I bet you could sell more Eye-Fi's if there were an easy way to upload new firmware to the card. It's a fundamentally interesting product but I think you could get a lot more creative uses for it from opening it up more to your customers.
- MartinCron 17y agoYou could also sell more Eye-Fis if they supported CompactFlash in addition to SD. I thought I could use an SD to CF converter, but they are apparently pretty dodgy. I'm shocked that there isn't a way to wirelessly send pictures to a tablet PC for instant studio proofing with a DSLR that saves to CompactFlash, but there doesn't seem to be.
- dotBen 17y agoYes, rogupta - to Martin's point here... if EyeFi is in your portfolio then I would urge you to push for CF version... I only use pro camera gear which doesn't take SD. I've talked to the EyeFi guys about this but it seems to fall onto deaf ears. I also agree that there should be an open platform option for these -- you could sell a ton of these if people could use them for their own uses that go beyond the original concept of uploading to the internet.
- rogupta 17y agothanks for the feedback.
- ggruschow 17y agoNikon, Canon, and others allow tethered shooting and sell gadgets to replace the wire with radios. Search for wireless tethering. There's often cheap alternatives too.. e.g. http://petetek.blogspot.com/2009/05/50-wireless-tethering-solution.html http://petetek.blogspot.com/2009/05/50-wireless-tethering-so...
