Toshiba FlashAir 16GB WiFi SDHC Memory Card (Class 10) (accessory)

Customer Review

The FlashAir principle offers great new ways on a small scale, but fails (yet?) With larger amounts of data, especially when many images are created on the same day.

The technique How it works: The 16 GB memory card (about 14 GB of space for user data) generated within the first 5 minutes after inserting / on its own wireless network with its own SSID and password on it can be accessed wirelessly with its devices. After the one-time setup you can for example turn on the camera and viewing the pictures on the smartphone or tablet. Direct a browser can be accessed on the memory card. Who feature just do not want to use, no problem, the card can of course also as usual stuck in an SD slot and provides a Class 10 product for pleasant work fast.

Confusing and almost falls from the enclosed instructions. In a few words, however, sufficiently explained how the card is put into operation, and more importantly, how to turn the wireless mode or to turn off. It is better to download from the website the manual, as there is then in addition to a detailed German manual also diverse pictures that explain a lot. Need on the website (!) To stop by anyway, because the card needs a firmware upgrade in order to eliminate some teething problems. From version 2:00:02 the connection is much more stable!

Can be accessed through the standard Web browser or via app (iOS and Android) which is much more comfortable. In the test still show that the two options problems. The Browser (Android) shows no status bar, you never know whether is just really charged anything or not. Since the app offers, at least on a transmission beam and the option to copy the images. Browser and App leave painfully miss a preview. Tested with several Androideräten, none could view the images in a preview. Browse store, and copy the other hand usually works quickly and reliably. From time to time the connection breaks for card, despite relative proximity of 1-2 meters from - arises after a short period of time (usually 10-20 seconds) but automatically restores.
The lack of comfort you notice after long photo sessions, because there simply lack the stamina to scroll through hundreds of images. The software is in this point still great need of improvement. It is previously sorted by creation date, at least this is a start. Also, another way to turn on and off the wireless function would be highly desirable as not "protect" any camera images can. A simple slider as in the "Lock" if it were already sufficient. Technically, the card is strong. The data rates are neat: The images up to 5 MB were downloaded in 2-5 seconds, and videos can be transferred quickly.

The idea is good, the implementation requires, especially in the software but still some improvements! If the software is running properly but time FlashAir is a method that I do not want to miss.
