Gotta be the first to find fault with the 1dx

I would not call it a fault. The 1Dx is not designed to work with tthat rubbish. There is a dedicated WFT-E6 for that purpose

I love my EyeFi cards. They work amazingly well in my 1D Mark III and 1DsII with transferring photos immediately to my iPhone in my pocket. What a great system. So when the WFT-E6 can do that instead of ONLY working with Canon's WFT program, let me know.

Hi Will, there is an app called Shutter Snitch which runs on the iphone and iPad and works amazingly well. the WFT-E6 can communicate directly with your idevice whether its in your pocket or back pack. I am playing around with this app now and it looks like a great solution.

Cheers

Take note I'm not slamming the 1Dx for not supporting it

Then why frame the subject line as if you are? "Eye-Fi struggles in 1D-X" or similar would be far more accurate, it seems.

A little OT but I'm curious about that...do they have self powered/rechargable download devices that can be used in the field (with both SD & CF interface)?

I've been using a HyperDrive. It's a lot cheaper than the Canon/Epson devices and it also connects to an iPad.

But, I'm not sure if they still available.

Interesting. Does it send all the photos you are taking to the ipad/iphone? Because that would be a deal breaker for me.

The sending of images is controlled by the communication settings on the camera, it can be all, or selected by using the set button, that is standard ware on the camera settings. Snitch can accept either jpg or raw or both, what ever the camera sends it.

Sorry to revive an old thread - but those of you who use Eye-fi in a 1d/1ds series body, how long range do you get from your card to your Ipad/iphone?

I find it hard to transfer files if the devices are any further than 4 feet apart.
