Connect your camera to the Internet

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have always been a fan of the Eye-Fi product. Let me first describe what this gadget is all about. We all have digital cameras these days, and each of these cameras uses a memory card. The Eye-Fi card is a wireless enabled memory card. It basically converts your camera into a wifi device, which can connect to your computer or to the Internet wirelessly through a wifi Internet connection. I could go on and on, but probably the best way to explain what this card does is to show you a video of how it works. Take a look at the video below:

Now that you understand, imagine how useful this can be. I am always misplacing my USB card reader, and looking around for it whenever I need to transfer photos. With an Eye-Fi, you don’t need a card reader anymore. Actually, there are a lot more advantages than this. One of the biggest advantages of modern camera phones (such as the iPhone) is the ability to take a photo and upload it seamlessly to the Internet for instant sharing. The biggest drawback is that a camera phone usually takes poor photos. With an Eye-Fi card, you can take your photos from your camera which is good at taking photos, and then upload the photo to the Internet seamlessly from your camera itself.

The card comes with a software which you can install on your computer to configure how you want the card to work. It allows you to setup automatic backups and organization of your photos.

With the Eye-Fi card you should be able to avoid all the nagging reminders from friends and family for sharing your photos, simply because it becomes so effortless to do it. The Eye-Fi is only available in the SD/SDHC format, and that is probably the only bad thing about it.
