Originally posted by davemdsn I had not heard the Eye-Fi finally had a card compatible with the K-7. Now I know where the next bit o' camera money is going.
Yeah, the compatibility chart on Eye-Fi was mixed up for a while. It would say compatible one day and TBD the next and NO the next, then suddenly Yes again sometime later.
It is horribly expensive for an 8G card, but it helps a lot when I'm at a shoot and can show images right away.
I am no longer interrupted to help instruct my assistant how to download images from the card, and the images appear as I'm shooting rather than batch downloads that seem to take forever to complete.
I am able to keep doing my job taking photos and she can do her job selling them.
The cost doesn't seem quite so high any more. :-)
Although I'd really have prefered Pentax kept tethering. The R&D is already spent, it had to almost cost more to remove the feature than to keep it in the firmware!
Quote: The eye-fi cards cost darn good money in here. I could almost buy older second hand Canon DSLR for tethered work, at that price.
he, he, believe me, I've thought about it. Only problem, is now you need good lenses too. (And live with the guilt of buying Canon :-) )
