Add Wi-Fi to any Camera with Eye-Fi SD
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "HARDWARE" @ 01:00 PM
"Before we even start to tell you what this thing is, we have to tell you: it’s amazing, we LOVE it, and it makes us feel like we’re living in the future... the Eye-Fi Wireless memory card adds Wi-Fi to any camera that uses SD memory. It’s orange. It looks like a normal SD camera memory card. It holds 2 GB of photos. And it wirelessly uploads your photos to your computer and to Flickr or one of 16 other photo sharing sites. We always dreamed that someday, we’d merely turn on our cameras and all our photos would be invisibly downloaded to our computer and uploaded for our friends to see. It’s someday."
Sweet! For just $99, you can add Wi-Fi to your camera. It is unfortunate that they only sell this in SD form and not CF, otherwise I'd be buying one right now for my 10D. But it looks like they are working on an adapter for those of us that want CF. I also think that this is a great time to get such a device out since camera manufacturers are considering more and more about adding Wi-Fi capabilities but this feature is not universally available yet so it could have filled the need now very well.
