I use this with a dslr and seeing the images with out having to take the card out of the camera is great!

Takes quite a bit of time to upload particularly videos. I bought this to take video interviews of family members and not run out of memory. Hope it works well.

The setup and use was straight forward and easy. The negative is the file transfers can not handle the large RAW files sizes fast enough for professional use. I was using this with a Canon 5D3 in studio, and was hoping to speed up my work flow by having the files automatically sent to my PC as I took them. Unfortunately the file transfer speeds were way too slow and you'll use up the 8GB space in no time.

I'm using a Nikon D90 and tried setting Eye-Fi for direct link to my iPad. The product is simply immature--looks like they released it well ahead of when it should have been. Set up fails out of the box, requiring software and firmware updates immediately. Connection between camera Eye-Fi and iPad is dropped regularly. Pix take forever to show up on the iPad--and many never arrive. It's clearly not "instant" as the product is advertised. Eye-fi is a great idea with poor/premature execution. I returned mine and will wait until this product matures or a competitor beats them to it. Maybe Apple will step up to this challenge!

I love this card. I wish I could afford one for each of my cameras. It does work/fit in all of my cameras that use a regular SDHC card. I can use it in which ever camera I am using that day. I have Nikons, Canons, Kodaks so I believe it will work in most brands(probably not Olympus cameras, unless they use regular sdhc cards now. I know they use to only use the card made by olympus)

I purchased two of these, thinking that they would be a great addition to my cameras, particularily for extended travel. At various times, each of them has become corrupted, losing the photos stored on them. When this happens, the photos are unrecoverable. I tried 5 different programs including Sandisk, Stellar Phoenix, Photo Recovery, Disk Drill and another I can't recall at the moment. A lot of wasted time and money, but not a single photo recovered due to the proprietary system. While these may be OK for casual photography, where loosing a days photos is an acceptable risk for the cards convienance, I will never use one again for any critical work. Best for casual point and shoot photography rather than mission critical work

Just received email confirmation from SamF at Eyefi, this does not work in the Nikon D800 in Direct mode. I can't get it to work in any mode, but Direct Mode is probably the reason why any professional would use it, and is why I bought it. Don't waste your time with this device.

Unfortunately, the jury is still out on this card. I received it and the first one didn't work. Eye-Fi replaced it promptly (and at their costs for shipping with a little prodding) but the replacement just arrived today. So far so good. It is a good idea so we'll see how the second card does.

I use this card to enable my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 to shoot tethered. I've found no other option. I shoot portraits against a green screen. The Eye-Fi card facilitates transfer of RAW and JPEG to my computer. JPEGS transfer much faster than RAW files (because of file size.) I use FXHome PhotoKey 4 (set to watch the Eye-fi upload folder and automatically export the replaced background) and Adobe Lightroom (set up to watch the output folder from PhotoKey) so that customers can immediately see a mock up of the results and select the best portrait. Unfortunately I've noticed that in a room full of people with cell phones (wireless noise), transfers can be unreliable or slow. My solution is to move the camera closer to the computer. I recommend if shooting tethered that the camera and the computer be within 20 feet. I also use an Apple Airport Express to setup a local wireless hotspot to link my Eye-Fi card and my computer anywhere I go. Although the Eye-Fi card has the ability to connect directly to my computer by setting up it's own wireless hotspot, I have found that it is not as reliable as using the Apple Airport Express. Software setup took a while to get right on my Macbook Pro. I needed to go to the Internet and update the software that came on the card. Setup was also not intuitive, but I figured it out after some playing around. Everything works and all in all I'm satisfied.

I am able to upload, through Direct Mode, to Nikon cams with two slots, by copying "locked" files to the Eye-Fi card set up for overflow. The Eye-fi card then sends the selected files to my iPhone and I email the photos to my client for immediate web upload. (Easily done during a sporting event time out or a lull in any event)

My first Eye-Fi card was in my point and shoot Canon A630, I liked it so much I got one for my wifes Camera. I use a Nikon D5100 and was afraid that the card would not keep up with the 6.3 FPS sequence mode but it does. I just returned from a shoot in Utah where I shot 684 frames and the convenience of down loads at the end of the day is fabulous. The 8GB is large enough to shoot both RAW and JPG and they both download with the Pro Card.

Make sure you follow instructions, the initial setup requires a few steps involving your PC. Also be sure to restart your phone after everything is setup.

the direct method with the apps for both android and ios are a little frustrating to configure. you also need a pc everytime you need to reconfigure the settings. i wish you could just pair the devices once then auto switch methods by simply flicking a switch on the app side.

I saw this and thought it was too good to be true. It isn't! It works pretty well in studio. When going on-location the card stores the images and when you return in range of your wifi router the images begin downloading. While it's not blazing fast, the card capacity is plenty to buffer up while you transfer to the router.

The wi-fi could not keep up with a pro camera Even one frame every 5-10 seconds overwhelmed the thru-put frames were lost It moght be fine for small JPGS

Pretty nice gadget. range can be a bit limited based on the material of you camera housing (that whole faraday cage thing). Peer to peer REALLY needs to covered in depth in the installation instructions. You are NOT always going to be close to a/your wireless network....

Just push the button and it's done, quick and easy, I just love it.
