Customer Reviews:

Good idea - if it works for you. [Posted on 2008-07-22]
We purchased 2 of these cards. Spent several days trying to get them to work w/ our Nikon D80 and D40x. Would not work with either camera. Eye-Fi tech support was unable to get them working either - despite several days of trying. Tech support finally blamed it on our AT&T high speed internet service. Product seems like a great idea - IF you can get it to work with your equipment. Might be best to call Eye-Fi tech support before you purchase and see if cards are compatible with your equipment (including cameras, laptops, and internet service). Finally gave up and returned product for refund.

Great Product! [Posted on 2008-07-23]
This is awesome - requires minimal setup, automatically locates wireless networks, allows manual SSID entry, supports Open, WEP, WPA and WPA2 security. It has a good range, uploads fast (4 seconds for 2MB photos). Works great for batched photos. It automatically creates subfolders labeled by date of upload within the configured folder on the destination PC. One drawback is that it requires registration on their domain in order to perform the setup. It looks like the SD card becomes registered to a single user account on the Eye-Fi website. This can be changed by the user that performs the initial setup.

Makes life easier ... mostly [Posted on 2008-07-25]
Pros:
works and does what it says it will do and does it pretty fast.

Cons:
can't upload videos wirelessly, can only upload to one computer at a time (ie: if you have two computers that should be receiving the pictures, you're out of luck)

NOTE: if you have AVG Free Antivirus as i did, you wont be able to upload your pictures wirelessly until you disable or remove your anti-virus.

Even though i have way more cons than pros, i do greatly enjoy this product ... before i had this, it would take me weeks to upload pictures to my computer as i would just be too lazy to find the cables and whatnot. The camera's battery life does get a little shorter when Eye-Fi is in it but it's not THAT big a difference, if you ask me.

Great Concept, Less then perfect execution [Posted on 2008-07-25]
I like the concept of this device, but it does not work well enough for my needs. However it might for other customers, just not me. I have returned it.

My problems:
In my use it was slow to connect to the wireless network when it turned on. Sometimes it would take 5+ minutes of the camera being on before transfers would start.

It seemed to take far too long to upload only a handful of pictures. About a minute a picture.

It really drained my Canon SD600's battery

It doesn't upload videos. I want to "cut the cord" to my camera. Whats the point of having a wireless camera, if you still regularly have to get out the cable to get your videos off of the camera. If I have to connect the camera to get the videos, it was quicker to just download all the pictures at the same time.

Speed and videos aside it was convenient. If you don't take many videos on you camera and don't mind turning your camera and walking away for a while while it downloads. It could work great for you.

Eye Fi SD Card [Posted on 2008-07-27]
It took me two tries to load the software on my Vista Computer. It connects with my computer and transfers photos easily from my Nikon D40. I have just tested it with a couple of photo's.
