Eye-Fi Wireless SD Cards

Make your camera instantly wireless with an Eye-Fi card

The Eye-Fi slips into any camera that uses an SD card. It acts just like any memory card, recording your photos onto its flash memory. But when you get home ("Home" model) or to a wireless hotspot ("Explore" model) the magic starts.

Turn your camera on and the Eye-Fi connects to the network and wirelessless uploads your photos to your computer and/or favorite online photo sharing site like Flickr, Shutterfly, Facebook, Walmart, PhotoBucket or others. The Eye-Fi works with Mac or PC computers. The Eye-Fi Share model was named as a "Very Innovative Product" by Good Housekeeping in their first annual VIP awards.

Say goodbye to cables. The Eye-Fi makes procrastination about those photos you just took a long forgotten memory.

The Eye-Fi comes in three models

Home, Share or Explore - Pick the one that's best for you

Explore - The Explore model gives one the most features. Upload your phtos to your home computer, online sharing sites, and use Wayport hotspots and geocoding as you upload your photos. This is the best choice if you're using your Eye-Fi for business.

Share - The Share model is the middle of the Eye-Fi line. It allows you to upload photos to your home computer, as does the Home model, as well as automatically uploading to online services such as Facebook, Flickr, PhotoBucket, SnapFish, Walmart Photo and many others.

Home - The Home model is Eye-Fi's entry-level model. It allows you to easily transfer your photos from your camera to your home computer. While you might be tempted by the low price point and simple utility, consider stepping up to the Share model if you use any online photo services at all.

In addition, Eye-Fi has now released models that can handle both photos and video. These new video-capable Eye-Fi cards are available in the Explore or Share models and are creatively named "Eye-Fi Explore Video" and "Eye-Fi Share Video" cards.

First, open the Eye-Fi plastic packaging

You'll want an OpenX to easily open your Eye-Fi packaging

OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener

Amazon Price: $1.99 (as of 05/30/2012)Buy Now

To get inside the plastic packaging consider ordering an OpenX. This device makes easy work of those difficult plastic packages. We've also seen the Eye-Fi in a cardboard box that slides open, but not at our local Best Buy.

Inside the Eye-Fi package

When you get through the packaging this is what you'll find.


Inside the Eye-Fi packaging, you'll find the wireless SD card inserted into a card reader, along with a quick start guide. You use the card reader to initially configure your Eye-Fi card. The software is on the SD card itself, so there's no need for a CD.
