For those wondering, a decent branded 8GB class 6 SDHC card currently retails for around $25-30 so the $100 Eye-Fi Pro X2 does have a premium for the networking and software features. Flash rated at Class 6 speeds (or 6MB/s for those wondering what the class system means) which is good enough for many applications although is certainly not the fastest on the market today. The Eye-Fi Pro X2 is relatively diminutive given the fact that it packs 8GB of NAND, a 802.11n radio, and logic on the card to handle many of the features all in the compact SDHC form factor. I recently became a user with my Canon DSLR and have to say, despite the steep price, I think it was a worthwhile purchase. Eye-Fi products have been around for some time now with the cool feature of combining flash storage and a WiFi radio in a small package to alleviate capacity and transfer headaches. Serious and recreational photographers alike know that today’s flash storage is great in terms of digital photo storage but there are still memory constraints involved, especially with HD video and the physical act of transferring the cards from device to PC can be painful if done repeatedly. The Eye-Fi Pro X2 8GB combines a 802.11n WiFi connection and 8GB of Class 6 SD card storage in a standard SDHC card package, delivering a unique value proposition in the process.
