Pro X2 or Mobi ? Which one do I want just to transfer jpeg pictures?

Mobi is good enough for that purpose. The advantage of X2 is raw transfer and geo tagging.

Eye-Fi is ending support for the X2 line on September 9, 2015. The only thing you can do with X2 cards after that is transfer images to your computer/phone/tablet.

I have 6 cameras running Pro X2s and one Mobi card. They transfer to network and device with few problems. You can walk out of range of the receiving device and the camera will resume uploading images when you get back in range. I use a Mobi when I am wanting to transfer files to a compact mobile device such as tablet for immediate viewing. Be warned, when transferring files using these cards please be sure to have adequate battery back-up. You will use considerably more battery resources, but it is worth it. Instant backup.

I have both cards. Mobi moves everything on the card to the phone. The X2 will allow you to select the files you want to move to the phone by marking them protected with the camera. Since getting the X2 I have not used the Mobi.

Either one, works great Prox2 does both raw and jeg mobi easier to install but only loads Jpgs

I agree - in practice this works well - but - if you've got a VERY hi-res camera (D2X/D2Xs, 5D or 1DSMkII etc) you could run into the 4mb limit easily - so I shoow raw and medium quality jpeg - and all is good. Alternatively - if you're buying it SOLELY for photo storage on the move - have a look at the EPSON Photofine range (P-4000 etc) - they do just that job - but VERY well!

Marsha:I am working with Windows 7, 64 bits and works fine; however, I am a photography fan, and I got a strong frustration with the quality of the converted files. It is something like 5 Mega pixels.For that reason, I bought a 20MP converter. I will receive it next week. If you have any question, please do not hesitate in contacting me, I'll be glad to share my experiences.Best regards, Ricardo

I don't have experience with the other machine but i wouldn't get my hopes up. The F2D2 makes acceptable home copies, but won't suffice for professional uses. Hope this helps.

Up to a 32GB "MICRO" SD CLASS 10 card (not mini) works fine in mobius. I don't know why they recommend a 4, since the video quality improves greatly with a Class 10 card.

Just a normal SD Card... I bought the Wintec Filemate Professional 8GB and it worked out just fine, but any will do. Make sure it's a class 10, rate of 30 mbs or higher, for best results. And make sure you format it to the camera (which will erase any pics on it but make it run faster)

It works well if you have a steady hand and drag it slowly and squarely. If you want to copy photos in the best way, I would recommend the Brother DS-620. Fantastic on photos.

Hi - video importing doesn't work for me. I'm using Win 7 pro....not home premium. I'm using the latest version of PMB (5.2), it simply does not recognize the camera connection at all. I've tried connecting it to 2 computers and used different USB ports. I'm out of ideas.

Microsoft has photo and video software that works great and it's free. I believe it is called Microsoft live.

I used the 8gb. The mobi transfers JPEGs. I transferred mine to Photostream with no problem. I would think that anywhere you can send a JPEG will take a transfer from your phone/tablet.

The PIC Pro is the one to buy. Better features for the money and works great. Buy from Amazon and not the PIC website. You won't have to pay $300 for shipping on the "free stuff".

As far as I know it will transfer RAW files but will not display them (it will transfer any files off the card.) A workaround is to shoot RAW+JPEG; it will then display the JPEGs. There is a maximum size of 4mb; it will transfer photos above this size but won't be able to display them. I have displayed images up to 12.8 megapixels (Canon 5D) on it (photos were under 4mb.)

Those cards should be fast enough. RAW+jpeg might slow it down a little. Another reason you may be getting a BUSY message is if the camera's flash is charging up.

I just ordered this camera and plan to try using the photo software that came with my EOS Rebel XS. It's not bad, but actually the only thing I use it for is transferring images from the memory card to my computer's hard drive. I've gone this route ever since Vista destroyed another of my digicams' memory card, losing hundreds of images. I don't like Vista. So anyway, I still prefer using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for editing tasks.

Yes it will! Your Camera will take CF1 and CF2 cards! This adapter is a CF2 and the Only One available for the Mobi WiFi Card and it works Perfectly! The Mobi WiFi Card will work alone in any Camera that supports SDHC Storage! Have fun with it! It is easy to use and You will Enjoy!

I COPY the pics I want into a separate file on my PC, then copy those files to whatever Storage card I'm going to use (it has a 5 in 1 Card Reader - SD/MS/MS-PRO/MMC/XD.) Set the DPF to read from the card instead of its storage system - you can watch them individually or set it up as a slideshow with enhancements. Or, use a usb cord and move your pics back and forth to/from your PC, yours might work with wifi...
