Wrapping Up

There are many competent SD cards in the market. For example Trancend wi-fi 32 GB SDHC card, EZshare 8GB wi-fi SDHC cards eyc which can be a fair competition to Eye-fi SD cards. But again the choice depends on the needs of the photographers. Eye-fi Mobi cards have less storage space as compared to the price. You may get other Wi-Fi Sd cards in the same price range  with more storage space but the other SD cards will have certain limitation.

If we do keep the price factor aside, as a photographer, I myself will rate Eye-fi higher than other Sd  cards due to its impressive wireless range, its ability to real time photo sharing and speed. Also its fast photo syncing, cloud storage and photo sharing capabilities makes it stand apart from other wifi SD cards.

Above all, Eye fi mobi SD cards are good in creating a back-up of photos also. So grab a DSLR or point and shoot and forget about wires or cables.  Everything can happen just instantly!
