New Nikon D60 camera offers Eye-Fi wireless connectivity

Eye-Fi, a company that makes SD cards with built-in wireless 802.11g/b/n connectivity, has announced that Nikon's new D60 Digital SLR camera will come out of the box with enhanced Eye-Fi capabilities.

Though this new company says the technology works seamlessly with any camera that accepts SD cards, the Nikon D60 is actually the first camera designed with Eye-Fi's wireless connectivity in mind.

The SD cards feature Static WEP 40/104/128, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK security, and have a wireless range of over 90 feet outdoors and 45 feet indoors. Once a user has set up the connection, the camera can automatically send the photo data to many photo sharing, printing, blogging, and social networking sites, automatically resizing photos according to the criteria of their destination. Photos can also be wirelessly sent to the user's computer running the Eye-Fi manager software.

Eye-Fi's technology was introduced earlier this month at CES 2008, in a joint announcement with memory card producer Lexar.
