Not shooting to CF cards is not a disadvantage. CF cards are old tech. Camera bodies have an expiration date. Granted some of the best image capturing cameras still use CF technology but this is purely because the new generation of full frames have not been born. But… 2012 is going to rock. I am glad companoes like eye-fi remain progressive instead of wasting their development resources producing devices for anachronistic camera models.

Photographers seem to be so limited in our sight. I laugh at all the people telling me how thier glass will hold value, yada ya. Glass is on the way out big time. The near future in imaging tech will be liquid lenses directly above sensors with 50%+ plus of the image being recreated through computation. The only value to that glass will be as an antique artifact.

Let go of your CF card… its served you well. On to new and better things.

Your podcast omits the fact that this product is just not made for the majority of professional level cameras that require CF cards. I’d like to see the GPS feature explained as well. Looks like a very interesting product otherwise.

I’ve used a CF adapter for mine since the day I bought the card, and I’ve never had a minute’s problem with it. I shoot with a D200; I’ve used it in a D70 also with no problem. I know about the manufacturer’s caveat, but it seems to work fine for me.

Just my 2 cents and my own limited experience!

Any reviews/recommendations for a CF version? I also use a D300, and Eyefi asserts that converters corrupt the card, and that I shouldn’t use one! Any CF option would be welcome.

I use the PRO version in a CF adapter on my Nikon D3 and it works quite well. Don’t remember exactly where I got the adapter, but it was only about $10. Love the ability in a studio-type setting to shoot, see the results, and not be tethered with a long cord.

Like many, I’m wondering about the speed of transferring a high quality jpeg from the camera to the laptop.
Reviews I see seem to be very across the board from 45 seconds to several minutes.
How does the speed compare to tethered shooting? Can it really be used for onsite printing at events while a client waits?

Thanks

Don
