 600 images December 26, 2009
James D. Schroeder (Idaho)
I used the 2GB Eye-Fi to take over 600 images in 3.5 hours of Santa and kids during our company's children's Christmas Party. I decided to use the Eye-Fi so parents could pick out the best images in near real time. The setup
Canon 40D
SD to CF adapter
D-Link DWL -G730 Portable access point
Adobe Lightroom 2 software monitoring the eye-fi folder
Pros
The card transferred 600 5MB JPEG images about as fast as I took them.
The images were also saved on the card as a backup.
No internet connection was needed once configuration was done.
Cons
I had to connect the Access point to the internet for initial setup
The battery drain was significant about 250 images per charge
I will not use the Eye-Fi for general photos but anytime I want people to see images as soon as they are taken, this is a good solution.

I received the Eye-Fi card as a gift (my family knows that I love tech toys) and it worked flawlessly since the first day I put it in my Nikon D50, and it keeps getting better. Photos are stored on the card until I return home and they are uploaded to my Smugmug account (another awesome service) and then to my desktop computer. I never have to take the card out of the camera. When the transfer is complete, I receive a text message on my phone.
I have the original card, and it has performed exactly as advertised - but it gets better! As features were added, like geotagging, eye-fi allowed me to update the card.
Ocassionally, I do event photography, where we print the photos on portable photo printers as they are taken and the eye-fi card (with a small portable router) has been a great benefit in these situations as well. I no longer have to run to the printer with my full card and print photos, they are transfered to the laptop wirelessly where my assistant tweaks them and sends them to the printer.
About 15,000 photos later, all I can say is that this is a great implementation of a brilliant idea and I am looking forward to buying additional cards in the future.
Great new device makes my usb cable for my camera obsolete August 7, 2009
A. Jalkut (Santa Cruz, CA United States)
This is one of the greatest recent tech ideas, an automatic wireless upload of your photos. Works great, I love being able to take a photo of an item I want to sell online, and by the time I sit down at my computer the photo has already loaded and ready to go.
How do they do that? August 7, 2009

This is such a groundbreaking idea. Imagine not having to go through the tedium of uploading your digital pictures via the cord and manufacturer's software that came with your camera. This removes that hassle and makes the whole process so easy. Take a photo and have your SD card wirelessly transmit the images to your Facebook page and your picture folder on your computer. The Eye-Fi card does this. I love it. No complaints so far.
Loved It When I Got It... (updated 8/18) August 6, 2009
Rebecca Perk (East Troy, WI USA)
I purchased this card soon after it was first released. I loved the idea of what it could do and how it could simplify my photographic world. It still works great, and I still use it, but I find myself hoping for more.
Like another reviewer below, I don't feel I can trust that 100% of my photos have transferred. I find myself constantly reviewing the inventory on my computer with the inventory on my camera one by one before believing they're all there. Do I just have trust issues? No, I review one by one because I too have had photos not transfer and lost them. I compulsively format the card after every review session (which corresponds to every major photo-taking event if I'm near enough to my computer) so that I don't have to re-confirm that every photo has been transferred multiple times.
Another application-specific gripe that I have is the way these photos are organized in iPhoto. For whatever reason, photos uploaded via Eye-Fi are given one event per photo. If I upload 50 pictures right now, I'll have 50 separate events all titled "August 6, 2009." I've found myself actually removing the Eye-Fi card from my camera (*gasp!*) and connecting it to my laptop to pull images across. Also, this card won't transfer videos taken on my digital camera, so before I reformat the card I want to be sure I didn't forget about those clips of the bride & groom's first dance or my nephew opening his first present on Christmas morning.
I'd recommend ponying up the extra cash and purchasing the newer release of cards from Eye-Fi. They've addressed a number of issues I've seen in these reviews, and they allow you to purchase different features to meet your needs. While I still love my current Eye-Fi card, I've got my sights on a newer model.
Update: I was informed that the iPhoto issue that used to create 1 event per photo uploaded was fixed in a Manager update in May. Apparently I'm behind.
