Q: Does it require a subscription fee?

A: Nope. Uploads to your computer don't require a subscription, and uploads to websites with Eye-Fi Share or Eye-Fi Explore are free.

Q: Can I use hotspots other than my own?

A: Sure. With Eye-Fi Pro you get a 1 year complimentary subscription to Wayport hotspots (hotels, airports, even Starbucks).

Q: Will it reduce my battery life?

A: Advanced power management (the wifi is only powered-on when there are files untransfered and the camera is idle) keeps battery usage low.

Q: What if my camera takes CompactFlash (CF), MemoryStick, xD, or something else?

A: Unfortunately CompactFlash doesn't don't work with the Eye-Fi cards (*womp, womp, womp*).

Q: How does geotagging work on the Eye-Fi Pro?

A: If you have Eye-Fi Pro, whenever you take a photo, Eye-Fi takes note of nearby wireless base stations. When your photos are uploaded, it uses that data to triangulate your location for each photo -- it's the same way the iPhone's Google Maps location works. Photos you put on sites that support Geolocation (like Flickr) will let you see your photos on a map!

Q: What if my computer's off?

A: No problem. Your photos will download to your computer next time it's on. (You can also choose to send your photos only to an online service, or only to your computer.)

Q: What if some photos are private? I don't want everything on Flickr...

A: Tell Eye-fi to mark every photo upload as private, then just make the ones you want to share public via your web browser!

Q: Can I upload from more than one wireless network?

A: Yup. You can set up Eye-Fi to recognize as many wireless networks as you want. Whenever it sees any one of those networks, it'll start uploading photos. (If it sees more than one, it'll pick the one with the strongest signal.)

Q: Can I upload photos directly to my computer without an Internet connection?

A: Yes! If your Eye-Fi is setup only to send photos to your computer, it can do this without a net connection. You'll still need a wireless access point, and access to the Internet to complete initial setup. (If you want to send photos to an online photo sharing service, You can still take photos without a connection. They'll upload next time you have one.)

Q: What sharing sites can I use to upload my photos to?

A: Get a full list of them here.

Q: Is this magic?

A: Yes

Connect vs. Pro

There are several models of Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD cards available. Here's what you need to know:

Eye-Fi Connect is super affordable, and will let you wirelessly upload videos and photos to your home computer and favorite sharing sites such as Flickr, Facebook, YouTube and dozens of others.

Eye-Fi Pro X2 has Class 6 read & write speeds (that's really really fast in nerd speak). It can upload and geotag videos and photos wirelessly to your home computer or online sharing sites. It also works with Ad Hoc transfers.

The Pro card includes a 1-year free subscription to WayPort hotspots so you can upload your photos from hotels, airports, even McDonalds and Starbucks (hello, instant Chicken McNugget photo sharing).
