Wi-Fi card for K3
Now I have the K1, with integrated wireless, and while it's definitely a smoother and somewhat quicker solution, it's still a hassle compared to the old fashioned way of sd card to whatever medium. You need to switch on the wireless (don't want to keep it on all the time as it drains the battery); connect to the network; if using a new device then input the password; while at it, you are disconnected from Internet unless you are on LTE. And it still much, much slower then physically taking out the card and sticking it whenever.
That said, I have no idea if any of the software allows you to transfer directly to the cloud as I store my images on a private server; don't trust other people's computers all that much
Maybe get a second hand one, every now and then one pops up for 20 quid or so. That way, if it doesn't work, you won't mind too much
I always have another card in the K3 and only copy to the wifi card the shots that I want to send to my phone. It's extremely useful to be able to send photos to my phone while on the move.

This was a test from the garden with a Netgear Trek repeater half-way. Single test shot then a pause and then 5 quick shots all transferred quickly.

Mine's an old card and I still use the original software which is blocked from the internet.
Toshiba and Eye-Fi have now combined which I presume will allow Eye-Fi software to be used on Toshiba FlashAir Cards.

Am thinking of getting a wi-fi card for my K3 II. Has anyone any experience of these they can share? I usually upload my shots to Dropbox before editing and quite like the idea of being able to do this `on the move`. Any good brand recomendations?
