This post brought to you by Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.
I love sharing my pictures with my friends and family on Facebook and Flickr, but getting my pictures from my camera to online can sometimes be such a pain. The pictures end up sitting on my camera for months until I forget about them.
I was thrilled when I was contacted to do a review for the Eye-Fi Memory Card. This tiny little gadget just may change your life! Eye-Fi looks just like a standard sd card and fits any sd camera. But this sd card has a little secret trick……it has a wifi transmitter! What does that mean exactly? It means no cords or card reader needed to get your pictures on your computer or even online!!
Let me give you a scenario……….You’re having your child’s birthday party at your house, you’ve already installed Eye-Fi on your computer (super duper easy) and you have the Eye-Fi memory card in your camera. You take a few shots of pin the tail on the donkey, set the camera down, turn it on, and Eye-Fi will load your pictures right to Facebook for you, while you get the cake ready to serve!
Take a few more pictures of the cake and your little cutie blowing out the candles, and Eye-Fi uploads them to Facebook while you lick chocolate cake off your fingers! How’s THAT for EASY!! Eye -Fi does all the work for you!
– The Eye-Fi memory card (SDHC) replaces your existing memory card but does a lot more: * Automatically organizes your photos & videos into date based folders * Saves you time by using your Wi-Fi network instead of hunting for cables or card readers * Your photos are already waiting for you – whether you want to print a photobook, scrapbook or share your favorites on your online site All you have to do is turn your camera on!!
What’s required to use an Eye-Fi card: 1.) Compatible SDHC camera (to check if your camera is compatible, please visit https://support.eye.fi/cameras) 2.) Wi-Fi network 802.11b/g/n 2.4Ghz 3.) Broadband Internet 4.) Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS X 10.5 and up Watch the video to see how easy it is!

I love to blog and I love to take pictures. Of my travels, of my food , of friends and places and projects. I have so many cords for cell phone, ipod, camera, gps…it would be nice to eliminate the camera cord and send pictures from my camera quickly & direction to the computer!
Oh this is just what I need and I didn’t even know it existed!! It will simplify my life and streamline my whole picture taking process which often includes hunting for the cord!
I absolutely adore the eye-fi card I already have, but it’s an older model to this one. I would love to have a newer faster one!
OMG, I would absolutely love to win this. I am so technoligically handicapped and I have to ALWAYS have to call one of my kids to help me download pics to my computer. What a lifesaver, timesaver and making me look like a somewhat “cool mom” this SG card would do for me. Thanks for the contest and good luck to all!
I would love a eyefi card to help me get my pictures organized better by getting them off the card.
I soooo need this. Especially since I lost the cord to my camera.
What a neat idea! I would love to win one, mainly because I take a lot of pictures at school and it would be easier to upload them to the computers there. Right now, I have to come home, hook up the cord, download, save to a flash drive, and then transport it back to school.
this would be so convenient to transfer pictures of my new baby girl
WOW! Love the Eye-Fi memory cards! I own 3 cameras plus a camcorder! I LOVE LOVE taking pictures! I have so many that I had to purchase an external hard drive just for my photos! What a time saver the Eye-Fi memory card would be!
I have heard such good things about the Eye-fi Memory Cards. I have wanted one for a while. Recently my SD card reader on my computer broke and I can’t for the life of me find my cord. So when I want to put pics on the computer for the blog I have to put them on the boyfriends computer then email them to myself and download them. SO ANNOYING!!

I would so love one of these. My pictures always sit on my camera for months.
That is sooooooooo AWESOME! I can never find my camera cord when I need to download pics!
I’d love this! (I’d just have to convince Hubby to buy me a camera that uses SD cards instead of CF like my old Canon DSLR).
Sounds like a wonderful EASY way to get pics onto my computer
That’s the neatest thing I’ve ever heard! I would love to have one. My memory card stays out of my camera more than in and sometimes I actually leave the house with my card in the card reader. That means no pictures. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have been wanting one of these cards. They seem like such a great time saver.
I have never heard of this before, but it sounds awesome! I would love one because I can never EVER find my cord to connect my camera to my computer.
I’ve been wanting one of these soooo bad, but kind-of pricey. Please tell me you’re doing a give-a-way!
No cords-what’s not to love about it! I’ve so been wanting one of these!
I am really bad about transferring pictures from my camera to my computer. We kayak (hopefully soon!) and I always worry about dropping the camera into the lake and losing all those memories. This would be awesome!
What a great concept! I have the same issue with my photos. I am forever forgeting about them. This would make sharing phots super easy!
I was just saying the other day how I need something like this, and I didn’t even know it existed!! My friends and family who get mad at me for never posting pictures would be thrilled if I won!!….I would, too 🙂
With five people with cameras in the household it would be so convenient for everyone especially the teens to download wirelessly to avoid wires or cables

I’ve seen these before and I NEED one- how awesome would it be if I won??!!!?? Well awesome for me! LOL 🙂
I would love to have an Eye-Fi card so I won’t always be the person who took the picture but never transfered it off of my camera!

Need it! I have a million cords, never the right one! Thanks for doing this:)
What?!?! I had no idea that this gadget existed!!!
Oh please, oh please let me win!!!! 😉
This would be fantastic and would help a lot with the grandkids birthdays and all the holidays. Would love it…
I am notorious for taking pictures and then not doing anything with them! Like you I have pictures on my camera from I don’t even know when! I love the idea of this product! I’ll definately have to look into getting one, unless I win one! 🙂
Best idea EVER! As a new blogger and occasional party hostess/planner with 2 photogenic kiddos, I would LOVE to win this! 🙂
Pictures off of the camera in less than a month?!? I’m in! Pick me!!!

Gotta love the technoGods(geeks)! This would save my sanity! Gotta get me one!
What a great product! Would love to win one.
Oh my goodness do I neeeeed one of these! I have pictures on my camera from Christmas still!!!! Would love this 🙂
This would be so handy since my pictures usually sit on my camera forever because its such a hassle to load them into the computer. I have two little girls and take lots of pictures, this is definately on my wish list
I would love to have this because it will be a great sd card for my new fancy camera we got after our 2nd child (2y.o. and 3 m.o.) And then maybe I can find time to get our blog updated more often because all the tedious work of adding pictures to our computer will already be done!
What will they come up with next? This is an amazing item and I think it would be awesome when on vacation. Is there a distance limitation, Cheryl? I would love and Eye-Fi and winning one would be fantastic!!!!
Thanks for the chance.
I had no idea this even was out there….how cool is that……Oh yes I want one….even if I don’t win….I might have to spend my hard earned money and buy one…and a couple for gifts too…Thanks!
I would sooooo love to win an Eye-Fi memory card. How cool is that little card!!!!! What will they think of next.
I would L-O-V-E this card!!!!! I have a 2 year old daughter and all of our family lives out of town so they basically watch her grow up through pictures. With this auto upload, I’d be able to update more frequently which would THRILL them!
Love this idea! This would be great to have!
I was just thinking the other day how much easier it would be if there was wifi on my camera! Thanks so much for telling us about this!:)
This would be so handy for the 10 million pictures that I take!!
Ooooh. I have always wanted one of these! I could actually get the pictures of my new son off the camera and print them out!
I need this because I take tons of pictures!
I could really use one of these nifty cards! I stink at all things picture related – taking pictures, uploading pictures, organizing pictures, printing pictures…… you get the picture 🙂
I have never heard of this! I am so behind & I always have to wait for my gadget geek husband to download my pics! This sounds super simple; I could show him!!!
