into this problem with ANY memory card, EVER). I want EyeFi to recover my images and give me a full refund. Please do not send the card back to me as I have lost trust in your company and have no faith in your products.

I wanted to put this message up as a warning to other users considering the purchase of this device. This message will be placed on all websites that I can place a review on this product for, as apparently, I am not the only one with this problem. I have read numerous similar stories like mine in forums and on the web.

Thank you, EyeFi, for the worst Holiday experience.

"Stopped working after a few days.", I was able to set it up to use my home network easily enough and it transferred the files just about as quickly as we could take them. A few days later I was taking Christmas photos and it simply stopped working, even as a simple SD card, in the middle of everything. I've tried every camera and PC SD/SDHC card reader I can get my hands on but none of them are able to access the card anymore. I was told there would be no way to recover any of the photos. I've never had any problem with any of the dozen other SD/SDHC cards I've used ranging from 256MB to 16GB.

"Worked for 2 days", This would be a great device if it worked. The card was fully functional for 2 days, then abruptly stopped being recognized by either the camera or the computer I used to set it up. Great disappointment. I have contacted Eye-Fi customer service and will update this post based on their response.

"First it stumbled, then it died...", The speed with which the card arrived gave a new meaning to two-day shipping. It was ordered on 12/1, and showed up on 12/2. Kudos to Amazon and UPS.

I shot a few photos right away and was able to get them downloaded and geotagged without any trouble. This is my second Eye-fi card (yes, they can be broken), and once you accept the quirkiness of how they move photos around, it does make some sense. Also, being able to get a text message on my cell to tell me the card is finished offloading the newest images is a useful feature, I liked that.

Over the next few days I shot some more pictures, and the geotagging never worked well:

1) One set of photos on 12/4 was tagged with a location 40 miles away.
2) Another set on 12/5 was not tagged at all, even though I was well inside Skyhook's WPS coverage area (according to Skyhook's website).
3) A third set of photos on 12/6 was (oddly) partly geotagged and partly not geotagged. The tagging was accurate, but the images were all shot over ten minutes in and around a neighbor's house, and should all have gotten the same location.
4) I would tell you how the fourth set of photos was geotagged (walking around UNC's campus on 12/7), but after taking a half a dozen shots, the card just plain died. My Canon said it was unusable and locked. My Nikon said it was corrupt, but formatable. My PC could not see it at all. After formatting in the Nikon, it would immediately read as corrupted if I tried to use it in either camera.

So, my experience is that the Eye-fi Explore works just fine as an Eye-fi card, but that the geotagging is a bust: sometimes it does not work at all, sometimes it works wrong. As a bonus, the card died in just five days. I mailed everything back to Amazon yesterday.

The card was a gift. I hate having to return gifts, it's awkward.

Aside from the bad geotagging and the rapid failure, I would have given this card four stars. It still gets two, since it did function just fine as a vanilla Eye-fi card for a few days.


"Geotagging for dummies", You might notice some claims of issues for geotagging, you may want to first check if your home is within the skyhookwireless coverage area (the company that provides for the geotagging connection). Their map of coverage areas is available on the following website: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/coverage.php

Or if you're willing to plug in the common WiFi access points you use in your area if it is not covered, you can do so on the following website:
http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php

You'll need the address and be connected to the wi-fi to see their Mac-Address so that skyhookwireless can "triangulate" your location.

"5.0 out of 5 stars Easily and Wirelessly Transfers your 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!

"Painfull...for the most part", Liked it from the start. Installation was easy. It's so easy there's not even an install disc. The software is on the SD card itself. If you can insert a usb stick and click yes a few times then you can install this. The interface is clean and lightweight. The software struggled with my Vista 64bit setup but was fine with XP 64. The problem was, and still is, that I have to open the eye-fi manager software two or three times to get it working. Most times it will load the main page but a few seconds later it reloads the page and says I'm disconnected. Even with this problem I give 5 stars. It's user-friendly and nifty. The Explore works in Raw+Jpeg mode. It uploads all the Jpegs and leaves the RAW on the card.

*edit* -So far I haven't been able to geotag a thing. I've turned it on and I shoot in downtown san diego so no problem with hotspots. Everything uploads fine, but nothing is tagged with location data. What gives???

"AWSOME!!", If you don't have it, your missing the boat. This IS the future of pic sharing and storage.

"Fantastic Product", This is a fantastic product. The install was painless - it dealt with security on my home network seamlessly. You don't even need to deal with an install CD-ROM/DVD - plug the included reader in your USB port and it self-installs.

It's almost like magic - take pictures at home and they just appear on your computer and photo hosting service.

Very highly recommended.



"Very cool product, almost perfect!", I purchased the eye-fi explore for the ability to geotag my pictures and to make sure I never accidentally deleted a shot that I really liked. After a little troubleshooting (and a very speedy response from eye-fi customer care) we were able to get it to work with my Canon XSi.

The card works great! The little thumbnail on your desktop is helpful too, as it shows the photos transfering right onto your computer.

The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star review is the current lack of support for RAW photos, only JPEG. While this is a minor gripe for most, the XSi shines in RAW mode. I believe this is a feature that will be added, so I will have full functionality at that time.

Wonderful product, highly recommended and a must have for all SD card users!
