    In reply to Sanyo Xacti DXM-CG11 Pocket Camcorder Does 720p Video, May Have Built-in Eye-Fi
    It says that Eye-fi functionality is built-in.

    From the original Japanese:
    "An 'Eye-Fi' card is an SD card that contains built-in wireless LAN functionality. When using this type of card, photo data will be transferred without a cable, saving automatically to a PC. In DMX-CG11, the 'Eye-Fi' transfer function is built-in, in order to be even more convenient than a normal 'Eye-Fi card'."

    @rentahero1: Oh, and the "Eye-fi card sold separately" text only shows up because they define what the Eye-Fi card is. You don't need one. (I don't know why they felt like they needed to say this, since, well, why would someone want an Eye-Fi card if the thing has it built-in?)

    @rentahero1: It actually appears you DO need one. This camera appears to be an "Eye-Fi Conencted cam", which according to their site is:

    "Expect more - check out Eye-Fi connected cameras. Eye-Fi connected cameras are Eye-Fi smart: they know when there’s an Eye-Fi card inside, and optimize their power settings. Some Eye-Fi connected cameras even have Eye-Fi settings in their navigation, and show you when photos are being wirelessly uploaded. "

    So it has menu options for an EyeFi card, and can adjust it's power setting to accommodate it.

    @GitEmSteveDave_MakesUJump!Jump!: Ah, you, sir, are correct! Guess I should have read some more... and I made a small translation error. It should read:
    "In DMX-CG11, the 'Eye-Fi' transfer function is built-in, in order to be even more convenient than *just* a standardl 'Eye-Fi card'."
    It even mentions how it can detect Eye-fi cards and optimize power settings, just like your source. This one does have the Eye-fi settings menu, where you can enable Eye-fi, set up a wireless network, fiddle with power settings and 'display information' (not sure what that last one is for).
    Anyway, yeah, no built-in Eye-fi. Sorry.
    (That certainly would explain the "Eye-fi card sold separately" comment.)

    This might be what they are talking about...
    An Eye-Fi "connected" camera...

    I wonder how many people will get tasered or shot because some idiot (insert whatever law enforcement here) officer will mistake this for a gun?

    Isn't 40 minutes of battery time awfully short? I've been looking at upgrading my video set up but that number just leads me to believe that I'd be spending most of my time recharging the thing? Are all new mini video cams this light in the battery department?

    @ninjamurf: They might be using metric time, which is different than our own.

    I wonder if it means it nativlely supports eye-fi configuration, meaning you don't have to set it up however you set it up normally in a camera that doesn't support it.

    40 MB memory? Not that I need my pocket cam to have built in storage space, but why advertise a miniscule amount?
