Unlike the Eye-fi device that came out a few years ago, looks like this gizmo will let you push AND pull data with your camera.
Speaking of the Eye-Fi, any recent reviews of it? |

| ->> hey robert...I used the cheapest ($49) version of the eye-fi at a fundraiser for a friend where we had a "photo booth" set-up. for a donation I shot a photo and would pretty much instantly send it to the email address the subject provided. it worked great. computer my friend was running was about 20 feet away....I would shoot the photo(s) and they would download to the computer and viola! we sent them off. it was a little slow but the convenience of not switching out a card every single shot OR have a hard wire that people could trip over made it a real bargain. don't think it would work well with a heavy workflow...but it worked great for this application |

->> I recently did a senior portrait shoot at a local beach using an Eye-Fi card and iPad2.
I gave the iPad2 to my subject's sister, who was walking along with us.
With my Canon Mark IV set to capture a RAW file and a small jpeg, I used the Eye-Fi card to push the jpeg over fast and easy.
Feedback from big sister was much more valuable than mine (!) and the sisters could quickly discuss changes to hair and expression that were based on the familial connection.
They enjoyed -- and reassured by -- the quick peek on the big screen, and I benefited from knowing when I was on the right track with them.

| ->> I'm struggling to see the value in being able to *download* photos. Unless you're a GWC and want to download professionally shot photos to your camera so you can pretend *you* shot them... |

->> I have been playing with this idea for remotes for a while. Short of being Getty and spending a quarter of a mill to hardwire have a transmitter and tons of Cat5 cable, I was looking for a way to get these images off remotes, review them and even edit throughout the day for bigger horse events.
Could this work? Four remotes, all with SDHC cards like this, a laptop and a Wifi hotspot from a smartphone for the laptop? |

->> Chuck, Let's say the thing that you have your SD card isn't a camera and the things that you're downloading aren't images. Now do you see some applications?

->> Scott-
Yep. I'd just use a cellphone w/ tethering or a dedicated 3g/4g router instead of the laptop though. |

| ->> Mark - hmmm....possibly. But with everything non-camera moving to microSD now... :) Yeah, thinking too narrowly, I was. |
