Nice find Ted, interesting...
Good for you folks down there, but very limited up here. Heck we have days that the mail doesn't even fly. :woot:

But I'd like to know how it works for you, keep us posted! :)

I have a bit more research to do yet.
The Eye-fi is currently SD only. There are SD/CF adapters but they don't all work with Eye-fi and camera brand to brand compatibility of the adapters is sketchy and undocumented. Also, the Nikon and Finepix hardware/firmware are completely different. For example, the Nikon USB wifi grip for the D200 won't work on the S5 at all, even though it'll mount and plug right in as if it were built for the S5. This means that any groundwork already done by Nikoniacks is inaplicable to FinePix users. Probably since the S5 (the whole series really) was kind of an esoteric DSLR to begin with, not many people have attempted wifi if any. I may very well be the first.....Hope not!
If the Eye-fi does work with the S5 Pro using an SD to CF adapter, it would mean the option to add the wi-fi capability that FujiFilm had promised and subsequently reneged upon before the launch of the S5 model.....for under $200 bucks!
This technology is not backward compatible with the S2 Pros FAT16 format. That's really too bad. The S2 would be almost fieldable again with wi-fi.

There's a broken YouTube code down there. I'll keep trying.

Cool. It needs a fast CPU, fast Video, recommends 8 GB of ram, Photoshop CS5 in 64bit mode, ... getting the camera is the easy part.
