 Eye-Fi Pro 4 Gb Wireless card June 21, 2010

The Eye-Fi Pro 4 Gb SDHC wireless flash memory card works well most of the time. It is slow in transferring the image to my laptop, that could be the network that I was using at the time. Works well enough, if shooting candid photos, transfers so you can see it on your laptop and not have to view it in the camera screen. Not recommended for shooting action sports.
 Not as good as a USB cable, but much more expensive April 20, 2010

I am very dissatisfied with the Eye-Fi Pro 4 GB SDHC Wireless Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-4PC.
The transfer speed from my Canon SX20is 12 MP camera to my Apple MacBook Pro was unacceptably slow - for the record, I had selected local transfer, not transfer to a website. My AirPort wireless router is only 5 feet away from the camera (and card), so there should not be any delay caused by excessive separation between device and router. According to Eye-Fi tech support (my third support call), there is no faster transfer rate possible with this card. Also, in a 30 image transfer session, my Eye-Fi account mysteriously closed, and I had to relog in.
Finally, the images remain on the camera unless the user MANUALLY deletes them; certainly nowhere as seamless as USB cable/iPhoto.
Oh yes, the user must manually open iPhoto, even though iPhoto was selected as the destination in the Eye-Fio application.
Bottom line: save your money!
Great at first, but then... April 16, 2010

When I got the card I followed the easy directions and connected it to my home network and had no trouble at all. The card worked exactly as expected and uploaded the pictures from my camera to my pc. Worked fine for about 3 weeks. Then started intermittently not working and now won't upload anything at all. Customer Service has not gotten back to me at all via email and they don't list a phone number on their support site even though they give you the hours of operation.
Not happy about this at all since I'm now out of the return policy window for Amazon.

I purchased this EyeFi Pro (4GB) card last week from Amazon for 99 dollars.
Lets start with the packaging. The eyefi packaging approaches Apple levels of cool. They have done a really nice job of keeping things simple and elegant. I guess some bonus points to them for this, but really it's the function of the card that matters.
The eyefi pro is amazingly simple to setup. I did the setup on a Mac, they've done their work to make this seamless and not some 'second rate' support level for people using Macs. You can plug the card into your Mac or PC using the included USB adapter, or just plug it into another available adapter or built in slot. All the setup is done via a web page, and there is a little detector application that figures out when you've plugged in the card and launches the setup application.
After you've setup wifi networks, allowed the card to use hotspots (or not... but it's included in the pro), setup sharing to various web photo and video services, setup where you want pictures, video, and raw images to go on your Mac or PC, setup (or not Geo tagging) you can eject the card and use in your camera like a normal memory card.
You can setup the card to upload everything to sharing sites, or only what you 'lock or protect' on your camera. This makes it nice to edit what you post or do not post while taking pictures. The notification emails that uploads have started and completed are great. The thumbnail photos that are included are very nice touch.
So much more to talk about, but in the end it comes down to one simple thing. Using Eyefi takes all the annoyance out of moving pictures around, storing them, posting them. It didn't seem like it would be as great as it is. I'm quite impressed, and likely will get a few friends hooked on the idea of using a eyefi.
I've been using the card in our Canon D10 (waterproof) point and shoot camera. It works great in here. We've also used it in our Digital SLR, the Canon Rebel XT. This camera takes compact flash cards, so we ordered (also from amazon) a recommended SD/SDHC to compact flash adapter (the green one). It worked great, minus one initial glitch. The XT didn't like the card when we first put it in. We had to backup the program folders/files on the card and let the XT format the card. We then put the files/folders back on and the card works great in both cameras now.
Works as advertised March 2, 2010

The only problem is now we want all our photo cards to have this ability!
