5-0 out of 5 stars Good quality memory.
I got this for my Fuji S7000 simply because it comes with a very handy holder for six clips of memory, as compared with Fuji’s own branded option This now lets me take eighty-four shots at the 6 MP size, which is a welcome improvement over the ten allowed with the 16 MB clip that came with the camera.

This is a lot of memory for very few dollars,in comparison to only a couple of years ago, when 8 MB cost about as much as this. How times change.

5-0 out of 5 stars a good one
it is a good one...i can now take 200+ pictures of high resolution without any problems. it' worth!!! :-)

5-0 out of 5 stars Cheaper than Ebay
I almost bought this item on Ebay from one of those sellers that jack up the shipping costs to compensate for the low cost ot the item.One person out bids you and then your up the creek.This item is cheaper from amazon with the free shipping and you have a reliable known vendor your buying from.Don't be fooled by Ebay...

5-0 out of 5 stars Best price going!!!
After looking around, this is by far the best price on a new 128 xD card!And with free shipping that makes it even better!Thanks Amazon!

5-0 out of 5 stars Quick Ship, highly Recommended
As this is the only kind of card my Olympus camera would use, so i cant say much abt its performance as compared to other card. But it is a very good memory card and always recommended for use. Got the best deal for it and it was quickly shipped to me. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars best ive had
these are the best headphones i have ever owned, the sound is incredible, and although they do get a bit tireding and a bit hot they are still worth it, love the extra extra long cable and the cable winder thing.blocks out a lot of noise and keeps what ur listening to from leaking out.the price is very nice also :D

5-0 out of 5 stars Sennheiser HD202
These headphones represent the best money I have spent on music in the past 12 month - and I buy CD's every week. I have always used earbuds and thought they sounded good - what a mistake - its like the difference between dipping your toe in a muddy puddle and swimming in the Ocean - The sound quality of these babies are nothing short of stunning. I can now hear things in my music that I could never hear before. The bass response is awesome with warm mids and sweet but solid highs.

I paid $50 AUS on Ebay for these brand new - less than some of the less reliable asian brands and if I lost them today, I would go right out and buy another pair.

The reason I chose Sennheiser is their reputation amongst professional Sound Engineers, DJ's and Audiophiles - they have always been a little out of my league price wise until I found these. .

5-0 out of 5 stars Are these $20 headphones?
After reading several reviews, I did something I usually don't do - I ordered a pair of these headphones without listening to them first. I have ordered earphones (the expensive in your ear kind) and was disappointed in both cases. I returned each of them. But these babies are just what I was looking for. I use them with my iPod. I also have a pair of the very expensive Sennheiser HD600 headphones, and while they are more open and more accurate (for 22 times the price they should be!!); I was very surprised how great these sound. When I got these, I thought the earpiece seemed a bit small, but they covered the ear fully, and after using them for a while, I didn't even notice that. I have a very large head, and I have not felt that these are tight at all; in fact I have worn them for several hours, with no discomfort at all. They are very light-weight too!! I have trusted the Sennheiser name for years, and these continue to enforce with me that the trust I have in the Sennheiser name is not unfounded. If you want a pair of headphones that has strong, clean bass, and great sounding mids and highs - get these babies!! You will not be disappointed!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Extremely Pleased
I haven't owned a pair of over ear headphones in years and decided to buy these mainly to be able to listen to the DVD audio a comfortable distance from the audio receiver and I didn't want to spend a lot of money.The sound is excellent with all types of music, having listened to everything from Brian Wilson to James Brown to Buddy Rich on them.The headphones are well constructed, lightweight and comfortable.

5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome Headphones!
I've read some of these reviews saying they're not very comfortable, etc...but I must have the perfect ear size for them or something.These things are still as nice as two pillows after 4 hours and they sound unbelievable...hell for $20 how can you go wrong?!?

Get these headphones today, you will not be sorry.Sennheiser is a great name, and this is a great product! ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars WARNING
I had no problems burning to these discs, its when I went back a few months later to these discs and found out that none of them work anymore. After further research I found out that Memorex uses the cheapest dye available and thus the DVDs have absolutelly no life to them, my discs started dying after a few months.
In addition, in you physically hold the disc in your hands you can feel how warped physically it has become. This is true for all the discs (about 150 of them). I CAN NOT NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT STRONLY ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars If you have an older player get4x
The job I worked at until recently this year had lots of problems with people returning media. I researched this and found that unless your drive is an enternal computer dvd burner, or you have a brand new top of the line TV set top DVD recorder you can't use 8x speed disks end of discussion. so if you are looking for blank disks for a DVD burner you have hooked up to your TV most likely you should not buy these. However These are the only disks I have been able to get to work with my enternal Sony 16x dvd/cd burner. That is if I want them to play in my panasonic surround sound.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great product
All the dvds i burned on these disc were great. I used DVD-R and DVD+R by memorex. I had the same problems as the person below where the disc would burn perfectly but it wouldnt play anywhere. Its not the discs' fault, Did you check the compatibilty of the disc to the player? I hadnt updated my FIRMWARE and the dvds were not playable anywhere, it showed a succesful burn but would not play. AFter I learned that I had to update my firmware The dvds I burned were just fine.

5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect!!
I don't know what the other peoples problems were.I have only been using Memorex for the past 6 months, and I rarely, and I mean rarely, have one fail on me.If I do, it is usually because I am trying to do to much with my computer while burning.I have a NEC 3500 and a NEC 2500 and both burn the disks with NO PROBLEMS!Playback is great!If you have an older dvd player then you could experience problems with playback, but not on the newer players.I'm guessing that other people are having "user errors".That's the only thing that I can come up with.
My advice, buy these disks.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very good reliability

Does this work with the Olympus xD 1GB Card?My old xD Reader does not work with the 1GB card and I have to use the USB cable directly hooked between the camera and computer.

5-0 out of 5 stars AMUST HAVE!!!!
This Fuji USB Drive Reader is a must have if you use XD picture cards for your digital camera. I couldn't believe how simple it was to use.With XP OS just plug it in and click away!!!Awesome!!!The XD Drive Reader comes with a strap,short cable and the container is well design.I love it and I highly recommend this little card reader.

4-0 out of 5 stars Love it..
I do love this little piece of convenience. Easy/fast/compact.. I also have a gripe with the fact that the cover piece doesn't stay on very well.I keep mine in a location with little worry for dust or grime- so no real issues for me! But it is the only drawback I really see. Makes a great conversation piece with its clear body- my friends love to comment on it.. they think I'm so high tech :]

5-0 out of 5 stars Lovin' It
I am really loving this little device!

I already have a flash drive so I know of the ease and flexibility they provide.

This device is extremely easy to use.

Remove the over-all cap
Slide up the little latch
Put in your XD Photo Card
Close the latch
Plug into a USB port

Windows XP should recognize it immediately.

This is great for being away from home and your computer to camera connection.You can use it on any computer running Microsoft XP, 98, ME (have to download a driver for 98 and ME).

It also comes with a HUGE strap (longer than my camera's lol) and a USB extension cable, just incase you've only got an open port behind the computer or something.

Very flexible, easy to use, and functional!

4-0 out of 5 stars Great little device!!
This reader works exactly as described. I use it with my Olympus camera 256 mb xD card. The only complaint I have matches the other reviewer - the cap does not fit well. I also would not carry it in my pocket but it stays in my bag with the camera and I can use it anywhere there is a computer with a USB connection. Since my camera is always with me, having the reader instead of a cord works great! I highly recommend this device. ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Not bad.
    Decent construction.A little flimsy.No extra pockets, liner notes holders, but does the job.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great Size
    I totally love this Cd Wallet- it is not too big and not too small. The construction of this piece is very sturdy. I've owned this for a while now and it still looks new. The color is a classic, the only problem I have with it is that the CD pockets are very flimsy other than that the exterior of this piece is unbelievable. I love it!!! I actually bought another one, oh another note do be careful because the if you don't handle the zipper with care it tends to get caught. But nothing major :)

    4-0 out of 5 stars 4, almost 5 stars!
    This is most definatley a great product.I have owned an old CDW-64 holder and I bought a new one about a year ago the same style as this CDW-128.Both are extremley sturdy and have held up quite well even with the abuse I put them through.I just bought this product and find it equal to the quality of those.While padding could be a little better to prevent CD scratching, it comes as close to perfect as possible and is definatley a great buy.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great, but be careful-they tear
    This is one great price, if your looking for a case get it!
    Don't be throwing this around or letting it be in a car where your feet go-it can rip.
    Overall it's great quality, keeps cd's clean, good looks, durable-highly reccommend.!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Case Logic Cd Wallet is great

    5-0 out of 5 stars Versatile and Quality Memory Card
    I bought this card for my Kodak CX7430. 256 mb is more than enough for my needs. I have been using it for a while now and am very pleased with it. The card is easily puts the pictures from my camera onto my computer. There have never been any errors or file corruptions. The memory card is particularly easy for me because I have a slot for it in the front of my CPU. For people who do not have this slot, the camera can hook up to the computer and transfer files from both the internal memory and the card. I recommend Kingston because I have never had a problem with any of their products, and they offer a lifetime warrenty.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Informed Consumer
    Having worked in the memory business, J.Chang is right that Kingston is a large company, but they are the largest memory MODULE maker in the world, mostly for DRAM product.Eugene's comment regarding them being a buyer of chip product is right, and he's also correct from what I've seen in return rates for Kingston, Sandisk, Lexar, etc. in that there are more defects because Kingston does not product their own chips like Sandisk.They only package the product as well as the controller chip (which also they do not make).Samsung, who Kingston purchases from, does not sell cards in the US They only package the product.

    Personally, as a consumer, I bought Kingston and Sandisk, and found the data transfer rate to be faster on the Sandisk.I don't dare want to lose a picture from a potential defect, even though the chances of this is low for either product.I'll go with Sandisk from now on.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Kingston is a Great Brand
    I just wanted to counter one of the reviewer's posts that Kingston is a no name generic brand. Kingston is the largest independant memory provider in the world. I have this card and it works great.

    1-0 out of 5 stars No More Generic Brandnames for Me
    My sister purchased a Kingston 256 SDs recently for my Optio DSC.I recently purchased a 1 G Sandisk SD for my camcorder (Panasonic SV-AV100) which works very well, but my sister borrows it a lot, and I then use my sister's Optio DSC if I want to take pictures on a night out in town.

    Let me say, the delivery by Amazon was on time and great, but that's about where the happiness ends with Kingston product.After taking pictures at my elementary school friend's wedding, I couldn't load the pictures on my computer...I found that the files were somehow ruined through a computer read cycle.Memories..gone just like that.I contacted Kingston who said they would send my sister a new one, but it has been 2 weeks.I am infuriated.

    The 32 MB card the camera came with works fine.I'm never buying Kingston again.As an explanation for their lower quality product...i heard that Sandisk actually makes most of their NAND flash chips which is packaged into the card..vertically integrated from top to bottom and in control of manufacturing process, unlike the Generic low-quality brands like Kingston which must buy from Samsung or another foundry.Too many hands touching it = more prone to error.

    I'm not going to get some great pictures I took back again.3 DOLLAR SAVINGS NOT WORTH IT.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great Price, Great Product
    I brought this memory card for my iPAQ Pocket PC, mainly to store my music files on.Although this can approximately only hold about 60 songs, its big enough for me.This is a great card that has a good amount of memory, and is very cheap.So cheap that buying several of these are more affordable than buying bigger size cards.Overall, if your looking for a memory card, deffinatly get this. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent
    I was a bit nervous burning one of these, because the thought of a $7.00 coaster did not excite me.

    However, my fears were unjustified.It burned flawlessly.It's awesome to have 8.5GB of data on one disk.

    1-0 out of 5 stars how to use them????
    Ok, I have the dvd9s but for some reason no one seems to know how to make a movie with them. I have the latest version of Nero and windvd creator 2. Well, Nero recognizes them, and burns the DVD, but the DVD-movie is only recognized in a DL drive not a regular one (made late 2004) and WinDVD creator 2 doesn't seem to even recognize the dvd9.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Love these DVD+R DLs
    As of this date, I have used approximately 6 of these DVDs, without any problems at all.Although it takes a while to process, I don't just sit and stare at the monitor, I'm busy doing something, so the time still flies.Sometimes I think it is so accurate because of the slow speed.All I an say is the results have been flawless, no problems at all. I have tried them on several standalone DVD players, with no issues at all.I used a sony DVD RW drive.

    4-0 out of 5 stars these are great!
    Verbatium is known for its media all around the world, and it should shock anyone that their dual-layer DVD+Rs are great!

    I have burned things with them with no problems!

    Yes, there is a 2.4 burn speed, but most dual-layer drives out right now can't burn past that anyways, so anyone complaining about that, well, get over it until something newer and better comes out.

    Now - if for some reason you are trying to burn movies, be very cautious.Most older DVD players (anything made before 2004) might have some issues playing these discs.Also, if you use a PlayStation 2 to view your movies, a lot of the older models will not play them or will have little compatability.This is due to the new media not being supported, but the majority of new dvd players and newer models of the PS2 should play movies with ease.

    These are the best dual-layer DVD+Rs.

    My only gripe, as I'm sure it is with everyone else - the price.$20 seems like a decent price for the three-pack - paying close to $10 a disc - a little steep for many, especially since dual-layer drives seem to be in a lot of stores, but you can't find the media anywhere...

    ...I can only hope this changes.

    Overall - a great product.A little pricy, but, somewhat worth it for now.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent media quality
    Quick Summary: Burns at 2.4x or 4x on Plextor 716A burner; Verbatim DVD+R DL burned with the Plextor 716A is PLAYABLE in EVERY DVD Player (at least 20 and counting) I have tried!!!Awesome.

    Full article:
    I recently used the Verbatim DVD+R DL media to back up a couple of my most popular DVD's.The original was 8.1GB in size and contained about 50 music videos.I couldn't get it to squeeze down to fit on a single layer disc.Verbatim DVD+R DL to the rescue!

    Using my new Plextor PX-716A burner (an excellent DVD Burner!), I used the included PlexTools program to make a copy of my DVD.Note, the original DVD is not protected in any way.

    I burned the DVD+R DL at 4x speed (approx. 28 min. to burn).There is a selection in the Plextor's software to "overwrite" the book type of the DVD+R DL so that it looks like a pressed dual-layer DVD to settop DVD players (to avoid a confusing older DVD players).I used this setting (it is by default) to burn the DVD.

    When it comes to DVD burning, there is no better test than the compatiblilty and quality test of the burned disc.The test is simple, put the burned DVD in as many players as you can and seehow many can and cannot read it.Well, I have to say that I have tested this DVD+R DL in over 20 DVD players so far, and ALL have played it with NO COMPATIBILITY issues whatsoever. This finding is as good as or better than all DVD+R and DVD-R (single layer) I have ever used.

    After having read all the reviews on the web about how incompatible burned DVD+R DL discs are, I have to say, the Plextor 716A and Verbatim DVD+R DL combination blows everything else away.

    Yes, the discs are kinda expensive, but if you have valuable or irreplaceable DVDs to back up, they will work for you.As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars How many pictures will it store?
    How many pictures will it store?It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about.Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

    The Viking 128MB Secure Digital Card, like most 128MB cards, will store on average 142 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 106 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,64 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 51 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 40 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera.These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

    I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Slower than molasses--until I formatted it.
    NOTE TO EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CARD--I reformatted it in my camera and it works fine now!!
    Initially I wrote:
    I was very disappointed in the shot-to-shot speed with this card (using a Minolta Xg).The Panasonic card that came with the camera, which I thought would be cheap, is THREE TIMES FASTER than this "upgrade".This card is useless to me as it cripples the camera I bought it to work in.It takes FOURTEEN SECONDS from one shot to the next with this card.With the original card, it's less than four seconds.The claim that this is a "high speed" card is dishonest.This is the slowest card I've ever used.I will throw this card away rather than curse someone else with it.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Works great for me!
    I haven't had one problem with this card at all. I'm super happy that I bought it & I had a bonus to get a rebate.. woo hoo!

    1-0 out of 5 stars DOA
    The first card I received was defective.Even after formatting it in a camera, the image files could not be transferred to any of 3 computers with 2 different O/Ses via USB cable to the camera or card reader.I'm waiting on a replacement.Hope it works!

    1-0 out of 5 stars average card, very bad customer service.
    The worst customer service I have ever experienced. The lady who alledged to be the customer service supervisor said:"You got it cheaper than other brands, what else do you expect?" "Viking cheats. So what?"

    1-0 out of 5 stars Slow, unreliable, power-hungry; better choices elsewhere
    I got this Viking 1GB CF card for cheap at my local Staples a month ago because they had a huge rebate offer, making this dirt cheap.I got it as a backup card for my Nikon D70 digital camera.I've been very unhappy with it, after using it on my trip to Vegas last week.

    First, it's SLOW.Like other digital SLR cameras, the Nikon D70 can take 2 or 3 pictures per second, but when the memory card is slow, the camera slows down to 1 picture per second.With my workhorse Lexar 1GB 40x CF card, I can do 3 pictures/sec easily, but with the Viking, I could barely do 1 pic/sec, which frustrated me a lot when I tried to shoot the dancing fountain in front of Bellagio.

    Second, this card seems to be unreliable.I've taken over 2000 shots on my Lexar and haven't had any problems, but with the Viking, 4 of the 80 shots also I took with it became corrupted.Ok, this was a one-time thing, but I had had problems with Viking cards before ("you get what you pay for", alas), and apparently their quality assurance has not improved.

    Third, this card is very power hungry, to the point of being ridiculous.With my Lexar in my Nikon D70, I can take hundreds of pictures per charge.When I was in Vegas, I had a freshly recharged battery in my camera when I put in this card, and the battery went out after only 50 pictures!I just couldn't believe it.I don't think any other factor contributed to this, as it was almost 60 degrees in Vegas at the time (~7 pm) and the weather was great.I popped in my spare battery (also fully charged), and after 20 shots or so the battery lost one of three bars.I was very unhappy with this.Of course, the reliability problem mentioned above was even worse.

    Viking is the value brand of some company which I can't remember which one.Trust me on this: get a reliable memory card, because you don't want to risk losing data, esp. important data.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great memory card for my Jornada 720 Palmtop!
    I've been using Viking cards for a long time know.My first CF card was Kingston 16MB costing me about $60 in 2000.I then got a 32MB San Disk card for like $40 in 2002.I then ditched SanDisk and Kingston and went to Viking in late 2002 and have been using them ever since.Well just last week bought this CF card for $88!Its amazing how cheap and how much disk space you get with these cards.

    Viking has worked for me and is plenty fast for my needs.Sure since I do not work with video I may not notice the speed problems, but for what I do this card is great!I am going to transfer a ton of songs and photos over to my Jornada, know since I have the disk space!My PC laptop is running out of space, so this card could help free up some space a little.

    Thanks Viking!

    3-0 out of 5 stars Slow.
    I was baptized by fire on my learning curve of flash memory speed. My digital camera can take movies at 640x480 at 30 frames per second (about 1.2MB/sec), but forget about doing something like that with this product. To my memory, I could still take them at 15fps or 320x240 at at least 15fps and possibly 30fps too, which is fast enough for most people taking snapshots and uploading via a USB 1 connection, which is inherently limited at 1MB/sec anyway.

    Amazon was great about the return, and I returned the kindness with a purchase of a Sandisk Ultra II ("40x") card, which even at 40x and a write-acceleration-enabled camera, isn't quite fast enough for me, but still loads faster than this one. I think Sandisk rates this card at 4x or 6x or something. I could take about 15sec of vga/30 movie before my camera buffer overflowed. I can take about about 60sec with the 40x Ultra II, continuous. Apparently the real-world write speed of my Ultra II in my camera (varies from cam to cam) is just below my camera's write speed requirements.

    I personally am waiting for the retail release of the Seagate ST1 CF hard drive, a competitor to Hitachi's Microdrive. The ST1 will be in 2.5GB and 5GB format; an OEM 5-gigger is currently being used in the Rio Carbon MP3 player, and the 2.5GB is apparently used in Seagate's USB 2.0 portable storage solution, both available at Amazon. The Seagates seem to be a lot less fragile than the Hitachi's. Barring that, I'd consider the Lexar 80x card or anything by Lexar, for that matter, over Sandisk.

    If you don't have a write-acceleration-capable camera, this may be the deal you were looking for, but I was surprised to see the number of reliability complaints here. This card probably ideal for portable media players. I doubt I'd trust it for a Pocket PC, though. Enthusiasts should look for another card, but cheapies might want to splurge. After reading my Sandisk warranty, by the way, I was not impressed. I don't remember why, I'm sorry, but there was a very real reason which could be found with research in forums. I don't think I would buy Sandisk now at all; Lexar seems to have better reliability, truer specs, and I think a better warranty policy.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Great Value. Educate Yourself Before You Buy
    The fact of the matter is, at the time of writing this review, there is no better value (GB/$) than this 1 GB disk. It is not as fast as many that you can purchase, but even for me taking wedding photos, my on-camera cache is enough to compensate for that speed. For the average or even semi-professional photographer (unless your goal is to be taking many rapid-fire shots) even this slow speed should be more than enough.

    Vikikng quality and their 5 year manufacturer's warranty make this card that much better of a value over the no-name cheap competition. However, in my 4-year experience with Viking, Sandisk, and no-name compact flash, Viking has actually had poorer performance than the no-namers. However, Viking has been true to their word to replace damaged or malfunctioning Compact Flash cards with a simple visit to their website to fill out a claim.

    The card is not perfect. It may fail and you will be stuck with 1 Gig of corrupted imgaes. That could happen with any card that you purchase. The card is slower than some, but most of the cameras being sold today have at least a 4 picture cache which means you will rarely even notice the effects under normal shooting conditions. The card is not the cure-all for the digital storage world, but at the time of writing this review it was only about fifty-nine bucks making it the best value out there that I have seen, all this with no-cost shipping and no sales tax.

    So take the plusses and the minusses into account and make your choice...unless you have very special needs that would necessitate a faster card, this will probably be what you should choose.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Not too bad
    It is a pretty good headphone for <10$.

    However, as a 6'4" person, the cord is a tad too short if I have my Ipod in my left pocket. If you are taller than that, it will almost certainly be too short, and I would not recommend you to buy this unless you have an extension cord or a remote.

    5-0 out of 5 stars You got to get these if you listen to any type of music!!!!!
    Get these Earphones now!!!!!!!! If you listen to rap,punk,rock,classical, just get them. They are steal for this price.Great for the computer, MP3 players, and CD players. At first I thought I was going to get ripped off because of the price earphones but these phones have great sound. Crisp and Clear. Lots of Bass for small little things. Just listen to a 50 Cent with alot of bass and you will know what I mean. Can't say much more. You won't be disapointed with the purchase.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Cheap and Fabulous
    ...And they were less than 10 dollars.

    I have purchased many earphones, but to a lot of disappointment, since I knew that every time I would get them, I would have to compromise sound quality for size and ease of use. However, having 10 dollars in my pocket and my eye on these Sony MDR-E828LP's, I tried the earbud experience for one last time.

    Fortunately, my "last" experience was phenomenal and much better than expected. The 9mm Nd magnets and circuitry made these sound somewhat comparable to my Studio Series headphones (which much difference, of course). The cord length is perfectly suited for these types of headphones, but the design is slightly flawed, depending on whom buys the headphones.

    The sound quality is definitely better than any other earbud that I have tried, however I am sure that it cannot be compared to the quality of Shures or Sennheisers, as those are the de facto companies for professional sound. The bass is somewhat lacking, however the mid and high frequencies are definitely clear and crisp. However, that is only with the foam earpieces on. Operating them without the cushions makes a world of difference, since it completely diminishes the low frequency and alterting the mid and high frequencies noticably.

    The question of design is concering comfort, as good sound also compromises the comfortability level of these earphones. Wearing these headphones for an hour or so is comfortable; it is after that hour of listening that the pain begins. After two hours or so of listening, one begins to feel as if your ears have been cut on the inside, especially without the foam covers. However, the reason why I say that it is dependent on WHOM buys the product is because the construction inside of my ear is small, and that could have affected the comfort of these earphones.

    All aspects considered, the E828LP is a very smart and cost-effective buy for somewhat premium sound. Of course, nothing short of high-quality is expected of a Sony product.

    5-0 out of 5 stars The Best Earbuds I Have Ever Used
    The bass is clear and strong.The treble is crisp and does not break up or pop.Great for techno, rock, and alternative music.I compared these to the Apple iPod M9394G/A Earbud Headphones that my friend owned.The Apples couldn't hold a candle to the Sony buds and on top of that the Sonys are thirty dollars cheaper.The sony spin case is also convenient.If you have small ear canals these may be a little too large, but otherwise I would highly recomend them.

    4-0 out of 5 stars dont buy this if you got small ear!
    This headphone is fine for being inexpensive. However it does hurt your ear, if you have small ear like mine. ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, but handy and easy
    When you get the idea of having a Y-Adapter and how much good it could do, you would think it would be difficult to choose a Y adapter from the enourmous electronics market. This adapter is really complimentary, and shows off as a better splitter there is.

    Monster has done some effort and design for this, which shows in the cool look of the adapter and in the really overpriced price. The adapter feels good in your hand, and it doesn't have a too long wire connecting the input to the adapter, so tangle free-operation (though this can be a disadvantage for some people). The wire is well-insulated for maximum protection.

    Though overpriced, if you are looking for a Y adapter, this is the one to buy. I use this adapter to share music by headphones and split the output of my audio card to headphones and speakers, so when I want to listen to my headphones, I leave the speakers off and vice versa, so I don't have to crouch behind the computer.

    They sell these at almost every dollar store, sure the sound quality might not be quite as good, but you're going to have signal loss whatever you hook it up to. These things sell for $1.50 CAN atdollar stores and are worth every penny of THAT price

    i recently received this so i could share my "tunes" from my iPod with my sister while traveling on an airplane to florida, and it works really well. Great sound quality, no difference noted... Buy this if you are looking for a splitter.

    You can pick one up at RadioShack for $10

    5-0 out of 5 stars Simple solution with great design/aesthetics
    OK, this is a splitter. You can buy a cheap one anywhere but this one is well-made. The design matches the iPod well but it's functional as well. The black circle is a rubberized material with ridges that provide a good place to hold the splitter while you plug or unplug headphones. It works great.

    I bought the splitter to use with a laptop playing DVD's while on vacation so that my wife and I could both listen with headphones (extremely important not to wake kids, especially while trying to enjoy a quiet moment on vacation). It works well on the plane too where you must use headphones to not disturb other passengers. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it should.Very useful for HDTV boxes
    The 6' 4 pin to 6 pin Belkin IEEE 1394/Firewire cable does exactly what it says it should for relatively cheap.As long as you're at the 400 MB/s standard as this is, there's no need to spend $50 on a gold plated connector and superheavy isolation like the Monster cables.Firewire is designed to function up to 15' without signal degradation, and unlike analog signals the 0 and 1s of digital signals aren't subject to manipulation by electrical fields.Either they get through or they don't, so as long as these are certified under the standard you save money by not buying useless frills.It's shiny translucent silver, not black, but if you care that much about cable color you probably already have your cables hidden anyway.

    The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models usually are for devices that need battery power.(The extra two pins carry current.)For those looking for an adapter for Comcast/Motorola HDTV-ready digital boxes, this is the cable you need.For some reason Motorola decided to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs and DVHS VCRs use a 4 pin.(PCs typically use 6.)I've used one for a while now to run flawless 1080i signals between my Comcast HDTV box and my DVHS VCR. Recommended.

Lexar is offering its 80X Professional Series CompactFlash cards in five different capacities, including 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB and 4GB.80X CF cards include an enhanced version of Write Acceleration technology, which optimizes the cards' firmware to reduce overhead associated with transferring data from the camera to the memory card, and improves in-camera performance in high-resolution CompactFlash based cameras.In addition, Lexar's new Write Acceleration provides a larger controller buffer to accommodate transferring up to 32 sectors of data to the card in one command, in cameras supporting this feature. CompactFlash cards without Write Acceleration typically transfer only one sector of data at a time.The cards include a free copy of Lexar's award-winning Image Rescue 2.0 software to recover seemingly lost or deleted images from memory cards. Image Rescue 2.0 now recovers images from any memory card format or brand, and for added convenience, can be used with all mass storage compliant card readers including USB 2.0, USB 1.1 and FireWire readers.Professionals know that a single image can be more valuable than all their equipment combined.

    3-0 out of 5 stars My experience with the 40x card
    Before you purchase this card, make sure that your camera supports the Write Acceleration Technology. I purchased Lexar's 40x 256MB card (with Write Acceleration) about a year ago for my Minolta DiMage 7Hi camera, and realized my camera did not support the new technology. The CF card still worked, but there was no increase in speed over other cards.

    I checked Lexar's website, and it said that my camera does not support the Write Acceleration technology. The link is here: http://www.lexar.com/digfilm/wa_cf.html

    Current (as of this review) cameras supporting WA technology:
    - All Kodak Professional cameras and pro camera backs, such as the DCS Pro Back 645, DCS Pro Back Plus, DCS 720x, DCS 760, DCS 760m and DCS 14n
    - Nikon D1x, D1h, D-100 (Requires camera firmware upgrade by Nikon. See Nikon's web page for more details) and D2h

    Lexar USB Card Reader (included... note: this was with my 40x card. you may or may not experience the same issue.):
    - Works only with Lexar CF Cards. Attempted to use with SanDisk and Kingston CF Cards but did not work. Should not be a problem if you only use Lexar products. However, if you do, consider buying a separate card reader.

    5-0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS CARD!
    If you own a Canon camera, Canon does NOT support WA (Write Acceleration) feature of Lexar's high-speed cards:

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great for dSLRs
    [...]

    Lexar's 80x Pro CompactFlash cards are fast, especially if you use them with digital cameras that are compatible with Lexar's "write acceleration" (WA) technology.While popular dSLRs like the Canon Digital Rebel and EOS 10D and 20D and the Nikon D70 do not take advantage of the WA technology, they still benefit tremendously from Lexar's high-speed architecture.In fact, in order to use the dSLR's burst modes, you need a high-speed CF card like this.

    If you happen to own an camera (Kodak, Sanyo, some Nikons, etc. - check Lexar's website) that's WA-compatible, you'll see even greater speed boosts.From my in-store testing (since I can't afford to buy all these dSLRs!) it was hard to see the difference between WA-enabled vs. WA-disabled, since the cameras were all different.Other reviews (not that guy Brent's generic "how many pictures on a card" crap) have claimed WA does make a difference.To tell the truth, I wouldn't concern myself with this WA thing; I think it's more a marketing gimmick then real technology.Luckily, Lexar works very fast even in non-WA-compatible cameras.

    Should you get a Lexar or Sandisk?I think it's toss-up.In the old days (read, a couple years ago) Sandisk had some serious QA problems, leading to tons of defective memory cards, but that seems a thing of the past.My recommendation: buy whichever that's cheaper. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars How many pictures will it store?
    How many pictures will it store?It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about.Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

    The FujiFilm 256MB xD Picture Card, like most 256MB cards, will store on average 284 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 213 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,128 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 102 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 80 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera.These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

    I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

    1-0 out of 5 stars overpriced, slow
    Check web resources.You will find that in all published timing
    tests writes to xD cards are slower than writes to the best CF
    cards despite xD cards costing 60% more.So forget about buying
    xD cards because they are faster; they aren't.

    I could find no independent verification that xD cards decrease
    battery drain in a digital camera.Even if I were willing to
    believe the claim, it is still far cheaper to purchase two or
    three extra sets of rechargeable batteries and carry them with
    me.

    There is no good reason to buy an xD card.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs and more
    I bought this card in conjunction with my Fuji S5000 (which I HIGHLY recommend), and for the three months that I've been using them, they have done absolutely EVERYTHING that I could have wanted.I generally take photos at the 2MP (1600x1200) setting, which gives me reasonable photo size/clarity without taking huge amounts of space--each photo is between 550kb and 650kb, which allows me to take 410 at 2MP.I can get 550 on 1 MP, 325 on 3MP, and 173 on 6MP.On RAW 6MP, I can only get 37 though... this is what makes me consider getting a 512 card, or waiting for the upcoming 1GB card Fuji is developing.I've taken thousands of photos in the few months that I've owned this card, and none have been less than perfect as far as the card's impact on them.

    The entire line of xD technology is revolutionary and is REALLY great.It has low battery-drain, it's REAL fast, and it's very versatile.Not to mention small--I'm able to have a rather small camera bag (6"h, 5"w, 3"d) partly because I don't have overly large, bulky cards and cases taking up more space than necessary.

    Beyond its obvious application of excellent use in digital photos, I've actually used it like a removable mini-drive, similar to my pen-drive.However, as this card is larger than my 128MB jumpdrive, i was able to bring what i needed even when my jumpdrive was full.this is more useful than imaginable.i'm getting a Fujifilm DPC-UD1 xD USB Drive Reader and a second xD card, either 256 or 512MB to use it just like my jumpdrive. Again, this is EXCELLENT technology, and the BEST OPTION for new digitals.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Ritz is unconcerned about customer satisfaction!!!!
    A couple of days ago I ordered a 256 MB XD card from Amazon.com and Ritz was the seller. I received an e-mail from Ritz stating that my debit card would be charged 88.95.Amazon quoted me a price of 82.00.The difference was $6.95 in shipping.When I got the item the invoice read that I was charged the $6.95 for shipping. I had already had prior contact with Amazon and they stated that I would not be charged for shipping. I called and spoke with "Johnson" about the matter.Johnson could have cared less that I was billed for shipping and was under the pre-tense that there would be no shipping charge.It was tough luck on my part as far as he was concerned. There are many companies that Amazon sponsors that specifically state that they do not offer free shipping, but Ritz does not state this when they are sponsored seller for Amazon, although they do state on their website that "in order for an order to qualify, it must be at least 100.00. After checking my debit card, I find I was not charged for shipping. Because ofJohnson's unconcerned attitude regarding my problem, this will be the last item that I purchase from Ritz and I will see to it that I spread the word about what a caring company Ritz is not.It is bad business to burn bridges over $7.00.Amazon promised I would not be charged shipping and I was not. If looking for memory, use one of Amazon's other sponsered companies.They might care more about the cutomer.
    Thank you,
    Mark Jones

    I paid for a KINGSTON 128 MB SmartMedia Card and Surpluscomputers.com substituted a PQI brand which I've never heard of. Jerked me around for a week when I wanted a replacement or refund, asked for my address several times, etc., finally, after a week got a refund from Amazon.com. CAUTION: SURPLUSCOMPUTERS.COMIS DISREPUTABLE IN MY BOOK.BUYER BEWARE ! NOT THE KIND OF THIRD PARTY MERCHANT I EXPECT AMAZON.COM TO BE DOING BUSINESS WITH !

    I purchased this Viking Smart Media card for my Olympus C4000 in July, based on recommendations I read here.I ended up using it right away for several work related events.It is absolutely wonderful and a can't miss for the price.I recently purchased a second one and may get a third soon as I keep seeing that Smart Media may go away soon.

    This is a great media card for the price, especially when you consider like brands sell for much more.

    2-0 out of 5 stars incompatibility issues
    Bought one new. Doesn't work in any of the following cameras:
    Olympus C4040, C3020, C4000, E20. Got "media error" when trying
    to format. Can't access it from a PC using a PCMCIA adaptor.
    Can format and read/write fine using a Memorex USB reader.
    Filed a warranty claim with Kingston and got a replacement.
    Still can't work in E20 but can work in a C4040. Will sell it
    on eBay soon.

    It's amazing that 128 MB can fit in something that is about 1/100th the size of my 100 MB ZipDisc.The card works fine, and that's all you can ask it to do.The price is great also, considering that when I bought my digital 4-track, the store tried to sell me a sililar 128 MB smart disc card for 100 bucks.If you're into anything digital, this is the way to go. ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars Very good headphones
    I am overall very delighted. The headphones are sitting tight on the ears, are comfortable for hours, even if you wear glasses. The mentioned pressure is negligible and at least they produce a warm and pleasent sound. I listen mostly to classical music, so, I can't say much about other categories. With my Ipod they sound great, also with my PSP. I like the feature to disconnect the cords and have a cordless noise canceling device. I tested it in the parked car with the engine on and the
