Like Batman with Robin or Noel Fielding with the other one out of The Mighty Boosh, gadgets can get by fine on their own, but can be greatly enhanced by the right sidekick. The Eye-Fi X2 memory card deserves to win this category because it’s got not one but two tricks up its sleeve, combining core functionality – saving data, as an SDHC card – with built-in N Wi-Fi that allows near-instant, wireless transfer of your camera’s pics, including RAW images. Given the price of many Wi-Fi enabled cameras, it’s also a nifty money saver. An essential accessory.

Boasting the ability to hold up to 4,000 photos or 3 hours of video content, the Pro X2 card hooks directly up to your Wi-Fi network through its incorporated 802.11n wireless technology with RAW photos able to be uploaded directly to any of your PC’s folders, directly to iPhoto or sent to your iPhone.

Removing much of the hassle and cable finding out of transferring snaps from the digital camera to the computer, Eye-Fi’s inspiring SD card can be set to automatically wirelessly backup your card’s shots to a PC folder of your desire ensuring images aren’t accidentally erased and lost forever.

With further features including the selection of individual images for transfer and the optional geotagging of all snaps, Eye-Fi’s Pro X2 SD card offers a feast of connectivity options for photographers.
