On the Road Again!

Over three years since I invested in this card and after a year or so of it working when it felt like it with the notebook turned on it I forgot about it. Returning to it recently has discovered that neither Sandisk not Eye-Fi support this generation of their cards and their customer support is totally useless. The software won't work with WIN10 and they have done nothing to assist their customers. They were happy to take the money off us all, and there must be thousands if not 0000's sold. But now we are on our own.   A 4GB SD card is worthless nowadays with ever increasing file sizes and write speeds. Another gimmick for the back of the drawer or the rubbish bin. Original posting

It's about a month since I got hold of this card and it has been pretty good. The "save" time seems no different to the Kingston and other SD cards. I am using it in a Canon 300D that usually takes compact flash cards, so I have a CF to SD adapter as well.   It is very easy to setup and works pretty well. What is a surprise is that when the camera is on and the laptop with the Eye-Fi software installed that there is a delay before the pictures start to arrive.   In the first blog I posted a pic of the photos arriving. As well as a delay in the first one arriving, they arrive in batches.    I took a small batch at the Ashford Classic Motorcycle Show, and once home, it took four or maybe five bursts to get the dozen or so photos down, and better part of 25 minutes.   The system's "Endless Memory" is turned on but as yet, with a card that holds over 900 photos, I've not got to the point when it starts to overwrite the oldest ones.   All...

What are the benefits of the SanDisk Eye-Fi SD card over the standard SanDisk SD card? On the face of it, not that much.   I bought this one as a gadget. It was at the very right price but still more costly than the standard 4GB card.   The card doesn't give the full 4gb as it contains a little software that is installed on the PC. Firstly, I installed it on our Acer Aspire One notebook. It's most likely the computer we would take with us on a trip as it only has a 10.1" LED screen and is very compact.   The software loads really easily and there are basically three steps:  1 - Stick the card in its own USB reader in a slot. 2 - Install the Eye-Fi Center and follow the instructions to set it up for your wifi. 3 - Put the card in a camera and take a pic..... It took about 10 minutes to load and about half a minute to recognise the card in the camera and then a small window appears in the bottom right of the screen and it loads the pix.   In the...

Anyone used or know someone that has used one of these or the SanDisk version? If it can wifi (supposing there is a wifi connection) from anywhere to your PC or phone, then okay, but the blurb I have read seems it has to be your home wifi?  Doesn't seem much point as you can put it into the SD slot......
