Eye Fi for K500

Wortle · 06-22-2015, 03:50 AM

Hi, i'm looking for an eye fi card for my K500, and as I only want it for transferring pics I didn't want the flucard. But I am unsure whether the Transcend 32GB Wi-Fi SDHC is compatable, it lists the K-5 but I am unsure whether it means just that model or the series. Failing that I was looking at the Eye-Fi Pro X2 16GB Wireless SDHC. Does anyone have a K500 and eye fi card they would recommend? thnx

K-500 Manual page 7 or 9 in the pdf contains a section of Eye-Fi cards so an Eye-Fi card should work. I have no clue about those transcend cards...

The tethering feature of the flucard won't work anyway. I would recommend researching which wi-fi card has an app that suits your needs, then take it from there. The K-500 does offer some native support for Eye-FI cards specifically, but any wireless card will work.
