Hello hoggers,
As always I look to the best and nicest forum I know for great advice. I'm thinking about getting this card, please let me know if it works as advertised. I'm thinking it will transfer jpegs only or maybe raw files? If using it what is your experience with it. Thank you for any advice you can share with me.
Happy holidays to all the hoggers
You guys are the best, bar none

Juander, a 30-second Google search got me the answer, although I cannot guarantee its correctness as I am totally unfamiliar with this card, but here goes:

If that doesn't include the answer you need, on the bottom left of that same page is a link to Customer Support - you can always drop them a line.

Merry Christmas!

I have an 8 gig version of that card. It does work as advertised. Not the fastest option by any means, but it does work.

Hi Juan, I bought the 32 Gig Mobi Eyefi card to be able to look at the picture that I just took with my D7000 on my Nexus 7 in. tablet which I attach to my tripod leg with a microphone mount.

I find that I am not using it very much because it takes too long to download to the tablet. When I contacted Eyefi they said that the file size is what is making it take so long. I am recording RAW on card 1. and JPEG on card 2. and downloading only the JPEG images to the tablet. I am recording the highest quality JPEG image on the card. It sometimes takes over half a minute to download to the tablet and by that time I want to be on to the next picture.

When I become more comfortable with using RAW only for my finished product I will decrease the JPEG file size of card 2. and use it exclusively to download to the tablet. That should speed up the process.

Eyefi also said that the amount of metal around the camera and tablet (including the metal in the camera) and also the distance between them would affect the speed of the transfer.

I hope this helps you decide whether you want to go that route.

The ad says up to 45 ft indoors. How far are you using your tablet from your camera?

For it to work for me I would need it to be reliable at 15 to 20 feet.

A minute download would work for what I need.

Thanks

Seems like it's going to be too slow for my need

The Toshiba FlashAir card is kind of cool. it is wireless n and can do quite a lot it runs a little webserver which you can visit to download any file. Depends how you set it up as to how you use it. There are apps which monitor the dcim folder and download any new files. it can work as a hotspot so you can connect i think 5 pc's to it. it can work as an access point too you connect to the card and the card connects to your wireless lan. or alternatively you connect to your lan and its a server on there. you can even set it up as a document server it can work from a usb card reader plugged into a charger. Its probably worth a look anyway as an alternative.

Thanks; I will look at it.

I never thought I would want or need to have a camera that was WiFi capable.

I tried to resist i just needed a card to carry a 5gb file home i lasted a week before i went back and bought the thing :) Just downloaded a raw from my g5 about 18Mb in roughly 30 seconds using Google Chrome.

Shouldn't matter if it's jpeg or raw or tiff. It's just data to the card.

AS I said, I have the tablet attached to my tripod leg so it would be about one foot.

I missed that; not paying enough attention.
