I think I speak for every camera nerd out there when I say, Hallelujah!!! It’s about damn time Eye-Fi released an Ad Hoc enabled SDHC card. Live blogging will now be 100x easier.
The 4GB Eye-Fi Pro now supports RAW files on top of pre-existing support for JPEG and video files. Geotagging and Hotspot access are available on the Pro model as well. The Eye-Fi Pro is available now on Amazon and Eye-Fi for $149.
But that’s not all. Eye-Fi also announced a new feature, Selective Transfer, that lets you pick and choose what gets uploaded.
Using the “protect” or “lock” feature in the camera’s menu, users can select which files to wirelessly upload. Any “protected” photo will automatically be uploaded, and all photos will remain on the memory card until the user manually deletes them. Selective Transfer is free, and available now for all Eye-Fi card users through the Eye-Fi Manager.
On the Eye-Fi Connected camera front, the following cameras are all Eye-Fi Connected: Nikon D5000, Nikon D90, Nikon D60, Casio EX-S12, Casio EX-S5, Casio EX-FS10, Casio EX-FC100 and Casio EX-Z29.
nice supportive tool
Wait, wait, wait… please tell me they released a firmware update for those of us that forked out the $$ for a card already so adHoc can be used without shelling out more $$. That’s gunna really urk me. :( I would LOVE adHoc, but am not willing to pay more money to essentially throw my other card in a drawer. Obviously 4GBs is plenty for most devices, especially if you’re constantly offloading them. SD cards are a dime a dozen, so space (even without offloading is not an issue either). So to charge us $150 for another is insane! my $0.02 Please correct me if I’m wrong and they will simply make it available to the rest of us with only a firmware upgrade.
We’ll check with Eye-Fi and get back to you.
Eye-Fi 4GB SDHC Memory Card sale price $59.99 It works with any SDHC compatible camera or camcorder.
