Lost Your Camera? All is Not Lost

There's perhaps nothing as upsetting as losing your camera during a trip, particularly at the end, when all of your vacation photos go missing as well (a close second perhaps, is losing your notebook that you're using to report on a trip, cough, cough). Thankfully, the wonderful Web can often come in and act as a savior. Case in point: When Californian Nick Hare came across a camera while cycling in Maui, he picked it up and, after getting a digital card-reader, he found a photo of a young c

5 Stars Powerful little memory stick…
I bought this as I have a lot of equipment now that really requires a memory stick–happily they all require the same size. …Though if they didn’t, the Sony Memory Stick PRODuo 4GB Mark2 would still be fairly helpful, as it comes with an adaptor for slots that are bigger than the one in the PSP or in most HP digital cameras.

As a happy side-effect, my Sims2: Castaway game hardly ever freezes up now. :-)
Thanks for reading!

1 Star THIS MEMORY CARD IS SO BAD I JUST USED ONE WEEK
I JUST USED FOR ONE WEEK AND NOW SHOW A FORMAT ERROR ALL THE TIME

AND IS NOTHING I CAN DO

IF YOU KNOW CAN I DO SOMETHING TO GET MY MONEY BACK PLEASE LET ME KNOW

DO NOT BUY THIS MEMORY CARD

5 Stars great decision
i am extremely happy that i decided to purchase this item. the price off set me at first but it was worth it. didnt have to do anything. i just popped it in and i was ready to go. except the tech is a little too new for my older laptop (hp pavilion zd8000). it doesnt register all the space so i have to connect the card to my comp through my psp and not my card reader, but thats a minor issue. everything else is perfect. the shipping was speedy too :-).

3 Stars as good as free can be, good flash memory
like I wrote, as good as free can be.

it’s a good flash memory

5 Stars It was the genuine article
It was about half the price of a physical store and it wasn’t fake! I bought it from Amazon and I think they are reliable. I am completely satisfied. Well except for the fact that Sony uses these instead of the “standard” SD card. Plus you have to use that adapter to insert it into any card slot.

SanDisk SDDRX3 CF A31 Extreme USB 2 0 Reader Black




The SanDisk Extreme USB 2.0 Reader is the perfect accessory for SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash cards. When coupled with a SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash card, it helps you transfer large files faster through your computer’s USB port, at a speed of 30MB/s. It also features the reliability and professional-level services that have become synonymous with the SanDisk Extreme product family.

5 Stars **** An Awesome Reader ****
A must have for anyone who shoots a lot of sports or just shoot a lot at once. Example: I do “Sports-Action Photography”. Last week I downloaded 412 photos in 54 seconds,using a SanDisk Extreme III CF 30 MB/s 4GB. The reader is “The Best” I’ve ever had out of many. When not in use I put a blank CF in it to keep the dust out as it sits on my desk.

4 Stars Usable and reliable, good value.
Bought to replace my antiquated SanDisk CF reader that would not work at all with the newer UDMA cards.

Pros?

- Inexpensive

- Well built

- Includes cable

- Includes software (have yet to use though)

- Nice rubber pad/foot on the bottom

Cons?

- Potentially finicky operation on a Mac (~43 minutes to copy 2.49 gigs of images to a MacBook Pro) with an Extreme IV 4G card. Subsequent use of the reader proved much faster (~3 minutes to copy 2 gigs of images) regardless of CF card type used (Extreme III, Extreme IV, Ultra II, or Lexar 133).

Speed aside, the reader is durable and affordable. No regrets about buying it.

5 Stars Effiently Fast
This product sure beats uploading my images using my card reader that is built in to my computer. IT cuts the time in half. I use mainly extreme III cards by sandisk and it is a perfect match. I highly recommend.

4 Stars May Not Be Compatible With Some Faster CompactFlash Cards
Upon Receiving a camera I had ordered at the same time as this reader, I discovered that it did not include any storage on-board, so I went to a local shop and picked up a 4GB 233X Lexar Professional CompactFlash card as I had not yet received the 4GB 300X Transcend CompactFlash cards I had ordered from another vendor.

This reader works fine with the 233X Lexar card, but the 300X Transcend card will not mount at all using this reader. Oddly enough, the 300X Transcend card works fine with my camera which came out well before CompactFlash IV cards, but for some reason this reader refuses to read it.

It works fine (as expected) with CompactFlash III or lower cards, but if you plan on purchasing cards faster than 233X, you might want to look elsewhere for a different reader.

4 Stars Sturdy, Fast but expensive
I’ve been happy with this card reader. I had bought a cheap one initially and it broke after a couple of uses. This Sandisk reader holds the cards straight is foolproof in terms of loading the cards and reads the cards much faster than the camera or the cheaper one I originally bought. It’s expensive, but worth it.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars An excellent package
I bought this for a friend after he saw the different Micro SD adapters I had; I had previously bought the usb adapter and the micro to regular sd card, but each of mine came in a separate package and was much more expensive. This package is the best I could find, and inexpenisve as well. Kingston is a good brand, one of the best memory brands, and since its the best price out there, I would recomend this to everyone.

If you think you don’t need the usb or sd adapters, wait until get a microsd flash card. Then you have to spend another 30 dollars to get the software to transfer data and mp3s to your phone or device, then find its a pain in the arse to use the software, as it usually is. Most of those programmes take forever to load and slow down your computer quite a bit, plus its impossible to get mp3s from your friends.

I keep the usp adapter in my messenger bag and carry it with me, and this allows me to use the micro sd card as a flash drive. The issue you might have with this package is that the 4 and 8 gb micro sd cards are a different format than the 1 and 2gb cards, so this may not be compatable with your device, and the 8gb card more than likely is not compatible with it.

Other than, its a great product, and once you get it you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Getting one of these saved me the several hundred dollars of getting an ipod or generic mp3 player that doesn’t work as well.

All in all, fantastisch!

5 Stars Love My Kingston Flash Memory 4GB Kit!
Kingston Flash Memory MBLY/4GB Mobilty Kit with 4 GB MicroSD Card Reader and 3 Adapters

If you have a cell phone that needs more memory storage then this is just want you been looking for. I recently bought mine and i just love it! I have stored more music and pictures on my cell phone then i ever imagined i could, i just love it! Order yours now, i’m certain you will feel the same way as me. “Happy shopping at Amazon!” Best site i have found to buy items for a lower price, thank you Amazon!

5 Stars Very versatile
This is a great memory card kit. I like the fact that the kit comes with so many adapters. I can put the card in our camera, laptop, mp3 player, cell phone, and digital photo frame. And with 4Gb of memory it can hold quite a bit. I am very happy with it.

5 Stars All I needed was an SD card…
I needed an SD card for me new camera, and this was actually the cheapest brand name option in spite of the inclusion of the additional adapters etc. Really fast card - perfect for my DSLR camera. The USB adapter is actually one of the best I’ve come across - really small, really convenient.

Highly recommended.

5 Stars Great Tool
don’t really use the microsd Adaptor, but i carry the usb key everywhere i go!

i have an lg dare with an 8g microSDhc, but i also have a macbook pro. the mac and the lg aren’t compatible directly, so i use the usb key adaptor for memory storage and transfer.

pretty awesome.
