    I don't trust on online storage...
    But the eye-fi is tempting.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Edited semi angry post about usefulness of MobileMe for people like me. Reeeeeeetracted cause it wasn't necessary and was mainly referring to it against the usefulness of the card, and not the storage space combo as a whole (which is still different, but still more useful together than the card itself).

    I will soon be stashing stuff all over the net in free storage so I can move into a new computer and then redownload it all back onto the new one. I know that isnt efficient, but its free. :)

    @Curves: What are you using? I've got one of the free Dropbox accounts and it's pretty awesome but I only have 2GB of space. I was stoked when I heard about Goggle dropping their prices on storage before I found out it's just used as an add on to gmail and picasa accounts. Have you looked into any of the other services? How do they stack up?

    @ninjamurf: I have limited free storage at Google, MSN and Yahoo, all of which I keep e mail accounts at, as well as a pay photo site that can store a lot of pics, and a lot of them are still on the card in the camera. I am re-thinking this, though, and considering a portable hard drive, since I am finding myself on the move a lot more lately between 2 or 3 work computers and 2 or 3 at home. I have never had any problems with the on line storage though, and have a lot of "stuff" stashed here and there.

    @shooga: Because with my 400mm zoom I'm getting way better blackmail details. For instance, not only am I getting a photo of a guy using his smartphone to attempt to blackmail someone, but I also saw the site he uploaded to and the number he dialed afterward. So now I can blackmail the blackmailer and head off his intended victim by getting them to pay me to prevent him from blackmailing them by paying me to blackmail him. Win! #eyefiftp

    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.)

    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?

    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.

    I have an EyeFi Explore card (used in my Panasonic TZ3 and MacBook Pro) and there aren't any monthly fees for geotagging or uploading to Flikr. Did there used to be?

    Also, there was already a native Mac application AND an iPhone app for owners to use as well.
