The Eye-Fi Pro X 2 is a Wi-Fi enabled SDHC memory card. Pop it in the camera, and you can transfer your pictures to the computer through a wireless connection at home or a local hotspot. 8 GB X 2 is the latest model in the range of Eye-Fi, and adds some new features as the ability to transfer images over ad hoc networks and the option of raw images upload. At £ 120, it is a serious investment, though, the Wi-Fi capability will justify the price?
Select your Association
To use the X 2 wireless function, you must assign the card with a wireless network. We found this quite simply. X 2 comes with a USB card reader, and to get started, need to connect this 2 inserted with the X on the computer. The card comes pre-loaded with the software you need, and, once it is installed, you'll be taken through the Setup process. This is one of the search for your local Wi-Fi network, and assign this connection the X 2.
If a connection has been assigned, you can use the X 2 as well as a standard memory card in the camera. Take a picture, and brings the Eye-Fi helper software on your computer any photos you have taken and they start upload.
You can select the destination folder for uploaded images with Eye-Fi Center software.Storing the photos that you in the X 2 8 GB memory, the show is able, by all backlog of photos, which developed, so that you to not worry about waiting for a picture to upload, click a new work. We found that around 15 seconds via a 24 link upload a 12-megapixel image has, so don't expect not your photos on your computer to immediately pop up.
Top-class
The X 2 is a card of class 6, so you get a minimum data transfer speed from 6Mbps, and later, if your device can be supported. This means that you get a decent write speed with X-2-the less time to write data onto the memory card, can spend more time that you click.
There are several configurations, that you uploaded by X-2. ' Endless memory'-mode is space on your card according to your needs, clear by deletion of uploaded content, once the memory has filled out to a predefined point in time. Users can change the point at which the X space starts 2 clearing by a slider in the Customize software settings. We had no problems with this function, although if you really find it useful, this is something you need - decide when using this mode, will lose you the security of your images on your PC and memory card saved.
The X 2 for transferring files to an ad-hoc network by using wireless signal of your computer instead of a wireless router, you can. This is useful when you take a look, take no wireless connection shots somewhere is. With an ad-hoc network provides similar results of a correct network upload though setup process an ad-hoc network on your computer itself is more difficult, because the software will not help you - you need to set. In other words, Eye-Fi set up some online guidelines for an ad-hoc network and connect provides the X 2 available.
Eye-Fi with my little eye
Not all cameras will support, as it is a SDHC card 2 X. Eye-Fi offers a compatibility check on its Web site, although we found that there were some compatible and not compatible cameras from the listed-the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 and Nikon Coolpix S3000 is missing among them. If you think to buy the X 2 we suggest contact with Eye-Fi to make sure that your camera is compatible.
