The Eye-Fi Pro is a new wireless SDHC memory card for digital cameras that allows users to automatically upload images straight from their camera to their computer and the Web. The Eye-Fi Pro includes RAW image support and peer-to-peer connectivity for a direct connection between the camera and a computer.

Also announced from Eye-Fi, is a new feature, Selective Transfer. It will give users more control over which photos and videos to upload. Using the standard "protect" or "lock" feature in any camera's menu, users can select which files to wirelessly upload. Any "protected" photo or video will automatically be uploaded, and all photos and videos will remain on the memory card until the user manually deletes them. Selective Transfer is free and available now for all Eye-Fi card users through the Eye-Fi Manager.

The Eye-Fi Pro is available now for $149 at Amazon or their website – www.eye.fi. All other Eye-Fi products are available at www.eye.fi, Best Buy, Apple Stores and other online e-tailers for $49 - $149.

Panasonic is launching new, Class 10 rated, SDHC cards next month in the UK; we should see these cards in the U.S. shortly after that. These cards will be offered in 4, 8, 16 and 32GBs and should have a maximum speed of 22MB/sec. These SDHC cards, dubbed as the Panasonic Gold Series, will be the first ones in the world to achieve a Class 10 rating. The Gold series will allow users to record HD video with the DSLR cameras much more easily, due to the higher transfer rates the cards offer.

Panasonic is also releasing a Silver series with a Class 4 speed specification and maximum speed of up to 20MB/s. Currently, there is no information on a price for any of these cards. Get the full press release here.

The new camcorders on the market that shoot 16:9 ratio 1080p footage are nice. Real nice when you see the quality content you can produce. Most of these cameras have editing software built right in, and you can edit your footage right there on the spot. I highly recommend that you have a quality memory card in your camcorder. There is not a better memory card company and memory card manufacturer than Kingston Technology Company. Their SDHC video cards are available in 60 minute (4GB) MSRP $20, 120 minute (8GB) MSRP $36, and 240 minute (16GB) MSRP $76 capacities.
