WiFi SD Cards

[Jamie Kitson]

Does anyone have any experience with WiFi SD cards such as ez share, flash air or eye fi? I would really like to be able to download photos from a couple of older cameras I have direct to my Android mobile/iPad. I note one of the ez share cards has a switch to turn the WiFi feature off, which sounds useful, and they also do an adapter for micro SD cards, although I've read that the max you can go up to is only 32gb. Thanks

What is your question? I have one from EZ and it's awesome. Use it on my 20(!) Year old 1Ds Mark 2 sometimes for direct viewing.

Thanks. A recommendation is enough really. The mobile app(s) work well on modern devices?

I found this comprehensive answer to this question on Reddit. The tl;dr is that wifi SD cards can be unreliable for many different reasons and can work very differently depending on the device they are in and that SD card readers are a better option in most situations. Ergo I have bought one of these.
