The Mac and PC compatible Eye-Fi SD memory card flawlessly adds Wi-Fi to any camera and boasts a respectable 2GB of memory. The free Eye-Fi service supports uploading to numerous photo based websites with the touch of a button; including Flickr, Shutterfly and Webshots to name a few. Setup is a snap as it takes about five minutes or so to program the card. From there your home free, just snap some pics and within a few minutes within the range of your router, the pictures will be available for viewing on the computer. For those are paranoid, no need to worry the site claims “photo transmission is secure and private.” However, a major flaw is the fact that the card doesn’t support hotspots. The price comes in at a non-bank breaking $100. But snapping photos and uploading in real time is worth the extra coin, especially since the Eye-Fi is not a battery-draining vampire. The card is built about as ruggedly as any SD weighing in at 0.1oz so no added weight to the camera. The ease of use is about as simple as using a normal SD care and if wires are an issues for you, the Eye-Fi SD card is a simple alternative.
