Customer Review: mind boggling product
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got it today.Very easy installation,works like a charm as advertised.Pictures uploaded to computer and web immediately as soon as I took them in 2-3 secs.Two Warnings if you use a mac adress security filter on your network, you must get mac adress of card before it will connect to your network. I advise temporarily first disabling filter, then install card and point and scroll over card picture on screen .Card mac # appears.Be careful when choosing web or computer as destination for pictures because they upload so fast to both.Amazing product with canon SD950 IS camera- picture perfect, and good phone card support too. I bought two cards one for me and forCanon PowerShot SD950IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3.7x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Titanium) my son also.Customer Review: Young Product Hits Many Nails On Their Heads
Summary: 5 Stars
I finally had a chance to use this, and I have to say, in the short period of time, I really like it. The short version of my review is that I think it satisfies a niche very very well, with grace & ease, but can use a little polish.
The basic precept is that if you use this card, the pictures you take will be sent to your computer via your wireless network, and also to a large number of online photo upload services. For those of us with old-school cameras without wifi, this bridges that gap, and brings new functionality to our cameras. It makes life easier, IMO.
It needs to be beta tested on a wide array of cameras, and those vetted out. This particular combo of a CF->SD adapter and my Nikon Coolpix 4500 work very well.
Personally, I am very happy with this. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and makes my life easier.
Customer Review: Uploading pictures has never been easier
Summary: 5 Stars
I read about this little wonder and had to try it out, no matter what the result. I was not disappointed. While they spent quite a bit on some modern packaging, the setup was simple. Push the card, that comes in a USB device, into your computer and tell it what wireless access points to use.
From there you can decide if it should also store them on your computer while uploading to picture sites like Flickr and Picasa.
While it can eat battery life a bit faster, it worked seamlessly for me at a recent conference. I put the SSID of the wireless from the conference in the card and as I walked around taking pictures, they uploaded to my account. People were baffled how I was getting them online so fast without even touching my laptop.
I grinned and walked away knowing this device, well, it just worked.
Customer Review: Excellent: Does exactly what it promises!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is exactly what I've been hoping for! I run a home-based business selling cashmere online. My photo studio is in the basement and my office is on the 2nd floor of our house.. With the Eye-Fi, I shoot my photos... walk upstairs to my office..and voila! -my photos are wrapping up their transfers.
I'm shooting w/ a Fuji Finepix S8000fd and typically am using 3GB resolution (due to their eventual destination online), and we've rigged our home network router with homemade parabolic antennas... so the average user may not experience the same fast upload from two floors away.. Still, initial installation took less than 5 minutes, and w/ instant downloads, I'm not wasting my time fiddling w/ cables anymore -what's not to like? Life is Good! Thanks Eye-Fi! :-)

Customer Review: Perfect Merger of Wireless and Digital Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Near perfect merger of worlds of wireless and digital camera. I have been for a product like this for the past several years, and it is truly amazing what they have managed to squeeze into this SD Card. Product works flawlessly, and was incredibly easy to set up. Software is largely web-based (and even the initial set up files are all contained within the USB reader--no extra CDs).
Pictures upload within minutes to both my computer and Snapfish (you can also choose Flickr and a number of other services). I imagine as the software develops, the options will only continue to improve.
In short--works great, easy to set up, running in minutes. It was even easy to set up with my hidden WPA protected wireless network.
