The Eye-Fi wireless SD cards are pretty cool — with an already-hefty 4GB of storage and its usability over wireless connections, it’s already netting a growing fan base among photographers. But Eye-Fi didn’t seem satisfied, and came up with upgrades to the little babies just in time for CES 2010. Now, the Eye-Fi Pro X2 has twice the storage — 8GB — and supports faster transfer range and speed via 802.11n Wi-Fi.
What’s more, the doubling-up on storage space and transfer speed doesn’t mean doubling-up on the price either — it still costs $149.99 a card. You can still upload RAW, video, and JPEG files from your camera without having to plug to the PC. Another new feature, Endless Memory, can automatically free up space as photos and videos are offloaded, whether to your PC or to the Internet.
Initial reviews say that offloading files to a PC via the Eye-Fi Pro X2 still isn’t as fast as using a USB cable or card reader, but is one step faster when it comes to uploading media straight to the Internet. Still, it’s always fun having the option to offload your photos from your camera to your PC without having to plug in.
