Tested with Nikkon D100 and Eyefi

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2016

Verified Purchase

I purchased this Eyefi in combination with Eyefi Mobi 8GB SDHC Class 10 Wi-Fi Memory Card with 90-day Eyefi Cloud Service, Frustration Free Packaging (MOBI-8-FF) to use in my old Nikkon D100. I recently reviewed this card, and I copy the review here since it might be useful. If you do not have time to read a long, useless post and just want to know hot to make it work, skip directly to the summary.

--------------

I found the Compact Flash Adapter and Eye-fi while looking for a solution to transfer my ancient Nikkon D100 (Compact Flash) pictures to my smartphone during trips. At the end, what is the point to taking these awesome pictures if I cannot brag about them real-time in Facebook? I was not sure if it would work, but I decided to take a leap of faith and I purchased both Eye-fi and adapter. Did it work? If you are patient enough to read this review you might get an answer (or you can just skip to the summary at the bottom).

For those that are not familiar, the Eyefi is an SD card that transmits the pictures from your camera to your phone by using Wi-fi (not your home wifi, but a Wi-fi generated by the Eyefi SD card itself). Your phone will connect to that SD card Wi-fi and copy the pictures. Now you can view them in your phone and email them, post them, etc. In theory, every time you take a picture the Eyefi will transparently setup the Wi-fi and transfer it to the phone, or so I understood.

Of course, at first it did not work. Every time I took a picture, nothing happened in the phone. If I took many pictures in a row, I could see the phone connecting to the Wi-fi for a few seconds, just to lose the connection. It was only after a while that I realized - the power for the Wi-fi has to come from somewhere! Everytime the Nikkon takes a picture, it powers the Eyefi for a few seconds, but then turns it off. There is a green light that shows you when the card is being powered. I am so smart! (Although if I had been smarter, I would have just read the first review in Amazon, which explains this).

Disappointed and angry, I took my hammer to crush the card, but then I had an idea. I tried to take multiple pictures and then, swift as lightning, entered the D100 menu and set it up in slideshow. And voila! All my pictures were transferred to the phone. Why? Because the slideshow has to READ from the card, and that powers it. If the interval at which the slides show is short enough, you can manage not to lose the Wifi.

I now go to trips and safely take pictures with my camera. Whenever I have a break, I just leave it next to my smartphone and put it in slideshow, and then check the pictures a while later. Yeah, the range of the Wi-fi is really short, but that just gives some time for my Nikkon and my Samsung to socialize for a while.

Summary: You can get the Eye-fi to work with the Nikkon D100 following these steps:
1. Set up the Nikkon camera slideshow to an interval of 2 seconds
2. Place your smartphone next to the Nikkon with Eye-fi setup (I normally select the "Import" option at this time)
3. Take a picture with the Nikkon. This will startup the Wifi.
4. IMMEDIATLY, hit Menu in the Nikkon and select the slide show.
5. Place the camera next to the phone and let the slideshow run. If it finishes, restart the slideshow (or if you missed that and the wifi has shut down, take a new picture and put the slide show again)
6. After a while, all the pictures will be available in your Eyefi folder in the smartphone

I hope this helps!

Works as advertised, but is slow, especially on writes

Only three stars because of the (lack of) speed and because the first unit I received was DOA. I returned it and ordered a new one. Still waiting for my refund, will update this review if I don't get it.

The second unit I received worked fine on the first try. It seemed slower than expected though, so I did some testing. I also bought a Transcend SDHC 16 GB Class 10 card at the same time, and used that for these tests. I'm comparing the Transcend SDHC card mounted in the SD/SDHC/MMC to CF adapter to a SanDisk Extreme III 8 GB CF card.

In my camera, a Nikon D200, when shooting RAW continuous at 3 images per second to the SDHC card in the adapter, the camera's buffer would empty as fast as the images were taken, i.e. immediately. When the buffer was empty, the camera would shoot another image every 2-3 seconds. When I switched back to my CF card, it would almost be able to keep up with the buffer and I was able to get more than twice the amount of images shot at 3/second. When the buffer finally emptied, the camera would shoot a new image about every half second.

Next I performed some tests on reading the cards in my MacBook Air (late 2010, 2.13 GHz, 4 GB with 256 GB SSD). With the exact same 674 MB worth of images on the cards, I copied them to my Mac's SSD drive using the command line 'cp -R' command, in combination with the 'time' command. I flushed and filled the operating system cache with other files in between each copy.

Reading from the SDHC card mounted in the SDHC to CF adapter, inserted into the CF slot of a Kingston USB 2.0 external card reader: 1m18.139s
Reading from the SDHC card inserted directly into the SD slot of the Kingston USB 2.0 external card reader (so eliminating the SDHC to CF adapter): 0m38.280s
Reading from the SDHC card inserted directly into the internal SD Card reader in my MacBook Air: 0m39.090s
Reading from the CF card inserted directly into the CF slot of the Kingston USB 2.0 external card reader: 0m36.695s

Next I performed write tests, all from my Mac's SSD drive using the 'cp -R' command and flushing/filling cache.

Writing to the SDHC card mounted in the SDHC to CF adapter, inserted into the CF slot of a Kingston USB 2.0 external card reader: 3m24.019s
Writing to the SDHC card inserted directly into the SD slot of the Kingston USB 2.0 external card reader (so eliminating the SDHC to CF adapter): 1m0.979s
Writing to the SDHC card inserted directly into the internal SD Card reader in my MacBook Air: 0m58.174s
Writing to the CF card inserted directly into the CF slot of the Kingston USB 2.0 external card reader: 0m59.106s

Note: I only performed one count of each test, so please draw your own conclusions. My take: It works as advertised, but it's not much use if you need the speed of a Class 10 SDHC card. I would also imagine that the long write times will put an extra drain on my camera's battery.

I'm actually surprised and delighted about how well this works

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2019

I shoot a 5D Mk II with no immediate plans to upgrade. I use it for both still and video work, and have been pretty happy with my pair of 64GB Lexar CF cards. But honestly, this camera is the only device I still have that uses CF instead of SD cards. I searched for an adapter that would allow me to use SD cards in the CF slot and found this one with pretty good reviews.

Most of the negative reviews I saw were about how Eye-Fi or other wireless transfer type stuff didn't work. I don't care about wireless transfer at all, so I haven't even tried that feature.

A couple of reviews mentioned that it was too thick to fit into their CF card slot. As long as you know whether your card slot is CF type I or type II, you should be ready to make an informed decision on whether this adapter will work for you. I will say in my 5D Mk II, it is only slightly more tight than my regular CF cards, and I have had no issues whatsoever with getting it in and out, let alone bent pins or anything like that.

Data transfer seems to be as fast as I would expect from the SD cards I'm using. It does appear that the Class 10 SD cards I use are the limiting factor for speed, not the adapter. It will keep up with 1080p30 video capture on my 5D Mk II, at least for the duration of the shots I take, which are rarely more than a few minutes long. I suspect the buffer for video or shooting burst RAW photos would be smaller with this than an actual high speed CF card, but again, that's a limitation of SD cards, not necessarily this adapter.

I'm thrilled with the purchase, and I love that I can now travel without a CF card reader, since my laptop has a built-in SD card slot.
