Just bought a refurbed Canon, question about SD cards

[thestrangebrew1]

Just got a T5i 18-55mm and 55-250mm lense kit and was looking at getting some accessories, including a SD card. I was looking at a few of those cards that have wifi on them and was wondering if anyone's ever used these before? What is your experience with them? Gimmick? Work well? Any particular brand you'd recommend? Thanks.

I've used two variations of the Eye-Fi's - the first gen would could sync with my PC when I walked in the door.

My newer one simply pushes to my phone.

The first gen fell apart.

The second gen seems more durable.

They work well, if a bit slow.

Be sure what you actually will use the WiFi functionality before investing in one.

If you are looking for a "plain" SD card, I have tested a few

I really just wanted the pics pushed to my phone. When I get home, Google will sync my photos to it's cloud. I'll look into Eye-Fi products. Thanks!
