Eye-Fi Wireless Card for Digicams Review

- Wireless uploading is a capability that has been slow to catch on with digital cameras, perhaps because the models that have offered it haven't been otherwise compelling, or because getting a wireless connection to work is often a hassle. But the new Eye-Fi Card addresses both of those issues: This Wi-Fi-enabled SD Card works with almost any camera that uses that memory-card format, makes the wireless setup very simple, and imposes fewer limitations than some of the cameras with built-in Wi-Fi that I've seen in the past.

    Strengths: The memory card was very easy to set up. Works like a charm. I love the way it can upload photos directly to photo websites

    Weaknesses: I can't really tell if it seams to be taking more power from the battery. would be a weakness if it does, but I cannot really tell yet

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this product over two weeks ago from AOM and so far so good. I bought it overnight delivery because I read about this product, and me being a gadget freak needed to have it right away.I love the fact that my wife can take a picture of the kids at home and within seconds, I can log on to my kodak gallery and see the pictures she took. If she takes the pictures outside the house, all she has to do is turn on the camera when she gets home and the pictures automatically upload then. It really is Genious!

    Strengths: Easy Setup, incredibly fast uploads

    Weaknesses: Still a bit pricey

    Overall Evaluation: This was my holiday present to myself, and I have to say, I really gave myself a nice present. It took a total of 3 minutes to configure, even after having to open my wireless router settings to get my WEP key. I suggest if you're not conversant with configuring your wireless network that you acquaint yourself with the basics first, but really, the installation/configuration is very self explanatory and it walks you through the setup with ease.There's a wide choice and options for online photo-sharing sites, or you can opt for just storing the pix on your computer's hard drive - or both. In either case, the uploads happen quickly, and I had uploaded my first picture before I even had realized I had done so.This is definitely going to be my best holiday present this year.
