mcmanamey Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 <p>Eye-Fi cards.<br /> <br />Problem - as far as I know, they are still only making SD cards. If they've added compact flash to their product line, I am unaware of it. They are easily found at Best Buy.<br />If they have CF, spend the money and go w/ the Eye-Fi "pro." MUCH faster transfer rate & the ability to send RAW files, not just JPG.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmeyer Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 <p>Since you're printing, you'll just need the JPGs, and you should size them (in camera) for your needs, no larger. For this reason, I use a camera with two card slots, one for jpg, one for raw... Every wifi transfer system I've used chokes at the speed I work this type of job. I hand cards (I have dozens) to an assistant that hand delivers them to the laptop/printer. Wifi is too unreliable to risk losing a bunch of portraits, or delaying them so the client is unhappy... t<br /><br />I'd love to talk with you about this type of work (off line), especially if you've discovered some way to dependably transmit jpgs over a hotel's wifi, or set up your own (consistently robust) ad hoc network that a camera will actually stay connected to... I've found they tend to stray to other networks, which leaves the supposedly receiving computer in the dark. <br /><br />Nikon? or Canon?</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
