For those who tag or organize, who blog or share in real-time, who need to upload here, there, or somewhere else; and for all the rest who are simply passionate about managing, sharing, and saving their memories: there is now the Eye-Fi Explore Wireless SD card. It uploads photos wirelessly to your computer and to the web, of course. But, Eye-Fi Explore also automatically adds geographic location labels to your photos and allows you to upload from more than 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the nation. Your memories will be easier to search and more fun to share with geo tags, and you'll be able to upload them while on the go.

Summary: Works well but does not seem to transfer video recorded on camera
Comment: It works amazing for photos. Uploads them speedy. However one thing I didn't realize before purchase was videos recorded on my Kodak camera don't wirelessly transfer. So I still have to connect a cable to my camera when I want to take those from the camera. Would be a 5 star review if it handled the videos.

Summary: 5.0 out of 5 stars Easily and Wirelessly Transfers your Photos!!
Comment: This is the best new product I have ever seen! This card works perfectly with many of my SD cameras completely rendering cables useless!!
First off, the registration. A quick and simple registration (which you must have an internet connection for) helps you register the Eye-Fi Card with Eye-Fi's server to prevent unauthorized users from using *your* Eye-Fi Card. During the registration process, you also set up your wireless network (with your personal wireless DHCP enabled router), which works with Open, WEP or WPA encryption. It sends a test packet to the Eye-Fi Server, and once it verifies it's arrival, BAM! Your wireless network is set up. The next two are setting up your photo sharing accounts, personally, I use Webshots, and also directing your photos where to save on your computer. After that, you slap your Eye-Fi Card in your camera, take a picture and wammo! The picture is on the hard drive and on the photo sharing web site!
With so many new features added in the past few months, like geotagging and hotspot access on the Explore Card, this has become a necessity for anyone who uses a digital camera on a regular basis. I have not noticed any excessive battery usage on any of my cameras, which are two Nikons and a Canon.
Now, there are additional features, such as e-mail and SMS notifications, so if I'm not near my computer, I don't have to check the Eye-Fi Manager to see if my pictures have uploaded, my phone will tell me so.
It's a great product, but, please, don't buy this card with the intention that it will do what it is not advertised to do, such as create a wireless connection for your PDA, transfer RAW and movie files, send pictures back and forth between your digital picture frame and your camera. No, only JPG files, folks. And it does it flawlessly!

Summary: Painfull...for the most part
Comment: Liked it from the start. Installation was easy. It's so easy there's not even an install disc. The software is on the SD card itself. If you can insert a usb stick and click yes a few times then you can install this. The interface is clean and lightweight. The software struggled with my Vista 64bit setup but was fine with XP 64. The problem was, and still is, that I have to open the eye-fi manager software two or three times to get it working. Most times it will load the main page but a few seconds later it reloads the page and says I'm disconnected. Even with this problem I give 5 stars. It's user-friendly and nifty. The Explore works in Raw+Jpeg mode. It uploads all the Jpegs and leaves the RAW on the card.
*edit* -So far I haven't been able to geotag a thing. I've turned it on and I shoot in downtown san diego so no problem with hotspots. Everything uploads fine, but nothing is tagged with location data. What gives???

Summary: AWSOME!!
Comment: If you don't have it, your missing the boat. This IS the future of pic sharing and storage.

Summary: Fantastic Product
Comment: This is a fantastic product. The install was painless - it dealt with security on my home network seamlessly. You don't even need to deal with an install CD-ROM/DVD - plug the included reader in your USB port and it self-installs.
It's almost like magic - take pictures at home and they just appear on your computer and photo hosting service.
Very highly recommended.
