Yes, that's what I did. RAW+, Quality: 1-2 stars. Size 2 Mpix. The file size is about 500Kb. I set the Eye-Fi to only transfer JPEGs and not RAW files. The previews show up on screen in 5-10 seconds or so. There are some random latencies caused by whatever polling period the Eye-Fi software uses and the fact I was using a sluggish old PowerBook. It's probably faster on an iPad. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
