Eye-Fi Memory Card = Effortless Photo Uploads!

By

This post brought to you by Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am very selective about the products I share with you, so you can rest assured that when something gets my seal of approval, it is something I truly love. When I was presented with the opportunity to review the Eye-Fi Memory Card, I simply couldn’t pass it up. Because this SD card is outfitted with built in Wi-Fi,  it eliminates the need for cords and card readers! Eureka! No more frantic searches for a missing camera cord! After seeing this little device in action, I can say without and hesitation that this card is something that will revolutionize the way you manage your digital photos. Truly!

So here is my typical photo-uploading situation. The kiddos are napping. I have about 30 minutes to get the photos off of my camera and into some semblance of order on my hard drive. Camera in hand, I sit down at my desk. Where on earth is that cable again? Was that the cute little white “necklace” Charlotte accessorized her dress-up ensemble with yesterday? Did it wind up in the hands of my 18-month-old and then subsequently in the trash, just like two of our last three cordless phones? For 20 minutes I hunt to no avail. And then – there it is! Hooray! Except, now the kids are awake, and my computer time is up. 

Trust me: the above scenario has played out in this household more times than I care to admit. With Eye-Fi, though, that is one less worry I have on my plate. It took me only a matter of minutes to set up the included software on my computer, yet that minimal time investment will pay off handsomely. All I have to do now is turn my camera on, and Eye-Fi will automatically load and organize my photos into date-based folders! 

Check out the video below, and you’ll see just what I mean!

1.) Compatible SDHC camera (To check if your camera is compatible, please visit https://support.eye.fi/cameras)

    It is ironic that I come across this giveaway today. This weekend as Sea World I filled up my memory card. We were staying at my in-laws and didn’t have my camera cord so I was unable to free up space and keep clickin’.

  3. Laura @ ON{thelaundry}LINE says

    I want one of these, I think it would be really fun to put one into my little point-and-shoot camera and hand it off to my 3 yr old daughter to document life through her eyes. She loves taking pictures. Then she can share her six thousand picture-of-mommy-in-jammies-from-the-worse-angle-possible pictures with Grandma and Grandpa! Yay!

  4. Lindsey McFarland says

    Ohhh it seems like I’m always waiting until my card is full until I move my pictures over…..and full is usually 800+ pictures….no more excuses with this giveaway!

  5. The Pepper. says

    Would absolutely love to win this since I am not so technology savvy, but enjoy taking an immense amount of pictures of our 13 month old daughter.
    So not having to worry about one more added cord to use, that she could potentially get into would be great.

  7. Allison says

    I would love to win this Eye-Fi memory card to upload travel photos quickly so I can get them backed up online. It’s too much effort to upload the traditional way and I end up leaving all my photos on the camera. That’s just asking for trouble!

  8. M Mommy to 4 says

    I NEED this memory card! My husband’s overseas with the military for a year and, while he’s been gone, our fourth child was born. I was sitting next to my camera the other day when the baby smiled for the first time! I reached for the camera, only to realize that the memory card was still in my computer!!! Needless to say, no picture for Daddy of baby’s first smile. 🙁 Sad day! If I’d had this memory card, it wouldn’t have been an issue!

  10. The Witbecks says

    Oh, I definitely need this! I have the hardest time remembering to take my card reader out of the computer when I’m finished downloading. Very frustrating to be somewhere with our camera and not be able to save any photos!

  11. Amanda @ Serenity Now says

    I would looove to win this, Amy! I take lots of photos every day, but I’m not always the best about uploading them right away b/c it is a pain to open the camera up and dig the card out to link up. I LOVE using my new camera, but this product would be great to own. 🙂

  14. Deborah W. says

    I would love to get the Eye-fi card. It would make things so much easier and quicker. I won’t have to drag out the camera and cable to upload to my computer

  15. teampr8 says

    Hmm, well with 4 kiddos and a mom who is addicted to taking pics of them my memory card is often full, rather than scramble to decide what pics can be sacraficed and deleted to make way to snap a pic of an important event my memory card would be ready to go all the time. Thanks for letting me know about a great product!!

    I would live to give the Eye-fi Memory Card to my daughter as part of her graduation present. She always has a camera in her hand and as many parents know, all those pics get uploaded to FB. She loves technology and this memory card would make uploading a lot more fun and a whole lot easier for her.

  18. Sarah Johnson says

    I take my laptop to my nanny job and always have some free time to get stuff done; and it never fails, I either remember the camera and not the chord, or the chord, and not the camera. This would be so helpful!

  20. Magdi says

    This is soo amazing. No more having to take the card out of my camera and using a card reader. A couple of times I forgat to put my card back in my camera and in a rush I take my camera put it in my bag and when I take it out to shoot a photo, guess what????? no card!!!!! Ugggg!!!! With this it will never happen again!

  22. Joe, Christina, & Rocky says

    I should totally win this card because I’m helping some friends start up their fishing charter business – and a huge part of their “thing” is that they will be uploading pics instantly to the blog portion of their website and this would make it SO MUCH easier!

  23. The Doves says

    Photos are a way of life! As an avid Scrapbooker both digital and traditional photos are the lifeblood. I have spent moments in tears getting the “error” NO MEMORY CARD!!! this product is amazing, I have been waiting for years to find something so smart!! Thank you Eye-fi for thinking about the constant need for solving the need for “Where is the Memory Card Issue”!! I am so excited about getting on of these in my hand for each of my cameras, and for gifts for my fellow Photos lovers!!! Thank you for making something SIMPLE!!! This will make taking photos without fear – and I will never have the “Error Message” at the birth of my child again:(

  25. KariAnnS says

    We purchased one of these last year for Nick’s business. It’s super slick! I even used it at a corporate fundraising event and all the photos were downloaded by the end of the night. Very cool! I could always use a personal one for work

  28. Tater and Tot says

    This would be a life changer for me! Pictures sit on my card for months (months!!) and I am always scared that when I put the card in my computer, I will somehow mess it all up and my pictures will be gone forever! This would give me such peace of mind – I hope I win!!

  32. Amy Kyle says

    This would help me actually upload my pics to share with my family who is 6 hours away. What a blessing it would be to win this.

  34. Kay says

    I would love to win this memory card. I usually end up with 6 months worth of pictures on my camera before I know it. This would greatly help my friends whose kids pictures I took at Easter Egg hunts but probably won’t get copies of until Thanksgiving when I clean off my cards again for the holidays 🙂
    I also might actually start a craft blog like if it would be this easy to upload.
