Eye-Fi today announced a new addition to its lineup of wireless memory cards: the Eye-Fi Pro. Priced at $149.99 for a 4GB card, the Pro is a souped-up version of the Eye-Fi Explore Video; it keeps the Wi-Fi hotspot uploading, geotagging, and JPEG and video support of the Explore but adds RAW image support and “ad hoc” transfers.
The Eye-Fi Pro has the ability to create a peer-to-peer connection between the camera and a computer–no Internet connectivity necessary. Since this ad hoc connection eliminates the need to transfer through Wi-Fi, it’s entirely possible that speeds from card to computer will be much faster. We’ll, of course, have to wait to test it out to know for sure.
