It seems like a 'good' bit of kit, but it could be SO much better. If it was ad-hoc and allowed raw file transfer, I could use it with my Jobo Giga Vu Pro Evolution and forget about having to swap cards and manually download. If it had these facilities it WOULD be a contender to the CaNikon wi-fi capability. As it is, it's of limited use to a jobbing pro-tog (just my two-cents).

*For anyone that needs a really portable setup*

We transfer photos from Eye-Fi cards to tablet pc's (XP not Vista) using ZyXEL AG-120 PCMCIA cards configured as software access points. The only real trick is to use Internet Connection Sharing to share your LAN or other wireless Internet connection with the AG-120 so that you can configure the Eye-Fi card correctly. Any wireless adapter that can do software access points should IMO.

I do a lot of event/night club photography I use express digital darkroom pro and shoot tethered this seems to be the perfect solution I've tested the eyefi with the linksys n/ultra rangeplus router modle WRT160N and it works great 5-6 second uploads and setting the eyefi folder as the hot folder in darkroom the pictures are ready to print and edit in seconds. The router was upstairs and my laptop and camera was downstairs I was still able to upload ..it took a few extra seconds. I turned off the router disconnected the internet powered back up and everything worked fine I highly recommend it one great plus it works in most cameras I have a D80 and D300 its very flexable you don't need a expensive camera to upload images

I (sort of) apologize...(didnt read all posts first)

I thought of using the device for ONLY the exact post that #2 (John Walsh) said....and was disappointed that this is not its main invention.

I was eager to ask it so I posted...before reading.

Now that I have read back and see that John thought the same thing as me. I am simply trying to "tell eye-fi" that many people have thought this.

I pictured that it had simple code to become a Network Drive specifier... SMB compatable of course.

Good Luck..
Sincerely,
Randy

Frankly they missed a huge oportunity..

The ability to Place the card in your E-Photo Frame and drag and drop FROM you home network (ie. PC) TO your (WOULD BE) wireless E-photo frame.

It'll happen...

I have successfully added this to my wireless router and can't wait for the next gig where I don't have internet access! Using my 30D, the upload time was really quick when I selected small jpg. The time it took to transfer large jpgs was not shabby, too.

At first, I couldn't get it to transfer when I unplugged my router from the internet. But after I added both MAC address of eye.fi and my laptop to the safe list in my router settings, it worked.
Highly recommend!

Mitch:

There are wifi repeaters that you could use that just boost all wifi signals within its range. That could potentially boost the eye-fi's signal as well as your wifi router's signal.

IS there a way to use that D-Link DWL-G730AP pocket router to connect to a wifi connection around & act as a repeater to work in sync with the eye.fi?

It would be more powerful than the SDCards wifi by far?

I've got the Eye-Fi running on my main computer via a WiFi-Router. Now I want to use the Eye-Fi with my notebook. I have a ASUS ML-330g access point but this device has no DHCP server so the Eye-Fi software cannot get a valid IP adress. Any hints?

When the images are sent to the eye.fi website are they sent via https?

I like the product but not the way it works, I would much prefer the use of an ad hoc connection mode or have access to the code so it transfers images to my own server without need of a third party.

@charlie: JPEG-only! An SD to CF adapter should work. We sell one that we've found to work well.

@Bash: Yeah, they go first to Eye-Fi, then online services. You can also have them sent to Gallery.

So the card not only has a wi-fi chip inside but also some sort of ftp programme to send the images to eye.fi website?

Am I correct in assuming that images are first transferred to EYE-FI before being sent onto flickr /vox / picasa etc..

It would be great if I could change the settings and have the images sent direct to my own website.

when you are shooting directly to a laptop are you still restricted to JPEG files? I shoot RAW. Also can I use a SD to Compact flash converter in my camera?

Bingo...Fast Stone Image Viewer is the application that solves the image refresh challenge. The extra bonus... well 156 different screen transition effects . I'm happy :)

For the most part my progressive dependency on instant results from google seemed to put a kink in the pipe from finding this solution just under my nose.
Many Eye-Fi questions are answered in the Eye FI FAQ http://support.eye.fi/faq/

thanks everyone

The finesse of the pan, zoom and other features would work if it did real time updating during a slide show. It would be ideal for an application to rescan a directory for new pictures instead of caching images. The kaptech app cites that is possible however each screen saver app thus far will only update after restarting the program. Fernando, your idea with online picture frame is genius, Great work.

Russell & Troy:
This one seems to work and has modest system requirements and command line options. http://www.kaptech.co.uk/Pi...
The slideshow from phanfare.com is very nice and much better featured, but I'm already invested in flickr. I'd still like to try a few others though.

Bob: Slicker would not work on my laptop, phanfare dose work, but is a fee based soultion,

Fernando: I would love to see a simple light app that could do such a thing.

Amitt: I can't wait to open my mailbox today as another package from Photojojo will be there waiting for me.. more eye-fi and some other goodies.. you guys rock!

Hey Fernando, you're probably best off asking Eye.fi support about your particular set up: http://eye.fi/help/

Ad-hock networks are not supported, but I think you may be using your 'sharing computer' in infrastructure mode, not ad-hoc.

I share my internet connection with the other 2 computers (not connected) with n ad-hoc network. No router. Will that work?
