Amazon.com Product Description

The revolutionary new Eye-Fi Card looks and works just like a standard 2GB SD card except it has a tiny secret: Wi-Fi is built in. Now, docking your digital camera, connecting cables, and fumbling with card readers are a thing of the past. The Eye-Fi card will wirelessly upload your photos from your camera onto your computer and the web.

It's as Easy as One-Two-Three (Cheese!)
Setting up the Eye-Fi Card couldn't be simpler. Install the included Eye-Fi Manager software on your home computer and connect the Eye-Fi card to your home Wi-Fi network. A USB memory card reader is included to simplify set-up. After that, just stick the Eye-Fi Card into your camera and go out and take pictures as you normally would; it's when you return home that the magic begins. Once it connects to your home network, photos are automatically uploaded to your computer and, if you choose, your favorite photo or social networking website.

You Shoot Photos, Eye-Fi Does the Work
Uploading your photos to your computer and getting them where you want to share and print them is often a complicated and tedious task but Eye-Fi will do all the work for you, giving you more time to take more pictures and create more memories.

Upload to Computer
Uploading photos to your computer requires that your computer be turned on and running the Eye-Fi Manager software. When it detects the Eye-Fi Card on the network, photos will be uploaded into the folder on your computer that you choose. You don't have to bother with cables or camera software; everything is automatic.

Upload to Web
Eye-Fi also supports photo sharing and printing websites including Kodak Gallery, Snapfish, Shutterfly, Wal-Mart, Photobucket, Facebook, Webshots, Picasa Web Albums, SmugMug, Flickr, Fotki, TypePad, VOX, dotPhoto, Phanfare, Sharpcast and Gallery. It will automatically take care of log-ins and passwords, and it will even resize your photos if necessary for your chosen site.

Upload to Computer and Web
If you choose to have your photos delivered to both your computer and online, the Eye-Fi Card first uploads your pictures to the Eye-Fi Service, which then sends a copy to the website and one to your computer. In this mode, the Eye-Fi Service will hold onto your photos and deliver them to your computer the next time you turn it on. The photo that is sent to the website might be resized, but the one sent to your computer will retain its full resolution.

The included Eye-Fi Manager makes it easy to change preferences, letting you add wireless networks, change destinations, and adjust other settings.

Specifications and Requirements
The Eye-Fi Card works with 802.11g, 802.11b and backwards-compatible 802.11n wireless networks. It supports 40/104/128-bit WEP encryption, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK for secure Wi-Fi transmission. It has a range of 90+ feet outdoors and 45+ feet indoors.

The Eye-Fi Card works with virtually all digital cameras that accept SD memory cards, but you should check the Eye-Fi website for the most recent compatibility list (www.eye.fi.com). The Eye-Fi software works with Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Mac OS X (10.3 and 10.4)

Please note: The Eye-Fi automatic wireless uploading process currently only supports jpeg files; if you are shooting other file types such as RAW, the Eye-Fi Card will function as a normal SD card and store photos but will not be able to wirelessly upload them.

Eye-Fi is compatible with these sites, allowing automatic uploading of photos.

Couldn't get it to work with my Airport Base Station.......2007-12-27

Just like with many of these type of gadgets, they make the set up sound easier than it is. While some Mac users may have gotten this product to work, I had to make three phone calls and they still couldn't help me enough in getting the Eye-fi to work on my computer.

Basically they said it was an issue with my Airport Base Station (version 5.2.2.) The station is internal to my Mac Pro which is not even a year old. But I guess in order for the product to work you need a grand spanking new Mac computer with the really, really latest Airport Base station. Of course they don't tell you all this stuff in their literature. They just get your money and make it hella hard for you to return the item. The people I dealt with didn't even have an address for me to return the product.

So my suggestion is keep your receipt and order directly from the company rather than Amazon, so there's one less step in the process.

Check for compatibility first!!!.......2007-12-27

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.

EyeFi Magic.......2007-12-25

I gave this as a gift. The recipient told me it was a fabulous, time-saving piece of magic.

play with your network for hours on end.......2007-12-23

If you enjoy messing around for hours with computers this is for you. Instead of just plugging your camera into your computer for a minute to download photos, you have to spend more time fooling with this thing. Since most cameras have auto off features (mine max's out at 10 min) and this seems to take minutes per photo, you have to turn your camera on and off 10 times to get the photos. In addition this thing has the range you might imagine it has given its antenna size- good transfers at 10-20 feet-forget about upstairs/downstairs. I have 4 wireless computers on my network that work fine in different places as well so not a network problem.

Didn't work at first, but excellent customer service saved the day!.......2007-12-23

This card is supposed to work "out of the box" but ours didn't. When you plug the USB adapter (with the card in it) we got recognition of a generic removable hard drive, but neither the instant set up wizard nor even the "Eye-Fi" icon/label of the drive.

I downloaded the Eye-Fi manager separately from their own website successfully and manually installed the manager. But, when I tried to run it, I was given the "insert a recognized card" message when the card was inserted.

I figured I had a dud and was about to return it, but I decided to contact Eye-Fi support first, on the off chance they had any suggestions. I got FANTASTIC (and almost immediate) email support with detailed instructions to reformat the card. (I would have thought that this would have ruined my chances entirely, but in fact it worked). I'll copy the instructions I was given below in case anyone else has the same problem as this is not on their FAQ or troubleshooting page.

Since then it has worked exactly as advertised. Sitting in the living room on our laptops snapping pictures, and then seeing them show up not two minutes later on Picasa was really cool, I have to say. Later, my mom took the camera to my niece's Christmas concert and as soon as she got home (and turned on the camera -- very important) the pictures uploaded to both the computer and Picasa without incident.

The only confusing part of the process was in the set up of a Picasa account, actually, and that's not the fault of the card at all. It's handy to know that you don't even need to set up the web album before configuring your card. When you are in the Eye-Fi manager and choose your online photo system (at least for Picasa), you'll be given an option at that time to create a new web album account.

I'm very pleased with this purchase, with the delivery from Amazon, and most of all with the customer service from Eye-Fi.

Here are the steps I was given for a "non responsive" card, though you may wish to verify with them before going through the process yourself. I know I felt more comfortable having an email from them that gave me permission to reformat! :)
