I’m a verified woot purchaser of the 8GB PRO X2 and use it in my Nikon P300. I can honestly say it works great and could never go back to having to pull out the memory, stick into reader, put back and repeat.
I just bought my second one of these cards for my other camera.
I’ve had my current eye-fi card for a few years now, and they are an excellent idea.
Some cameras even have special support built-in for eye-fi cards in order to notice they should not shutdown while the card is transferring the photos to your computer. After the transfer, the normal 5-minute timeout that will auto-shutdown your camera happens.
These things are SOOOOO much more convenient than having to constantly remove the SD card, or hookup a USB cable in order to get pictures out.
You just turn your camera on when you get home, and within seconds the images are stored on your PC where you pre-selected them to land.
I bought Woot’s Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB+wifi card several months ago and I also love it. The media card was always difficult to remove from my camera and having the pictures upload automatically just rocks. Mine can also upload to my cell phone (but I’m not sure if this one can).
At first, I had it upload automatically to Flickr, but it was quickly apparent that I take way too many junk shots to do that, so now I enable the “upload select images to Flickr automatically” feature (I have to press the “save” (looks like a key) button on my phone when I see a pic I want to upload to Flickr and life is good.
My only complaint is that my Eye-Fi card is supposed to do geotagging and my camera (Nikon D5100) is also supposed to support geotagging, but I’ve never gotten that to work. The setting on my camera is grayed out when the card is in the camera and says “this feature not available at this setting” (and says it with every setting I try). That’s a total bummer, and I don’t know whether the problem is the card, the camera, or just my own ignorance.
Hope they fixed the problem with the original version corrupting some jpg files (Eye-Fi pro v1 and Explore v1 on Pentax k100d and K-x). My other cards never gave me a problem. both my Eye-Fi’s randomly created an invalid header problem on my jpgs.
Does it somehow geotag based on where you take the picture? I read their website and it seems to geotag “as” the pictures are uploaded, which is not helpful if I take a picture where there is no open wi-fi.
Bought one of these during a wootoff and now use it all the time to transfer pictures from my D7000 to my andriod phone… Great when your on vacation and are able to email friends and family high quality SLR imgages without a pc.
Also great for studio use to transfer images to a Table or Pc… In my D4, these work flawlessly via a Compact Flash adapter.
