Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Eye-Fi Share 2 GB Wi-Fi SD Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-2GB (OLD VERSION)
Customer Review: Not good for High Definition cameras
Summary: 1 Stars
When emailing Eye-FI about the RECORDING MB per second speed of this card because High Def requires faster than average speeds. ****Here was Eye-Fi's response......
We appreciate your interest in the Eye-Fi card. We do not share the
information about the cards specific read/write speeds. I can tell you
however, that the card is on par with the speed of basic consumer SD
cards on the market.
Have a wonderful day,
Wanda
********* What kind of company has to hide their specs? After all they do own the patten. I guess you want everyone to buy the card even though some will be disappointed. Or is the reason for not publishing the specs because they are the slowest speed? Thats about all we can assume Eye-Fudge.
Customer Review: Check for compatibility first!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
Honestly, this product is excellent in theory, but is lacking in practice. I bought this for my father for Christmas because I thought it'd be a neat little gadget thats easy to use and would save him the time of uploading his photos to the family site. What we found is that this is just not compatible with the camera he has. He's got a Panasonic Lumix FX07, but apparently it is only compatible with an FX01 at this point. I'm assuming down the road they'll expand the range, but right now we're returning it. Basically what happens is before a photo can be uploaded, the camera shuts off. There isn't a longer setting on the camera, so no photos uploaded. That, coupled with the fact it takes ~5min/photo to upload, makes it easier just to connect via USB.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.
Customer Review: Waste of time, space and money
Summary: 1 Stars
Insecure:
Uploads your facebook, mobileme and encrypted wireless passwords over http
Rather than store all this information on the card, it is uploaded to eye-fi, who I would not expect to be able to keep secure in view of their idiocy above.
Poor design. Rather than being able to upload direct to webdav or similar it needs a program running permanently on your computer.
Useless software. You are unable to store settings in advance. I know the essid of my local coffee shop but I have to own a laptop to take it there to store the settings, I cannot upload them in advance to the card, even though I know all the settings.
It is poorly designed, badly implemented and a complete waste of money.
Customer Review: Big Bang for your buck(s)!

The Eye-Fi installation was so easy...a caveman could do it! Couldn't resist. Worked like advertised and works nicely. This SD chip is to instant cameras (mine is the Canon SD1000) as remote controls are to televisions. I never got around to unloading my pictures to my pc, until I was in a rush to use the camera and get out the door, this device made moving my files a bit of a breeze. Meaning the camera has to be powered up for the transfer to take place. Files are foldered by date. I tend to manage my files, so I really like the auto file breakout. I did't use the auto-upload feature, I don't use online photo services. During the install, avoid setting this up by just navigating to the bottom of the offer screen.
