Eye-Fi, which makes the combined 2Gig SD memory card and WiFi adapter, today announced that it collaborated with Nikon on firmware in Nikon’s new D60, digital SLR. Eye-Fi will also add Nikon’s “my Picturetown” online site as a destination for photosharing.
Nikon’s D60 digital SLR will make it easier for photographers to wirelessly upload images using the Eye-Fi Card because the camera will automatically detect when an Eye-Fi Card is inserted and adjust its power timer settings automatically to ensure that battery power is efficiently used.
Beginning this Spring, Eye-Fi will also offer users access to “my Picturetown,” Nikon’s online digital photo storage and sharing service. With the addition of my Picturetown, users will be able to upload photos to one of 20 online photo sharing, printing, social networking and blogging sites.
Other Nikon COOLPIX cameras, such as the S50c and S51c also offer direct connection to Nikon’s photosharing service. The D-60 will be available in stores in February 2008 for $750 which includes the camera body and a 18-55mm lens with Nikon’s Vibration Reduction optical image stabilization.
