I can hear people say now - 'why not just use the eye-fi in your cpA or J4'. I don't have to do a thing - it just works. It silently connects to my cell phone and sends all the jpgs over. In slot 2 I send small jpgs to it and have an eye-fi card in it.

I use slot 1 for RAWs and movie files and put a Sandisk extreme card in it. I have heard people sing the praises of the Fuji app and I heard Panasonic has a good one too.īTW - I do have a good wireless setup on my D7000 - ironically a camera Nikon never intended for this purpose. I know other manufacturers have better utilities. So, for me, the WMU is pretty much useless. It kept trying to download the previews of about 150 files (about 75 images) that I had on my camera - and it kept dropping the connection and never downloaded any previews (it restarts when it drops the connection, it does not continue). You must preview EVERYTHING on the card - you can't even filter out the RAWs or sort the files or anything. Well - the WMU gives you NO option to just preview jpgs. But I also like to have the small jpgs just in case I want to share an image while I am mobile. This is because I like to do edits with the raw files to adjust exposure, white balance etc.

And there is almost no configuration you can do to the app. I get the feeling that this app was created with the idea that no one would ever try to preview more than about 5 images at once. And before you can download any images it must go through this process to download a 'preview' of the images - which takes even longer. Well, let me tell you the Nikon WMU (wireless mobile utility) makes me wish I had never heard of wireless transfers to mobile devices. I sometimes like to share images while I am out and about rather than waiting to get back to my computer to share. I thought it would be great to use a camera that had the wireless capability built into the camera. A coolpix A (through the adapter) and a Nikon 1 J4. I recently purchased 2 cameras that have the ability to do wireless transfers.
