Digital Photography Tips and Techniques

Responding to popular demands, a new member has been added to the Eye-Fi wireless memory card product family. The new Pro version of the 4GB SDHC card supports various RAW formats and Ad-Hoc networking so you don’t have to be close to a wireless access point or Wi-Fi hotspot for it to work. It can now directly transfer photos to a computer with a wireless networking card but not necessarily connected to the Internet. The card is now shipping for $149.99. That is a significant $50 premium you will be paying for the two new functions. In case you are not sure if this one is for you, check out the Eye-Fi card comparison chart.

If you are using cameras that take only Compact Flash (CF) memory card, a SDHC to CF adapter such as this one may work but it is not officially supported.
