Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Eye-Fi Share 2 GB Wi-Fi SD Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-2GB (OLD VERSION)
Customer Review: Use this card, LOSE YOUR PICTURES!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have on two occasions taken pictures with the Eye-Fi wireless card, only to have several pictures end up COMPLETELY MISSING from the card. The pictures have NOT been uploaded wirelessly, nor are they on the card; They are simply GONE. Thankfully I did not lose anything as important as the user Neo Unity lost with his Eye-Fi memory stick.
I will likely be THROWING AWAY my Eye-Fi SD card; It's not worth losing any additional photos. I am amazed that Eye-Fi has produced a flash-based memory card that actually LOSES data. Truly unacceptable.
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I was hoping to see the locations of the photos I've taken. Unfortunately I only get locations on about 20 percent of the photos I take. You have to be near a WiFi point. Another sore point is it drains the batteries in my camera uploading the pics. Takes over an hour to load 30 photos. If you use the adapter they provide you lose the metadata like location. Since I get so few locations of pictures, it's better that draining my batteries.
I can't recommend this card.
Customer Review: Underwhelming
Summary: 2 Stars
I was really excited about this product when I purchased it, but over time I have found I really use it less and less. I don't need the ability upload any photos wirelessly from my camera, the card has an extremely low transfer rate which slows down my D80s photo taking big time, and on several occasions I have lost a few photos for no obvious reason.
The card has been replaced with an 8 gig sd card, and it now sits in my small digital frame letting me see friends and family all day. Would I buy it again? No way. Might it be good for someone who has a small point and shoot? Not if you need reliability.
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: Cool Gadget
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very cool little gadget. It wirelessly transmits photos directly from the camera to your computer and then on to the web if you want. It gets four stars from me because it is a little more difficult to set up than the directions indicate. It also operates on Eye-Fi servers (something that isn't clear on the packaging). The servers went down on Christmas and it took awhile to get up and running. It has a known conflict with AVG anti-virus software. You should check to make sure your camera is compatible before purchasing. Eye-Fi has a great, human tech support team.
