Those on here from Eye-fi: Any info on why the K7 is not compatible?
I am extremely disappointed! (probably not much you can do about it, but will probably have to switch camera brands due to lack of tethering options)
Anyone planning to order and give it a try anyway?
I have an Eye-Fi Pro (not the new Pro X2).
I was a beta tester for the Pro. I have used it on both a K10D and a K-7. I took about 1000 shots with the K10D and Eye-Fi Pro, and never experienced a corrupt image. With the K-7, occasionally (perhaps every 100 shots) the image will be corrupted on the card. If you preview the image on the K-7 it will say it's corrupt, but if you don't preview it you won't know until you try to view it on the computer. So I only use the Eye-Fi when I'm in a situation where I can check the image and re-shoot if necessary.
Occasionally I've had to power the camera off and on to get the images to start transmitting over wi-fi. Usually it works just fine.
I mentioned in the review that it was a hassle to change the K10D power saving options. The K-7 is much better: the power settings menu is easier to get to, and it's possible to set it to never automatically power off. So from this standpoint the K-7 works better than the K10D.
The Eye-Fi Pro is 802.11g. Transmitting a K10D raw file takes about 20 seconds. A K-7 raw file takes 5 or 10 seconds longer. I never tried video with this card and the K-7 - I doubt it would be very successful given that it's a relatively slow card (slower than my Sandisk Ultra II) and many K-7 users have had trouble with video and slow SDHC cards.
I use the Eye-Fi Pro as a tethered solution for the K-7. It works OK given that I know its limitations.
The Eye-Fi Pro X2 has the potential of being a better solution - faster 802.11n, class 6 speed, larger capacity. Hopefully it ends up being fully compatible with the K-7 and K-x.
