Wireless card maker Eye-Fi today announced that its 4GB Eye-Fi Share Video and Eye-Fi Explore Video memory cards now let users upload videos directly from their video-enabled camera to pre-selected web sites such as Picasa Web Albums, Photobucket, SmugMug, YouTube, and Flicker, without the need for a computer. While this is primarily intended for compact digital camera users, it can have an impact on the growing number of video-capable DSLRs on the market. Both cards are expected to sell for less than $100. At the same time, Wi-Fi is reportedly dropping the price of its 2GB Share card, to $59.<\/p>\n

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – May 5, 2009 – More than 40% of consumers who share videos think it takes too much time to upload them, according to the Consumer Electronics Association\u2019s 2009 report Digital Imaging – A Focus on Sharing.

\u201cSome memories are better captured on video. As a parent, I love to shoot videos of my kids and share them with friends and relatives across the globe,\u201d said Ziv Gillat, co-founder and vice president of business development for Eye-Fi. \u201cThe old way of carrying around a separate device and manually uploading video files to my computer and then to the Web is a hassle.
