Hello from the future! WIFI is indeed a part of modern cameras now!!!

I'm from the future. This is still useful as Sony can't transfer RAW files in 2020 via Wi-FI

This adapter is great. I got 3 and used SDCards to upgrade mini iPod memory from 4g to 32g and 64g. Saves lots of money versus using CF Cards. Try it people. I learn that here. Great presentation. Thanks... This adapter is about $16.00 only on Ebay.

Just got my Eye-Fi card today (8G) and will now be looking forward to getting one of these adapters to pop it into my Canon 7D! Thanks for this sweet video. Made my day!

thank you so much........I had NO idea they made these..... you just made my day!!! and changed all my headaches!!! You rock dude. thanks for sharing!!!!

To Paulhundreds. Simply put, the wifi feature lets you automatically upload your photos to a computer, mobile device or sharing site on the internet. All without cables or removing the card from your camera. Say I'm on vacation with my camera and the Eye-Fi X2 Pro 16GB. In my Canon A710, that'll hold almost 8,000 pictures. But if the card goes bad or I lose the camera, I've just lost up to 8,000 pictures. With the Eye-Fi, they're automatically saved to my computer or the internet as I shoot

I love the idea of an adapter, but there is a serious lag with shooting. With my CF card, I can shoot until the card is full but with a CF adapter and an SD card, the first shot is instantly recorded, the second takes 2 seconds to record, the third takes 5 secs... After waiting and waiting, I stopped using it altogether. (And I'm not talking about continuos shooting/burst mode.)

Amazon has them now: "SD-CF II: SD to CF Type II Adapter (Supports SDHC MMC)" - same adapter, looks identical. $15

Can I have your old cf cards then? :)

Thanks for the video, I wanted to try it out with Canon 5D MK II and now thanks to you! Working good, slow but I can wait. If you are close to wifi port it's faster :P

Nice demo of the SD to CF adapter.

Technically the CF adapter is highly active (there are lots and lots of electronics hidden in there). MicroSD ->SD, DVI-A->VGA adapters on the other hand are passive. And as some of the other commenters I would also be somewhat worried about the speed of SD cards vs. CF (Which could be affected by the adapter in use) Which can affect the length of bursts that the camera can sustain. On the other hand that only really matters if one uses burst shots in the first place.

It's not passive. The reason it "doesn't require a battery" is because it drains some power from the camera.

Note that the CF Card in the video will NOT fit the CF Slot in new Canon EOS 7D Mark II. It;s simply too thick for the camera's CF slot.

Should work fine on a Canon 5D

You can hack a type 2 adapter to make a type 1. You'll need a unused type 2 card for parts though. The instructions can be found online. My nikon d700 will only take type 1.

Thanks for the video, it's really helpful. I think I'll buy the adapter, since the eye-fi cards' prices dropped. It sure is convenient to be able to send pictures over network, but I doubt it may perform well when making hi-res video footage. I even had to replace memory card to do that, because the old one had too slow writing speed for it.

Yup, paired for fast wireless transfer to a Retina iPad with editing in iPhoto before upload & sharing... it's magic!

i think the day has come in witch WIFI is standard

When using this I like to shoot with RAW+JPG. Transfer RAW to PC as you normally do. JPG is better suited for quick previewing via wireless.

Same case here! I know the eyefi is the answer.. We just need to know how or when!

You can save or control the picture on your Iphone or any compatible cell phone

Just checked it out on Amazon and they say "Wi-Fi network thanks to built in 802.11n speed"... will have to get me one of those!

Interesting gadget, however I do all my photo editing on my pc anyway so no need for the time being, but it's good to know such things are possible.

Thanks for this. I have been seeing these at bestbuy and amazon but didn't know how they would work.

I have the same CDSD adaptor but after a few shots in the dreaded 02 error. This in either of my Rebel xTi bodies (400D to the rest of the world). I've even pulled the metal shield off the adaptor. It seems to be an overheating issue. I have two more arriving tomorrow (both stated to work with eyefi) and both apparently identical to the one in the video and to the one I have now. I hope that I can get it working, else the eyefi will sit til I upgrade to a newer camera.

Eye-Fi only goes up to class 6, where serious CF cards are at least 10 times faster.

SD cards are slower than CF cards in a 5D3. You'll lose write speed, and worse, buffer speed. Fact. If you don't need to shoot jpegs over wifi for the mere novelty of it, then steer clear of SD cards vs CF cards in a 5D3.

Yup, this is true. CF cards are faster and more stable than SD. While SD's are more widespread and easier to use, for professional use, especially in full-frame DSLR's, CF cards are preferable to SD's.

supposing if you hook it up with your wifi, it uploads the new photo stored onto computer with out connect the camera/card into your computer

SD are much cheaper per GB right now, and if you fill one, you just pop another SD card in, without having to save the data to a computer before you can continue.

It might be better but CF is greater than SD, more secure for your files.

wow a memory card with a wi-fi tecnology!

I have to disagree, if you look at the technical specs CF cards are capable of substantially higher speed over SD cards, (167 MBs/s for CF cards vs. 104 MBs/s for the absolute newest SD cards). Additionally CF cards are capable of larger storage capabilities over SD cards, (128 PiB (128K Terrabites) vs. 2 Terrabites for the newest SD cards). So while in your XXXD camera this is not as critical, in the XD and XXD cameras it is, due to their higher burst rates and larger megapixel count.

ACTUALLY you can technically use those CF cards as a alternative to a SSD due to the fact that they are dirt cheap right now, meaning that if you have a large enough CF card, you can use it in a modern computer for daily use. Crazy right?

Here's a size comparison to a tin of pop

This will really not work with RAW in any camera that Isn't as slow as the small canon consumer cameras. Typically a RAW file will be somewhere between 20 MB and 40 MB, depending on resolution, and that really takes forever to write to a SD card. I can only write just over two pictures per second, even though i use a fairly fast and expensive CF card.

The transfer is extremely slow and the transfer eats up your batteries... just SayN

There is no difference between CF1 and CF2 except how thick the card is and the fact CF2 used to have microdrives instead of just solid state.

its good for a casual shooting. Im a sport shooter i need 90mbs CF card 18GB on my D3.

SD cards r way way slower, the fastest SD card is 150MB, Lexar 32GB and you can get around 30 fast photos in burst mode, basically the problem is the erase and re write over refresh rate with SD cards, your better off with 95mb plus. Remind you the Canon 5d mkiii does not support those faster Sd cards too CF cards do NOT need 2 erase and re write over, its done on the fly, u get 75 burst photos before slowing down, and this is with a 30MB CF card, imagine a 95MB Lexar 32GB CF is da fastest

Oh that is cool man...

Just purchased one on eBay plus Eye Fi card on your review. I wonder if Flashair would work in the adaptor.

Do you believe that this same setup could work with Canon 5D (Mark I)? Canon 400D and 5D are from the same era so the internals/functionalities are probably very similar. Could link the specific adapter and SD card what you have?

While it is an amezing adaptor,but you got to take into account wheather it's type 1 or type 2 sd/cfcard convertor,and i really don't know wich type i should take ,BTW it will be definitaly way slower then an ordinairy cf card because of transfering & conversion process. The thing is,cf cards are 10 times faster then sd cards and with this adaptor you will never take benefit of this. It will be only great if they stop producing cf cards,but as of now cf cards are way better and not so hard to loose like sd cards!!!

I think it is confusing some people say cf card is better an sd Cards i have solvd that I bought the Nikon d800 it has two cards slots one cf and one sd so now no one can complain

Толщина адаптера слишком велика. У меня возникли проблемы с тем, чтобы установить адаптер в Nikon D700. Гнездо маленькое и адаптер не подъходит.

How is WiFi reception with this metallic shield? I am wondering, because at 2:06 one can see that the CF card cover contains a metal part, which leaves almost no free space for electromagnetic waves going in/out, because through the device is, unlikely, as this certainly contains a lot of metal, and right above the card ~70% of the cover is metallic, so only ~15% to the top left and ~15% to the top right are left for wave transmission. Sufficing in practise?

i like ur noodles

ill keep my cf, i tried this things and they are crap

How to take a Video with Canon 400d plese

Hello! Mr Bean. ; )

cup gunpla!

i've 64 gb compactflash for my canon 7 d. (((((

How do I find out if this will fit my Canon Powershot A10? I'm sick of buying CF card readers and the pins bending after a few uses and becoming useless.

hi sir I have nikon d200 . is this adapter work with my camera?

Clever phone, Smart phone, C F, icwutudidthar two times.

Not sure what knd of computer you use but does the Eye-Fi software work on Macs? My mother got one for her birthday last year but could never get the thing to work.

@harper222 grumpy? Looks like someone woke up in the wrong side of the trailer park this morning. Oh well

Help me out here..what is the chief advantage(s)???? It isn't mentioned in the video. I am using a drum machine (the akai MPC1000 sampler) that backs up to a CF card..so I wonder if that application would benefit in any way from this card-converter. Any help appreciatted. Please don't assume I know the advantages., I dont!!!

I have a samsung Pro815 and I have recently purchase a CF adopter and toshiba Flashair card but the camera say card error. What can I do then?

Having been wondering about those Wi-Fi SD-HC cards... What's the transfer speed like is 802.11 N or G class?

My 7D does not Start. CAN YOU HELP?

I want to buy this but can't find it anywhere.

Will this work with my Canon Rebel XTi? I need to be able to use the transfer to my cell-phone.

could you please help me , my Connect X2 card with the same adapter that you are using (mine is 3rd gen) doesn't work with my 7D ... do you happen to know what the reason maybe ?

I purchased the Transcend 16 Gb wifi but had to replace it 2's. The first time it worked fine but eventually the card became unreadable. I returned it to the store and they replaced it. The new one had two problems the first is that the WiFi worked well with a few files as I installed some software the card access became too slow. So i reformatted and re-installed the firmware. It worked well after but the card became unreadable when I tried internet mode, and that is what I purchased the card for for my gps..can anyone tell me what went wrong or if they had a similar problem? Also sometimes when transferring data the card becomes very hot, is that normal?

give me the link to buy this adapter.. and how to identify type 1 r type 2 supports for me

what is the camera you have in video, as far as im aware the canon 5d mark iii only acepts type 1 cf cards, as per specs on the website

Will this work with CFast 2.0 Card ports? I am looking to use with the Blackmagic Ursa.

no comparison to a tin of pop?! T^T

can this work with an ipod A1059? to replace the drive with it? 4gen, has enyone try it?

How do you connect the SD card to your WiFi network?

Okay. Even you do not have enough info. OR you gave a wrong info. Can you explain this: You said : You used this Eye-Fi (Connect X2 NOT the PRO version) to upload the RAW file!! Interesting. First: Your camera setting was on JPG+RAW. Second: Check the Eye-Fi site, Unfortunately the Connect X2 doesn't have the capability to upload the RAW files !! It can upload Only JPG via WiFi!!?? So, If you know this info, you gave a wrong info. If you don't, then you upload the JPG file not the RAW file.

Hi i got the same canon 400d and the same adaptor but on my camera it says Err CF! How did you setup your adaptor?

are you moving from your old house? cuz the background is different

Can someone fully explain to me the wifi feature??

CompactFlash??

Can we use any brand wifi sd card?

Did somebody try it with Canon 5D classic?

Great

Where can I get this cf adapter from??

i need one to transfer cf to sd

Can be used on a second generation ipod mini?

you gunpla builder too or not ?

TYPE Two too wide for my NIKON D700 5MM instead of 3.5MM

can I use this in my canon 7d.mark 1

Soo Where Can I Buy One?

can the wifi card transfer a video file to a computer as its being recorded? or can it only transfer after its recorded to the card?

Will this work with a Nikon?

what camera was that?

can it work on my canon 50D?

can it work to my canon 5d old? thanks
