Eye-Fi Card and Compatibility page

[Kage333]

thanks for the info...sad to hear not a easy fix, but good to know.

As I posted in a thread I created, what about the Panasonic DMC-TS3? This is a great camera that would be made even better with an eye-fi card.

The Kodak PlayTouch Zi10 does not work properly for transmitting large videos because it splits files into 4GB chunks instead of 2GB. Would you guys please consider updating your firmware to automatically split these large files and reassemble them on the client instead of just not transmitting at all? Thank you.

Hi, does this mean if I would not format the eyefi card I could use it in this camera (and hopefully also the ZR10)? So only deleting the old images and maybe formating in the computer instead of in the camera could help??? BR Jens

Hi, please help me as I am confused.
the compatability chart lists the Nikon D70 etc as compatible - and yest at the same times says it is not compatible with CF adapters. The D70 only has a CF slot... so is the camera compatible or not??

Mike,

The compatibility chart does NOT list the D70 as compatibile. The dropdown list shows the cameras we have in our database and one needs to select the specific camera to find out it's compatibility state.

Anybody have experience with the Eye-Fi Connect X2 and the J40 ?

[Texarc]

I was ignorant enough to not realize there was a compatibility chart, that there was the possibility of *any* compatibility issue when I bought the 8 gig Pro card which subsequently proved to be *useless* with both my Casio Ex-F1 PRO and my Casio ZR100, both superb and cutting edge cameras (that's probably why it doesn't work). SO I'm stuck with no neat features of the Eye-Fi in my life. Imagine if I could have been able to real-time upload the photos I took, which you can see at the usa archery records as an org website from the US Olympic Trials for USA Archery held this last few days, where I was a primary photographer. I had to wait till each evening and upload them the old-fashioned way, since the Eye-Fi still does not support the Exilim high speed cameras. What I would have LOVED to have done is to have them posted in realtime, using my Sprint EVO with a hotspot, tied to my laptop, receiving and passing the photos from my camera. Dang it! Incidentally, it is hilarious that this bulletin board won't let me post the actual address to the place where I've upload hundreds of awesome olympic archery photos. sheesh.

boo-hoo, woe is me

My Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB + Wi-Fi works just great in my Canon PowerShot SX1 IS.

Note that the SX1 is IS not listed in the compatibility database.

You are right it wasn't on the list, that camera actually had been confirmed in the past. Thank you for pointing that out. It is now in the database.

I have a Panasonic DMC-FT2
While the FT1 and FT3 are listed as compatible, I decided to take chance that the FT2 would be fine.
It appears to be OK so far. Takes a while to upload, but that's my router I'm sure.
Need to adjust the power off settings on my camera, which of course shortens the battery life, but to be expected, and worth it for the benefits!
Oh, and I've figured out how the Eye Fi card actually works......
Magic! Has to be.......

Hi, may I know Sony NEX-5D is compatible for the pro x2 ??

[sackerman]

Hi-
I see some earlier discussion of the Kodak Zx1, which is listed in the compatibility list now as "NOT compatible with Eye-Fi X2 Cards" but seems to be compatible with older versions of eye-fi cards. I can kind of understand if a particular camera is not compatible to start with, but what makes the X2 cards not compatible on a camera that was previously supported?
Thanks

SD interfaces on all cameras are different. At Eye-Fi we are constantly working to create a balance among the widest range of cameras to make as many compatibile as possible. Sometimes when we make a camera compatible, it breaks other cameras and visa versa. The Kodak Zx1 has some bizarre SD interface issues that are very sensitive to power contraints. The older card fit within those contraints, the X2 card does not.

I own a few Canon Powershot TX1 cameras for lenticular 3D photography. I noticed it wasn't on the compatibility list. Based on previous forum posts regarding compatibility issues, I assume it hasn't been tested yet. It is really important for me to use Eye-Fi for my 3D photography since its very time-consuming to remove the cameras from the specially-designed appartatus.

Would you allow me to mail the camera in a self-addressed box to Eye-Fi in an attempt to add this camera to the compatibility list? I know a few other 3D photographers and CHDK users who would benefit greatly from it.

I currently have eight Eye-Fi cards and will definately purchase more, if this issue is resolved. The Canon Powershot TX1 is ideal for stereographers since it has a very narrow profile. Unfortunately, no other Canon models resemble this particular camera.

Well this interesting, your website says my Camera is compatible, your customer support have just told me it's "untested" and they have no idea if it's compatible or not?

Hello Steve,

Thank you for contacting Eye-Fi Customer Care.

Unfortunately, Eye-Fi has not tested this camera to confirm its compatibility. There have not been any reports of users having problems with this camera, and cameras very similar to it are compatible, but there is not a complete guarantee that this particular model will be compatible.

What camera are you referring to?

[GZukes]

According to the compatibility page the Kodak C813 is Not compatible. I installed a Connect X2 4MB in my Kodak C813 and was able to upload all photos to my iPhone using the iPhone/iPad app using the direct wireless link. I could not connect to the camera when I had my home wireless network set up on the card. The direct connection network did not appear since a known wireless network was in range. I did not try to upload photos to my computer, so I don't know if that works.

Update: I was able to connect using my home WiFi. The reason I couldn't connect before was due to an ID10T error.

GZukes,

Thanks for posting about your experience. Sometimes cameras are compatible with the 4GB card, but not so compatible with 8GB card. Or there was previously a problem, and in the future that problem will come back with firmware updates. So while it works now, it may not work in the future.

I have a Nikon D50, and I need the features of the Pro cards, but they only come in 4 and 8 gb, which my camera will not support. If I partition the card down to 2gb, will the card work with the camera?

[ahinchcliffe]

no if the camera does not support SDHC then the 4 and 8gb cards will not work regardless of how they are partitioned.

i thought i would spend a moment on Google on your behalf and managed to find a reference to someone using a 4GB card in the Nikon D50 when it was formatted in another device but you would be sticking your neck out buying a card on these test results as the Nikon D50 does not officially support SDHC.

but hey heres the link anyway http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_ ... =6007-7905

i cant find the olympus TG-1 listed on the eye-fi compatibility page. But it's connected (shows transferred icon and i can turn on/off in the menus) and olympus mentions so in the manual.

anyone able to explain what the eye-fi icon at the top right of playback means? The olympus manual is unclear. Seems white is eye-fi on. Green blinking is try to connect? And Solid Green is transferring?

[jsun]

hi michaelk,

Agreed, it's great that manufacturers like Olympus build Eye-Fi Connected features into their firmware, but strange when they don't fully document these features in the manuals. Olympus usually tells you how to turn Eye-Fi uploads on (good thing since it's often disabled) but I haven't seen any mention of the blinking SD card icon. It mentions that the wireless icon you see in Playback mode means "Eye-Fi Transferred", so I assume that means the photo was uploaded by the card.

As for the SD icon at the bottom left of the Shooting Mode screen, based on a few tests with a TG-810 I think this is what's happening:

• White "IN" icon = internal memory, no SD card inserted
• White "SD" icon = non Eye-Fi card inserted
• White Eye-Fi icon = Eye-Fi card inserted, not transmitting
• Green Eye-Fi icon blinking on/off = card is transmitting (trying to connect to a network or broadcasting Direct Mode) but not yet transferring media
• Green Eye-Fi icon animated = card is transferring media

Since the TG-1 isn't listed on our web site yet, we probably haven't tested it. It's an Eye-Fi Connected model from a popular manufacturer, so hopefully it will work well for you. Please let us know if you experience any issues with it.

Thanks!

[michaelk]

Thanks for checking on the 810- those conventions seem to match what I see on the TG-1 (tough to tell because I'm traveling and so far have only had less than perfect hotel wifi to try it with so although it's seem to be transferring a few times - nothings made it to center.eye.fi just yet).

I HAVE had a few issues. A few lockups when i futzed with the eye-fi settings, and a few 'card error' screens. Sadly my old camera died on vacation so i picked up this one- the card had pictures from the old camera not yet transferred so I can't format the card in the TG-1 just yet. Hopefully once i get home and get everything transferred off then reformat the card in this camera then all will be well.

there's one bummer- while the box has the eye-fi connected logo and all the literature is full of mention of eye-fi (GOOD for eye-fi), someplace something said "endless memory not supported with this camera" . Is that something that can be fixed in a future firmware update? As above i haven't had a chance to try it out to see if that's accurate or not (haven't been able to transfer everything over just yet)

I bought a Connect X2 card and generic 'Extreme CF 4th generation' adapter with the purple label. At first the camera gave me a 'Card not formatted' error, and even though I left it for an hour we got no further forward. I then put the card in a pocket sized Fuji camera where it worked fine. Unfortunately, the camera auto powered off and left some files open on the card. Next time I switched it on I had a 'Card Error'! Fixed this by disabling auto off and formatting the card in the Fuji. The card now works correctly in the D70. I realise now, that the card ships with some software installed, and the Nikon didn't recognise it. Once this was removed by formatting there was no longer a problem.

I was very pleased to be able to implement direct connection to my laptop (without a network). This allows me to upload images almost immediately to the larger screen in the studio as I am shooting them - Result!

This has given me confidence to try a PRO card and see how we go with RAW files......

[maoglone]

I recently got a Nikon L310 as a gift and am interested in picking up an Eye-Fi card for it; however, I don't see it on any compatibility lists, so I'm afraid to pull the trigger. I suppose this camera hasn't been tested?
