Wirelessly Transfer Photos to your Computer

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m sure it’s happened to you. Especially if you’re the “official” photographer for the family outing or company party. No more than a day after, you start getting requests from people to upload the latest batch of scandalous pictures to Facebook or Multiply. But occasionally, time does not allow you to do just that and before you know it, it’s been a week or a month since that last get-together. Sometimes you feel it so inconvenient to whip out your camera’s usb cable to connect it to your PC or laptop. If you rely on a cable to link your camera and computer, there’s always the risk of losing that cable. Or if you normally remove the memory card from your camera to transfer pictures through a card reader, you could potentially lose that card.

Ok, stop it already with all that negativity and cynicism. Look at the bright side, there’s another way of getting those pics off the camera. Without any wires and at the push of a button, you can have those pictures transferred without the fuss. It’s called the Eye-Fi. The Eye-Fi looks like a standard SD Card with 4GB of memory space, but with one trick up it’s sleeve. It has a built-in WiFi capability allowing it to connect to your PC to automatically transfer your data or straight to a wireless router and onto your favorite sharing site.
