Bring your own microSD cards

Though the adapter is inexpensive, you have to supply a microSD card up to 32GB for storage.

Makes its own network

Once in your camera, the card appears as a Wi-Fi network in your wireless settings. Just select it and put in the supplied password.

No apps, just a browser

There's no extra software or apps to download and install. All you need to do is open a browser window and your images appear.

Group downloads

If you download multiple images at the same time, they are compressed into one TAR file, so you'll need basic decompression software like WinZip or StuffIt to extract them.
