  Just wondering: Do people actually use these? Given you can get a 64gb card for less than that, I'm pretty sure most people would run out of battery before they filled their card…and running wifi on your camera (and laptop) would make that even more true…

  Unless you need to take an extreme amount of photos and have an endless supply of power (ie. In a studio) then I don't see the point in these…(even then, I'm sure you'd be better off with two high capacity cards, and just switch out cards while you download one to your laptop/storage directly, not wasting power on wifi).

  But I guess whatever floats your boat!

  Edit: I guess if you're running some sort of mobile print service, and need immediate printing, then maybe…

    The medical profession use these in large quantities, especially, dentists.

    Its something quite neat to use at parties to stream live to displays.

    They can also upload directly to Facebook and other online publications within moments of taking a shot.

    You will be surprised how popular they are.

      Ah fair enough, I take your point. I guess for bloggers and the like, who want to instantly broadcast photos, it makes sense. And for applications where you want immediate access to the photos (such as dentists or mobile photographers).

  I just got these a week ago … they are class-6 cards and I was using a scandisk class-10 earlier , My D3100 became extremely slow for some reason I could not really understand. not just displaying pictures after taking a photo but also a few general operational aspects like startup etc, ive pulled this card out and switch back to my class-10 and its ok now.

  im not sure if I have done something wrong but I dint really like this at all

    It could be the fact that it uploads photos immediately after you take them, thus denying the camera the full speed of the card, which is already slower than your class 10.

  The connect is available for $46 including shipping from a US ebay "top seller".

  Buying from an Australian seller is probably worth more than $3, so this seems to be a solid, but not exceptional deal to me. E.g., there isn't much point jumping on this deal if you don't actually need it.

  Got an 8GB X2 pro that I don't use. $75 bucks shipped if anyone wants it.

  Bear in mind these are virtually useless if you shoot raw… as they are too big to be transferred anywhere near fast enough. Also depending on your camera's body material they have pretty short range. Pretty useless for a professional but could be useful for more of a hobbyist?

    If you are the type who is trigger happy, then you probably need a fast card.

  I have just ordered, delivered to OZ $150 USD a Lexar 128 GB SDXC Flash Memory Card with huge down and upload speeds guaranteed so I really do not see the need for these things specially at the cost. Maybe for dentists but $100 to save 3 minutes to upload party pictures to Facebook… hmmm I don't think so, well not for me

  The downside of these cards is they drain your camera battery.

  Shwayne on 26/08/2012 - 21:36

  The concept is novel, maybe even practical for some, but the convinience comes at too high a cost:

  • You are essentially paying $79 for 8GB, which is how much you would pay for a 64GB or a high class 32GB card.

  • It is class 6, so it may not be suitable for video in some cameras. (Class 6 is usually enough for 1080p in most DSLR's.)

  • It consumes energy from the camera, thus lowering its battery life.

  • It cannot be controlled when in the camera, except that it can be enabled/disabled in SOME cameras.

  Good for those who can't be bothered using the iPad camera connection kit - i know i am way too lazy to plug my camera connection kit and download when i'm sitting in a cafe.

  I have one in the rugged point & shoot my wife and kids use. Don't have to hunt for the thing to copy images off it, and never have to worry about it running out of space… so although it is 8GB it's effectively unlimited….. they take photos, the photos are automatically uploaded to the interweb, copied to my pc into a dropbox folder and replicated back to dropbox. I automagically end up with three copies of each photo - one on the EyeFi system, one on the pc, and one in dropbox…… when the camera did go missing I've also used the last photo uploaded to find out who last used the camera and where - and found it outside where one of the kids had been using it. So no, I might not use it in the DSLR but yes, it does have a use!

  Can these be used to transfer in the other direction too? I keep an SD card in my TV for MP4's because they don't work well over WiFi. Maybe I can keep one of these in my TV and just send video to it from my laptop.

    Nope - pretty sure one way only. Better off using something like a WDTV.
