Eye-Fi gets a Compact Flash adapter

media-adapters-compactflash_eye-fi_sdhc_mmc-01.jpgEye-Fi is an SD card with WiFi built-in, enabling it to upload photos to a computer or website whenever it can grab itself some bandwidth. Owners of older cameras will be pleased to see this $28 CF-to-SD adapter, claimed to be the only such device that actually works.

There are some warnings. First, it reduces the Eye-Fi's range to about 15 feet. Second, the read/write performance of the adapted card is diminished. Finally, they don't guarantee it will work for all CF-based cameras, offering only a short list of "proven" models, including Canon's EOS series, the Rebel XTi, and Nikon's D100.

You'd think they'd be able to fit an even LARGER antenna in these "special" adapters.
