ACTUALLY... after reading Thib's last post and link regarding eye-fi, I have to say that I can see Brendans's point. I had foolishly thought they had the wifi built into the SD card itself (silly me, that was a stupid assumtion if I ever made one, embarrassing actually).
If one has to stop shooting and take the card out of the camera, and put it in a reader, then I don't find it nearly as attractive. Yes I can see that it only takes 10 seconds to put the card in a reader and put a new one in the camera. Here I thought it allowed transfer simultaneously from within the camera while continuing to shoot. Still useful but not near as whiz-bang as I thought. What would be nice is the *option* to shoot non-stop and have the camera (if you have this much trust in technology) delete images as they are sucessfully transferred so that one has a 'never full' memory card. That would require the camera to be smart enough to receive a returned sucessful/fail status from the network or receiving PC.
