Panorama Feature not supported.
If you are interested in Panorama feature which is available in many Olympus digital cameras..make sure you buy "Olympus xD card".
Do not buy Fujifilm or Lexar or other brand.
All Olympus Xd Card covers have BOLD letter stating "Supports Panorama". Make sure you check that before buying a xD-card.

I like it
I have a Fuji A205 2M digital camera and this 128M card can contain about 200 1600X1200 pictures. It has been working well for a year. Its size is small compared to other cards (CF, SD...). The only not good thing is that xD card is more expensive.

It works, these two words say it all
I have had this XD Picture Card for eight months and it's great. I just put mine in the camera eight months ago and have never taken it out since. When I have about 50 or 60 photos on the camera I just plug into my computer and download them and clear the card. It's as simple as that. The card is fast and speed and reliability do not seem to be affected by temperature or battery power. Just buy it, stick it in the camera and forget about it. You won't regret it.

Fujifilm 128 MB Picture Card
Whats the problem. You gotta have this card for the Fuji camera. It works great. Produces great pictures and at Amazon's price it can't be beat.

Excellent Deal for XD on Amazon
I priced Xd Cards in Ireland and was shocked (but not surprised) to find high prices for it. I went to Amazon and got it for $33 less (about €27) than the best deal in Ireland. I got my package exactly 1 week after I ordered it and the package arrived excellently packaged in official Fuji container. The XD Card increased my Fuji S7000 from a max of 10 6Mb pictures to about 88 max resolution pictures. Very happy ! ... Read more

Must have for the Motorola V7101
I recently bought this little baby to use in my new Motorola cell phone.I haven't had any problems with it so far, despite the fact that is is very tiny when not in the adapter which IS included.Holds almost 4 cd's and plenty of pictures. Amazons price is the best around, as always.Why even look anywhere else? Especially with their free shipping!I'm truely dedicated to do all my shopping at AMAZON.COM; keep up the great work!

A V710 must have!
This transflash card is a must have if you own a Motorola V710.It allows you to move pictures to your PC very easily.Better yet, it allows you to move audio to the phone to use as a MP3 player.As mentioned in the other review, it comes with the SD card adapter. My laptop has a SD slot, so it doesn't get much easier to use. Buy it and be able to use more of the features of the V710. Got a great price here on Amazon with free shipping!

TransFlash to Secure Digital Adapter INCLUDED!
After emailing Amazon to enquire if this particular model came with the TransFlash to SD card adapter and receiving a response that they didn't know, I contacted SanDisk with the model number to find out on my own. Their response was much more helpful, SanDisk said that all their TransFlash cards come with the SD card adapter (Secure Digital). I have a Motorolla V710, all I had to do to put MP3's (which can be used for ringers) onto this card is format it in my phone and then use a memory card reader to add MP3's to the card. Easy, Quick and Effective. This is a great product for the price, buy it and enjoy! ... Read more

Been working good for me
Bought this a week ago and it works perfectly.To all the people having problems recognizing the card in the PSP, you probably tried to format it on your PC.It says in the PSP manual to NEVER format the memory card in your PC, as your PSP will not be able to recognize it once you do this.

If you have to format the card, there's an easy and quick way to do it in the PSP option menu.NEVER format your memory card on your PC!

Well, I'm happy with this thing, no problems so far and you cant beat that price.

great product! but read my review as an fyi...
first of all, i'm not reviewing this memory stick based on an irrelevant circuit city snafu with their price last year... nor am i reviewing it based on psp use.

i am reviewing this 512mb sandisk memory stick duo pro (as pictured here at amazon), based on the use with a sony digital camera, sony dsc-t7.

i initially purchased this at a brick and mortar store and was enthused at the terrific price for it, similar to amazon's price. however, upon inserting it, it did not feel right. it seemed like i was in for the negative reviews which people have been posting...
i fliped it, turned it over, it didn't seem right. it fit the slot sliding in and i pushed it down. i ended up having to remove it with a tweezer! lol.

simply put, i got a defective card.

upon returning it to the store, i insisted that it was defective and asked them if i could exchange it. due to the aforementioned circumstance, i wanted the sales rep to open the package and i wanted to see if the stick fit in the camera. low and behold, the new one did and the camera immediately recognized it. it's perfect and has been working very well.

just be aware, if you are going to a brick and mortar store, bring your camera and make sure that it actually FITS! you will save yourself the hassle of returning, explaining, contesting, exchanging, etc. if you go click and mortar, open the package immediately and test it right away. do not bring an unopened package to a vacation spot somewhere, only to be disappointed that it doesn't fit or that it may even damage your camera if you try to force it.

aside from the slight annoyance of exchanging it, it works perfectly and it functions like a normal memory stick should for a digicam... for storing, retrieving and transfering pictures taken. am very happy with it!

same problem as everyone else...
This card works fine in my computer, but I bought it for my PSP. everyone at my work swore by this card. they don't seem to have any trouble with it (YET!) but i'm having a lot of the same problems as some of the reviews i've read. the card isn't recognized by my PSP whatsoever. I haven't gotten it to work once. If you're buying this for PSP, be warned! you may get lucky, and it may work... or it may not. thanks.

Great Card!
I got this for my PSP and it works great.Much better than Sony card, especially given price.

Worked great...for about a week
Like many others, I purchased this for use in my Sony PSP.I loaded it up with some MP3's before getting on an 8 hour flight and it worked great.About a week later it suddenly stopped working.The PSP no longer recognizes it and when I plug it into my laptop I get a message saying the card needs to be formatted.No problem, just format it, right?Well, when I try to format it I get a message saying that the card can not be found.

I really liked this product at this price...it's a shame it didn't work. ... Read more

Card OK but not for use with high resolution cameras
I bought this card when I purchased a 7 MP camera (Nikon Coolpix 7900). I love the camera, but the slow speed of this SD card makes it sluggish when taking pictures. I haven't had any problems with the card, so I am not saying it is a bad card. It is just not fast enough for a high resolution camera. So I am buying another high speed SD card, and intend to use this card as an emergence backup.

Compatible
I am using this card in a camcorder panasonic, and also in a Kodak easyshare.I don't need to format the card, both devices recognize it and also both read the information already stored.
I have another one from other brand, 128Mb and so far the difference is the label.

works as it should
I bought this when I bought my Nikon 5200. This card stores a ton of pictures,and it transfers photos quickly to my computer, and without any problems.So far,so good.

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 Kingston 512MB Secure Digital Card, like most 512MB cards, will store on average 568 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 426 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,256 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 204 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 160 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 512MB card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Works fine in my MP3 player and for file transfer
No problems, over the last two months, works like a champ.Kind of mad that the standard for everything is shifting towards SD, because I like the extra storage capacity of CF and it seems a little sturdier to me.I used to buy Crucial or SanDisk, but now Kingston is all I own.I've had no problems with the other Kingston chips (CF) that I've had for the past year and they all seem more than fast enough to keep up with my other portable devices. ...

Exceptional Quality at Low Price.
This is a good USB cable.It is compatible with both USB 1.0 and 2.0 ports.It is long enough to give great flexibility with arraging whatever it needs to be connected to.The price is extremely good (even though amazon.com changes it every now and then) for this cable.It is way more expensive in stores.And getting a Belkin product for such a low price is excellent.This is totally worth the money, and is a great buy if you need a USB cable.

... your basic cable.
It's cheap, it works.What more could you want from a cable?

This is a USB 1.0 AND 2.0 cable.
The product description doesn't state this, but this is a USB 2.0 cable meaning you get access to all the extra speed USB 2.0 offers.It's also backward compatible with USB 1.0.

The cable is dark grey (it matches the 2004 model Dells nicely), very sturdy, and has a great solid connection when plugged in.

The price is low, the quality is not. This is an excellent value.

The Best
This is my second Belkin cable.The first one I purchased it from Best Buy for 4 times the amount that I paid at Amazon.I bought the Belkin F3U133-06 because it's the best cable avilable in the market.

if you can use a usb cable for your printer this is the one
I have been using this cable with my Samsung Laster printer for over 2 years now and couldn't be happier with the no problem performance.

Its long enough to be used as a printer cable (which is important) and it works.What more can you ask for from a usb cable?

Much nicer setup than the bulky parallel port setup. ... Read more

Solid, consistent performance
Interesting to see the other reviews on this product...I'm on my second camera, the first having been an HP, my current one a Konica Minolta Dimage A1.Have a variety of capacities of SanDisk card, including this 256. All have performed over the past four years without a single glitch; have taken probably 3,000 shots or so, all highest resolution on a 5 megapixel camera.So, at least on the Dimage A1, this user has experienced no compatibility problems, and only high performance.

Became unreadable
One minute it worked, the next it didn't . . . same thing happened to a friend of mine's.Both cards were under a year old.Neither my camera, multi-card reader or my computer would recognize it. Fortunately, I'd copied the all photos on it to my computer just before it died!

Useless Piece of GARBAGE
Oh, How I WISH I read the reviews here before buying this. I guess I'm one of the "lucky" ones though - The card was useless
right off the bat - I didn't loose any pictures or data. I got a "Protected Card" message in my HP digital camera which made the card useless and a "Card Error" message in my HP printer. Returned the card. Second card, exact same problem. Returning it too. The eBay seller is refunding my purchase price only - I'm out 15.00 in postage & "Handling" - He also claims that the 1st card I sent back is working "perfectly" (HA!) and that my camera must not be "compatable" with SanDisk (Rubbish!). My camera CAME WITH a 32mb SanDisk card that works great. I bought a SimpleTech 256MB card from Amazon and it works beautifully in both my camera and printer.
My advise: RUN AWAY! Buy ANYTHING ELSE but a SanDisk 256MB card made in China and if you're a gambling type and decide to buy a SanDisk after reading all these horror stories, for the Love of God,DON'T buy it on eBay!

Died after little use
I bought one of these to use in my digital camera because I have another card by SanDisk and that one has worked just fine for years. This one died after about 50 pictures. Now I have to go through all the hassle of getting a replacement and not know if that one will last or not. Very disappointed. My original card was made in Taiwan, this new, bad one was made in China.

2 died on me taking with it dozens of pictures I took
I already owned two of these. First one died destroying all thepictures that were on it. The store replaced it for free. Then the replacement one died. Wish i just asked for my money back and have gotten panasonic sd, or even lexar. SanDisk is a terrible company, no joke. How hard is it to make these things work? ... Read more

Excellent
I bought this for my Olympus C7000. I wanted to take hi quality pics and shoot video and be able to store it. On my 32mb i could fit only 40 high quality images and on this 512mb i can fit over 500. If you s shoot video you can shoot for over 9 minutes. My battery life died before i could fill half of this memory card. I have not had any problems with it's functioning, it works perfectly. If you take average quality pics you can fit probably over a 1000 pics. It doesn't get better than this. anything bigger i wouldn't need. It's pretty hard to fill this memory card with just photos because it gives you so much space.

highly recommended and worth every penny.

This card rocks it is perfect & works like a charm i love it

Do not buy this
Instead look into CF1GB-40-278 (Lexar 40x) compact flash card. This one is Type 1 and slow as molasses. For about the same price the lexar card (which is Type 2) is almost 10 times faster. If you are into digital photography with atleast 3mp cameras you need to skip this card and get a faster one.

Best Value on Market; But You Must Know What You're Buying
The fact of the matter is, at the time of writing this review, there is no better value 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.

SanDisk quality and their 5 year manufacturer's warranty make this card that much better of a value over the no-name cheap competition.

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.

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 SanDisk SDCFB-1000-A10 1GB CF Type 1 Card, like most 1000MB cards, will store on average 1137 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 853 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera,512 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 409 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 320 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.

One last thing to consider when buying a 1000MB card.Do not necessarily choose the least expensive card available.A 1000MB card should be an investment.You need to consider quality, reliability, and speed with a card of this capacity.Worse case scenario would be you taking this card (and only this card) on vacation with you overseas and for some reason it gets corrupted.Then what do you do?Purchasing a high capacity card changes the game a little, just be mindful of that before you hit the buy button.

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

Yep..It's slow
I planned on using this in my PDA for music.Its slowness led to skipping and the more files I added the slower it got until it was unusable.I guess that's why they don't tell you the transfer rate.

Bad batch
I have used CompactFlash cards before, having great success with usage and loading to computer.BUT, I recently purchased the 1GB SanDisk card from Amazon, and am disappointed to report that it was defective.I lost over 150 photographs.It would not load my photos onto my computer, and in the camera's LCD there were digital streaks/bands across the images.

I exchanged this item for a new one, which had EXACTLY the same troubles.I am not sure if this was a bad batch, or if 1GB disks are not sophisticated enough yet.Again, I have used other type I/II cards without any problems whatsoever. ... Read more

Geat Deal!!!
You can't beat the price of this card along with the $10 rebate. It installed easily in my older Olympus 550 camera and so far it's been working just fine.

Excellent quality at a great price.
This is the second Viking card I've owned - they are of excellent quality and also a reasonable price.My older card is half the memory and I've used it for over 3 years - even with scratches and a lot of use, it still works great.I've decided to add more memory for longer trips and scientific field work photos...I will buy again!

Viking 128MB SmartMedia card no good
I purchased the Viking 128MB SmartMedia card for my husband for Christmas because there seemed to be so many good reviews about the card.He has an Olympus Camedia 3030L camera and it would not read the card, nor would our Sandisk card reader.I tried to contact Viking over the phone and had no luck.Both toll free numbers are always busy and the other number tells you to call back during business hours (except it is!!) and allows you to leave a message to which no one has responded.It's only been a few days since I've tried to get in touch with Viking, however, I ended up sending the card back to Amazon for a refund since it has been almost 30 days and I didn't want to be stuck with the card if Viking couldn't help.

Works great
I use this in a Zoom MRS-4 digital 4-track recorder.I just put it in the slot, formatted it, and it's worked perfectly for the two months I've been using it.

Can't ask for much more than that!

Great Buy!

Good product, R.M.from Venezuela
I have used my 25 DVD's for movies and data, the quality is good for the price,this is the best dvd+rw 4x I have ever bought. Theamazon's lead time is too long 4 weeks from order making to order receiving. I have ordered 2 more spindle's of memorex DVD+RW.

For informational purposes only
Ordered it in March, thinking that it mught be a Ricohjpnw11 but dissappointed to find out that it's actually a Infodisca10.

For all intents and purposes, I would have much prefer a Ricoh (The Riteks are using those btw) cos of their reputation for quality. But nevertheless to be fair, an Infodisc product should be ok though their QA is not as good.

look no further
this is the best dvd+rw 4x I have ever bought.I tried another "big" brand and got scratched discs with the holder in middle broken on many of them.with amazon, you get your guarantee, and always a great product. I am on my second spindle of memorex and not a scratch in sight. try it, you'll like it! ... Read more

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.

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

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...

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!

Quick Ship, highly Recommended

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Very good reliability
These disks have been 100% reliable in my Panasonic DMR-E85 DVD recorder. ... Read more

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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?"

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Good Cable
I got a good deal at Amazon.com, With free shipping it makes it worthwhile. The Same Cable is thirty bucks in the retail store. It looks very sturdy and doesnt flop around. It has a cool translucent look. It is braided. The contacts are of solid quality.

Great Deal
...This is a very good quality cable. It has a very nice fell to it. The braided sleeve gies it a "stay" not seen with the rubber sleeve cables.
I do not see the logic in spending a lot of money on cables. There are cheaper ones on Amazon.com, but ony this was eligible for the free shipping. I was familiar with how it looked since I had shopped for it in the retail store. With the free shipping (& no taxes) this is an excellent deal. ... Read more

80X, or 12MB per second, Lexar Media is providing the fastest CompactFlash with guaranteed write speeds available, serving the needs of professional photographers and all digital camera users requiring faster image write times. 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.

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
- Sanyo DSC-MZ3
- Sigma SD-9
- Sigma SD10
- Pentax *ist D
- Olympus E1

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.


For a full breakdown of how many pictures you can take with different card capacities, go to http://www.lexar.com/digfilm/capacity_chart.html

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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

No problems with this
Bought this item over a year ago and have had no problems with this card.It holds lots of pictures (depending on your settings) and hasn't caused me any problems.Well worth the money!I take lots of pictures of my son and anytime we go anywhere new, so it gets used a lot.

Great Prices on SD cards!
SD cards are dropping in price on a daily basis it seems.

I don't like to use too large of a capacity since my tragic event at Disney took place. I had a 256 card and an error happened on my camera (which I have since trashed for this incident and bought a new Nikon) but anyway I had over 300+ pics on my card and could only pull off about 40 of DisneyWorld. I cried.

So as a suggestion...clean off your Memory cards after each event and don't go for the 512MB or the 1GB cards unless you are putting video on it or etc.

Now I am a happy person once again since my hubby's going to take me back to DW to replenish those missing pics!
=)

Slow Writing, but fast reading
Bought this card for my XDA I PDA. Worked fine right out of the box. However, this only showed up as 118mb card !!! not sure if this is the SD card itself or the PDA causing the loss of some 10mb worth of space.

Also it is slow to write to the card, but quite fast when reading from the card.

Works great
The card works great in my camera. What more is there to say? ... Read more
