The editors didn't like

  • Does not keep camera awake automatically for upload
  • No local upload history in software yet
  • SD cards notoriously easy to lose
  • It can be a drain on your cameras battery.
  • Cannot use at public hotspots
  • Only supports JPEG files (and not videos). No inuse status feedback. Can’t use adhoc mode. Doesn’t send images to FTP
  • Email
  • Or .Mac. Can’t be configured with a manual IP address.
  • Limited signal strength
  • Options
  • And appeal
  • Users must be within 90 feet of a hotspot to geotag photos
  • Some partner sharing sites have flawed geotagging capabilities
  • Public uploading unreliable
  • 2GB limit
  • Slow transfer speed
  • Short wireless range
  • Somewhat expensive. Geotagging results arent always spot-on. Hot-spot access is free for only one year.
  • Doesn’t work over public Wi-Fi
  • Much slower than a USB transfer
  • Not all photo-sharing sites allow you to adjust privacy settings through Eye-Fi Manager
  • Pricey compared to other 2GB SD cards.
  • Autolaunching software and uploads to computer are annoying
  • If killable. Not compatible with several common browsers. No automatic connection to open WiFi networks means you still have to lug your laptop around like some sort of gruesome Neanderthal
  • Slow wireless uploads
  • Can't upload RAW or video files
  • Can't connect to secured wireless access points.
  • Reliance on WiFi makes geotagging unreliable.
  • Some geotag locations were off
  • Inconsistent hotspot uploads

  • Abstract:  It wasn’t too long ago that I was taking a look at the first Eye-Fi card: a 2GB Wi-Fi-enabled SD card that uploads pictures to configured computers and photo-sharing websites. I concluded that the Eye-Fi was a 9 out of 10. Since then, Eye-Fi has differ...

  • Very easy setup, no usage limitations
  • Slow transfer speed, short wireless range The Final Word That you must place your camera and the Eye-Fi card close to your router, and keep your camera on to allow time for transfers over a slow connection, somewhat limits the Eye-Fi Cards appeal to me.

  • Abstract:  Skiftet fra analog film til digitale billeder har for de fleste af os ført til, at vi nu tager mange flere billeder. Men selvom de digitale billeder ikke længere skal fremkaldes, så skal de stadig over på computeren, enten med et kabel eller ved at sæt...
