The card can send your images to any photo sharing site, or right to your laptop at the wedding. My thought is to continue shooting RAW and small jpg, have the JPG's go to the SD card in the Mark II, and they'll be sent wirelessly to my laptop so I can quickly add them to the slideshow at the reception.Does anyone happen to have one yet? Any reviews or comments you've found helpful?
Here is a snippet of their press release and link. I'm going to wait a week and see what people say about it before picking one up, but for $99, you can't hardly go wrong it seems.
