i think they eye fi card has a good advantage for if say your doing a wedding and you want to show yours files on a screen whist walking around but you don't have time to download

@freestylefilmsinc Yep, but only if shooting jpeg, because raw is really slow :\

Wait for it. It will eventually make sense.

Saved me some cash. Thanks a lot for this video! No talking needed :) I'll not bother with the PRO version after watching this. I'll shoot RAW + jpg on the non-PRO card. Should be able to make do with the smaller jpgs for review and sharing on an iPhone when out and about. Keep the big RAWs on the card itself till I get home for archiving / editing.

@scottx0 ah, fair enough i only shoot raw.

The Eye-Fi is an awesome idea, but it takes too loong. AFAIK it's not possible to just use your own Wi-Fi network. So I hope they will continue to develope these SD-Wi-Fi cards.
