Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:12:09 +0000 http://unclutterer.com/?p=2668#comment-28466 Seriously crap card. The range is pathetic, they drain your camera battery and rarely post the pictures to your computer as they claim. It's amazing tech. but it's just not there yet. Buy a couple of 8+gb cards instead of this. ....and steve.. wtf is a "transfer card". Is that a term you just made up perhaps? Based on your comments you have absolutely no experience with the product too. Seriously crap card.

That is probably not much of a big deal for a proud parent or casual user, but for a professional user, having images display on a computer for an editor in almost real time is awesome. Who cares if the card is only 2 gigs? This isn't a storage card. If you are just looking for storage, there are MANY larger, and cheeper cards available. This is a transfer card.

Well that's pretty limited, isn't it? Update: I guess geotagging doesn’t work if there’s no wireless network in range? Well that’s pretty limited, isn’t it?

That would be the feature that gets me to buy one. How is the geotagging on these? That would be the feature that gets me to buy one.

Obviously since your camera is not integrated with this device there is no indication on the camera that that a transfer is taking place. You have to sit there with a folder open and watch the photos appear on your computer to know they're transferring at all. The range is terrible, but what can you expect from a wireless device as thick as a dime? The two worst things though, it KILLS your camera battery and it really is much slower than using a usb cable. I bought the Home version a while ago and I found it to be nothing but a gimmick.

When I take photos I'll sometimes take 5-10 shots at a time of the same thing. I do this so I can review them at home to find the best shot. 2GB would fill up FAST.

I would think the benefit of this is not the storage, but rather the ease of use. http://yinvsyang.com/ 2 GB is still a lot of room for pics, no?
