Customer Reviews:

Fantastic device, makes it so much easier to share photos [Posted on 2008-07-01]
This is a great product, I would highly recommend it. After using it for the last 6 months, it's consistently delivered on what it says it would do, but more importantly I'm noticing it really has made a difference in how we share photos with our friends and family making even the distant relatives feel more a part of our growing family.

It's not that using the cables to quickly pull a batch of pictures off of our camera was that hard before, but it was just annoying enough that we would wait for a week or two between download sessions. With the EyeFi, it's so super easy to get the pictures from the camera to our computer that we do it the same day they're taken every time. What I didn't realize ahead of time was how big a deal that seemingly small change would be. We happen to have a 1-year old daughter who changes every day, and getting pictures up onto the photo sharing site (Flickr for us) on the same day makes all the extended family feel like they're part of her growing up. Somehow seeing a new picture every day or two just feels more like you're there than seeing a batch of new pictures every week or two, and the EyeFi card makes it so simple that it's easy to do...

Packaging is very slick, somewhat Apple-esque, and gets you up and running quickly. Installation is a quick plug-and-play with your PC, pop it into the camera, and you're off and running. The EyeFi has worked flawlessly for us without having to touch it since installing. They do release updates every month or two to improve performance or add features, but it's up to you whether you want to download them (super simple if you do). Hasn't impacted batter life in any noticeable way, we're still getting hundreds of pictures between charges on our camera.

All in all delivers on its promises perfectly, and changes the way we share our photos (a bigger impact than I guessed before we started using it). A definite must-buy for any frequent photographer.

Excellent idea, too few formats! [Posted on 2008-07-03]
I love the convenience of this card. The download software is very easy to use. After initial setup, it works on it own! I like that it creates new folders by date as it downloads the photos. Makes organization quite easy. Download speed is quite fast. The only thing I would like is more formats for the cards (other sizes). This may not be technically possible, but I would buy another one for my small point-and-shoot camera as well, if Eye-Fi made a Memory Stick version... Great product!

Eye Fi with Canon SD550 and 30D w/Compact Flash Adp. [Posted on 2008-07-04]
This has turned out to be a great product both for personal use and business/professional use.
The product works flawlessly with my SD550 point and shoot. My initial experience with it in my 30D was somewhat of a headache do to trial and error. Here are the steps I took to get it working. It did not work at all by default.. initially I got a CF error and I thought it had completely killed the card.

1. First I checked my firmware on my canon 30D.. I was one behind.. My camera was running 1.0.5 and I downloaded 1.0.6 from canon.
2. After the camera was updated I put the eye fi in the card adapter and put it in my 30D camera.. I still got the CF error. So I tried formatting in the camera and that corrected the CF error. I could take pictures with it.
3. I put the EyeFi card in the USB reader and plugged it into my computer and the Eye Fi manager was finally able to initialize the card again and restore the wireless settings..
4. The card now works both in my SD550 and my 30D.

Its possible that I could have just formatted the card to begin with in my 30D without doing the firmware update and that would have corrected it.. I dont know for sure.

You do see a reduced wireless radius while in the 30D probably due to the compact flash adapter. I added High Gain antenna to my router to help compensate.

Be very careful on which CF adapter you buy for this card. If you use the wrong one it can kill the card.
I recommend this store for the CF adapter. They have been thoroughly tested by the store and Eye-Fi.

Eye-Fi Card Problems [Posted on 2008-07-09]
Ever since I got it I have not been able to get it to work. Been with tech support via emails while they look at the logs. Since 6/25/08 and still ongoing. So at this point, I'm not much for this card.
