Nikon D60 enhanced for Eye-Fi

The new Nikon D60 we mentioned earlier this week has been getting a lukewarm reception by the online community who feel it’s not a big enough step from the D40x – but I think they’ve missed the point of the camera a little bit. Regardless of that, there’s another “feature” that will exist in the camera which hasn’t been publicized much. The D60 will apparently be “enhanced for Eye-Fi”.

Eye-Fi is the wireless SD card adapter that gives your camera WiFi capability. According to this Gizmodo article, the D60 will “automatically adjust its power timer settings to ensure that photos upload effortlessly for sharing and storing.”

Eye-Fi is getting a big break in this way, since bulkier wireless transfer technology is generally quite expensive by comparison. They’ve even got a photo sharing agreement with Nikon’s My Picturetown service.

I would expect that more manufacturer’s will start jumping on board soon, but if you’ve had any experiences with Eye-Fi, let us know in the comments.
