Stolen!

I had one of these fantastic HD pocket cams (much better than the older HD flip) but some swine stole it from me. Not only that, but it had an eye-fi card in it. Oof!

Hope you didn't have any irreplaceable videos on there. My Sony CX7 was stolen right after my wedding, with some of the wedding and reception videos on it. I just got a Kodak Zx1 and it's not too bad. Cheaper than a brand new Zi6 also. Hope you either find your camera or get a newer, better one (win-win)

Ouch! That's terrible that you lost your Zi6. Did you accidentally leave it behind somewhere and someone swiped it, or did someone snatch it physically from you? Either way, that's a bummer. While having a small camcorder/camera is sure handy to carry around, it does make it much easier to lose them as a result.

I've been meaning to get an Eye-Fi card for a long while now. Just need some spare funds to grab one.

Yeah, that's exactly what I did -- at the plaza inside the Trump building in Manhattan, just over the road from Sony HQ.

Wow, that's a bummer!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

That said... I'm curious, how well did the eye-fi card actually work with it?

I just picked up a replacement -- it's $100 at Best Buy right now. However, you have to take the pink one ... and it's not even a nice pink.

The eye-fi card worked perfectly! I don't know if it uploaded video, but it got the JPGs just fine. I think newer Eye-Fies do it all, though.

I picked this up on woot for a 69 buck referb, well worth it. Puts my standard def Flip to shame, was going to pick up the zi8 but was too good a deal for me to pass up.
