The card is amazing. Works just fine in both my Canon S80 and G9. Larger size photos will take longer to upload but auto-resume just fine if there is any interruption. The software and web site are very slick, and once set up it "just works." Got mine at Costco.com as well, $89 is not a bad price for this thing at all, liked it so much ordered two more as gifts for family (will make Mom's life so much easier). I'm won over.

I am not certain if this card will work well in a higher end camera. Does anyone know the write/read speed of the memory card? I am not certain if this card will work well in a higher end camera.

I recently purchased a NIKON S51c camera which has built in Wi-fi that worked well, but I must say that the Eye-fi is a little better. Downloads the pics to your PC along with a good choice of online photo services such as Flickr and Snapfish. I uploaded 7 mp photos without any issues. Sure, it may take a few minutes to do all the uploading, but it certainly saves the time of pulling out the card, viewing the photos and dragging them into a file. Great product and well worth the $99 ($89 plus free shipping at Costco.com where I got it) I have been using the Eye-fi card the last few days and it really is some cool technology.

Yes you can get SD chips for next to nothing but do they literally take away the effort of having to download your photos to your PC and uploading them to most major photo services. That feature alone is worth the $99 the 2GB space is a added bonus in my mind. Sorry to tell you but the $99 is justified.

A 2GB SD can be found easily for less than $30 now. The $99 price is still too high. A 2GB SD can be found easily for less than $30 now.

Will this thing wirelessly transfer your files to your PC instead?
