Vendors have sought to differentiate their products in the market through various vendor-specific features:
* '''Integrated [[Wi-Fi]]''' – Several companies produce SD cards with built-in Wi-Fi transceivers supporting static security (WEP 40/104/128, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK). The card lets any digital camera with an SD slot transmit captured images over a wireless network, or store the images on the card's memory until it is in range of a wireless network. Examples include: [[Eye-Fi]] / [[SanDisk Eye-Fi|SanDisk]], [[Transcend Wi-Fi]], [[Toshiba FlashAir]], [[Trek Flucard]], [[PQI Air Card]] and [[LZeal ez Share]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eye.fi/ |title=Eye-Fi |access-date=2010-08-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20100826002041/http%3A//www.eye.fi/ |archive-date=2010-08-26}}</ref> Some models [[Geotagging|geotag]] their pictures.
