My SD card has magical powers.

Let me begin by telling you that, despite begging and pleading with a PR person, I had to buy this product myself. It’s like I’m just a normal consumer or something, which is ridiculous. Seriously.
ANYway, after BlogHer, I heard a few people talking about Eye-Fi cards. Apparently, some people got some SD cards for their digital cameras that automatically uploaded your pictures to your computer. Or the Internet. Or something.
I take way more pictures than I share and am perfectly adept at getting them off my camera and on to my computer and up on the Internet if I want, so I thought nothing of it at the time.
And then Nikon invited me to join their “COOLPIX Circle” – which meant they were going to loan me a camera and I had to upload pictures to their COOLPIX circle Flickr group from time to time. And I, um, forgot. A lot. Like, for weeks and weeks and weeks I would get a new email with the weekly “prompt” and think “crap! I didn’t add anything to the group for last week’s prompt!” I was kind of starting to feel bad, what with the $200+ camera I was getting to use for free and all.
And then (longest product review intro ever) I saw one of CityMama‘s pictures in the group, and saw that she’d tagged it as being “effortless uploaded by Eye-Fi.”
I decided I had to have one.
Point and Shoot Camera – Casio Exilim EX-FC100

Point and Shoot Camera from Casio
Full disclosure:
I did not buy a new point and shoot camera recently.
I have a Nikon Coolpix digital point and shoot that I carry in my purse and a Nikon D50 that I haul out when I actually care how the pictures turn out. I love both of them and am extremely happy with the way they do their respective jobs.
However, a friend of mine recently was searching for a digital camera that was more compact than his existing point and shoot. A friend of his recommended the Casio Exilim.
He bought it. I played with it.
That’s the best kind of shopping (or at least it will be when I convince him to give it to me).
The specific camera we’re looking at is a Casio Exilim EX-FC100.
