Finally the card is here after much long awaiting. Decided to do a mini review on the card. One thing to take note before I start the review
For those ppl who thinking of using this card as an Event WIFI support card, FORGET it. It will and confirm will not meet your HIGH Standard.
This is a Fun and photo hobbyist's salvation to WIFI file transfer. Not to mention cheaper compare to those original camera WIFI Unit.
So without holding back here are the review.
=======================================================
This card was purchase thru B&H photo @ USD $119.95 (org USD$149). Item unable to ship to SG due restriction impost by Eye-fi vender, thus item was relay to frz at US then re-post to SG.
======================================================
Following test were carried out within line of sight.
Using Home Wireless connection
Setup: LX3 + EYE-FI card + Macbook 10.6
1) setting up was a breeze.
2) login to eye-fi manager thru : https://manager.eye.fi/login.php (require internet)
3) insert into LX3
4) photo transfer to system every single shoots
Note: Transfer rate avg. 3sec per pic (depend on wifi connection)
Setup: 1Dmk3 + EYE-FI card + SD->CF card reader + Macbook 10.6
able to transfer the pic but with some delay. It was due to the
following issue.
i) SD->CF card reader's metal casing
II) Build of 1D
========================================================
Using Ad-hoc connection (more complex then single wifi setup)
Setup: LX3 + EYE-FI card + WinXp pro
No issue. Able to receive image from LX3
Setup: Nikon D70 + EYE-FI card + SD->CF card reader + WinXp pro
1) insert card to D70
2) able to shoot and transmit to Winxp
