I used a USB2 card reader for long time with no problems. I use now a USB3 card reader - excellent!

(My D700 takes only type I Compact Flash cards. Eye-Fi cards are SD. There are SD to CF adapters, but I haven't found any for full-size SD that are Type I; they're all the thicker Type II, like microdrives were, and the D700 doesn't take those. Of course with more modern cameras even the pro models sometimes take SD cards, so this wouldn't be a problem.) > > I use them in my EVIL (that's "Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens") camera, though. When paired to a hot-spot on my phone, I can then have images I "protect" on the camera appear nearly instantly on my Facebook or Flickr page.

You can establish an ad-hoc wifi network to your laptop, without using any access point, and have everything transferred there. It's not wildly fast though. > > I've heard reports from people doing things like teams of photographers covering a youth sports tournament professionally setting up their own wifi network and feeding everything live back to their servers and selling prints from workstations set up for the parents to use even as the games were still in progress. Sounds like a cool infrastructure build problem, at least (computers being my profession). > > -- > David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ > Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ > Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ > Dragaera: http://dragaera.info >
