4 out of 5 stars Decent card, but why not buy 256 or 512MB for not much more.......2006-01-20

The only problems I have had with this card are- my wife keeps filling it up and then nags me to download the pictures onto our computer. With the settings on my camera at- Image Size 1024 X 768 and Image Quality normal (the quality options on various cameras are probably different- but normal on my camera is the middle option), I am able to fit over 300 pictures on the PNY CompactFlash 128MB card. These settings give us the best combination of quality and amount of pictures that will fit on the card; based on our usage- which is primarily candid pictures of our 1yr old twins. This is the memory card that came with the camera; I plan on upgrading to a 1GB card fairly soon. Not because of problems with this card- because I am getting sick of having to download and clear out the card so frequently. A 1GB card is not really that expensive and then my wife can pack about 1300- 1400 hundred pictures into the camera before bugging me (which should only take her about 2-3 months; our kids should be able to relive their entire childhood with the 50,000 pictures they will have burned on a disc when they get older). Also a Scandisc Ultra CompactFlash card has much, much faster read and write times; which will produce better pictures.

I bought a 128 PNY CF memory card for my Minolta 404 almost two years ago, made thousands of pictures and down load many times. Never have problems. It was kind slow when I made fine quality (TIFF) pictures.

2 out of 5 stars A waste of money.......2003-10-21

I haven't had the reliability problems spoken of here when used in my Canon A70. However, I have had compatibility problems when trying to download using a third party USB 2.0 card reader. This is the only brand of compact flash that was incompatible out of four others I tried. I was forced to download directly from the camera at USB 1.1 speed.
Also, this thing has a write speed at least half as fast as other CF cards available (except for Sandisk). It slowed photo operations significantly.

1 out of 5 stars Bad choice--do not buy.......2003-09-28

Two problems: first the card did not work in our brand new digital Nikon camera while we were on vacation. Second, tech support/help line was an endless loop of recorded nonsense--never again do we want to spend precious vacation time listening to "Press 1 for...." Do not buy this product.

1 out of 5 stars Buy a different brand!.......2003-09-22

My girlfriend's Canon S230 Powershot camera uses the 128mb PNY flashcard. Recently we started getting errors. The memory gets corrupted and we lose pictures--lots! It also becomes a problem to download the remaining pictures as we are forced to download them one at a time. Customer Service at Best Buy said that they have seen a lot of problems like this with PNY flash cards. When I called PNY customer service for a replacement they said that this happens with memory cards after a while and that I should just keep reformatting the card. Now every time I take pictures I wonder which ones I'm going to lose. Try a different manufacturer.

      5 out of 5 stars How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

      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 PNY P-HSCF128-RF 128MB Optima 21X Speed CompactFlash Memory 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.

      ASIN: B00005A3M8

      Amazon.com Product Description

      The DCR-TRV330 is a great midlevel Digital8 camcorder. Digital8 utilizes the digital video format, but records onto Hi8 tapes, and can play your old Hi8 and 8mm movies. The 25x optical (28x digital) zoom is combined with image stabilization, a boon since high zooms can lead to increased shakiness. Additionally, the DCR-TRV330 features Sony's NightShot system for 0-lux shooting. An assortment of special effects and faders help give your footage a more professional feel. Also, a 16:9 widescreen shooting mode lets you shoot movies in the same aspect ratio as Hollywood films.

      The black-and-white EVF is adequate, but the 2.5-inch color LCD monitor is the better bet for framing your shots. Digital stills can be recorded onto the accompanying 4 MB Memory Stick, and images can be downloaded to your computer via USB. Like all DV camcorders, the audio is recorded at CD-quality levels--PCM digital stereo. Should you need more professional sound than the built-in mic provides, a mic input jack is located on the camcorder.

      Because the DCR-TRV330 uses the DV format, you can download your footage to a computer for editing using an IEEE 1394 cable. Analog pass-through ports are built-in, letting you digitally archive all your old analog footage. Also included are a shoulder strap, lens cap, battery, AC adapter, and remote control.

      1 out of 5 stars Problems -- do not buy!!! .......2005-02-14

      Numerous reports of camera stopping (type DCR trv38 and problem in google and you'll see what I mean) . The screen goes blank and that's the end of your DCR. Costs about $300 to repair. Reports from 2 months to 2 years usage and not linked to how often used or how treated. It is a problem with the "board" and your camera WILL die it's just a matter of when. It happened to us and we are thinking it was just us. We're buying a new DCR and you can bet it won't be a SONY even if they gave us one--they are too unreliable.

      1 out of 5 stars Don't touch it with a bargepole.......2004-11-12

      This Digicam sulks..I used it for < 2years and it has gone kaput. When I reported this to the Sony Service center they asked for $300 repair cost. They are living in anachronistic times when they quoted this sky high rate. You can get a new one (and that too the latest model ) for a little more than $300.

      5 out of 5 stars Good deal.......2003-12-04

      I've been looking around at prices and i'de say this is the best price I've found. I was checking out other cameras and found one for $500. It was not as good as this one and cost more. Its worth your cash and the specs are nice! Like the 25x optical zoom is crazy. The digital zoom doesn't really make a difference after u get over 200x zoom on that. So dont think that 700x zoom makes much of a difference. I'de say buy it asap.

      1 out of 5 stars Durability is terrible.......2003-11-25

      Bought this camera less than 2 years ago and I thought it was pretty good, except the digital part. Terrible pictures, it isn't worth the extra $$. However, the camera recently broke, despite extremely mild usage. The camera will no longer close with a cassette inside. I now know that this defect is fairly common, but an expensive repair. I'm looking for a different camera, different brand. Sony has a quality problem.

      5 out of 5 stars good stuff.......2002-12-05

                3 out of 5 stars Watch out for hidden VCR hazard!.......2002-12-03

                I bought this DVD player in April of 2001. I bought it mainly because at the time, I ordered a lot of movies from England. I hooked it up to my TV, had no problems. Well, then the batteries started going out quickly. But I have another remote that does this, too, so I started taking the batteries out when not in use. When I moved, I had to hook it up through the VCR. It worked fine until 2 weeks ago when the remote died. No battery changes bring it back. So I contacted SMC.

                The man I spoke to today said they'd discovered two years ago that the video protection inside the DVD player, which apparently is meant to prevent recording DVDs onto VHS, sends a signal back to the remote, and it makes the remote not work. If it is that way for too long, the remote dies. He said they stopped making them in 1999, and sold their quantities as is w/no warranties to larger companies who may or may not have opted to give a warranty.

                When the remote worked, this was a great product. Just be careful. It will cost you [money]to get a new remote, if they happen to have any in stock. If the remote doesn't work, you cannot change regions or TV systems.

                I bought this DVD player in April of 2001. I bought it mainly because at the time, I ordered a lot of movies from England. I hooked it up to my TV, had no problems. Well, then the batteries started going out quickly. But I have another remote that does this, too, so I started taking the batteries out when not in use. When I moved, I had to hook it up through the VCR. It worked fine until 2 weeks ago when the remote died. No battery changes bring it back. So I contacted SMC.

                The man I spoke to said they'd discovered two years ago that the video protection inside the DVD player, which apparently is meant to prevent recording DVDs onto VHS, sends a signal back to the remote, and it makes the remote not work. If it is that way for too long, the remote dies. He said they stopped making them in 1999, and sold their quantities as is w/no warranties to larger companies who may or may not have opted to give a warranty.

                When the remote worked, this was a great product. Just be careful. It will cost you ($$$) to get a new remote, if they happen to have any in stock. If the remote doesn't work, you cannot change regions or TV systems.

                4 out of 5 stars Great multi-region player........2002-11-20

                This is a very versatile multi-region DVD player that also plays VCD's and CD-R/RW's. It also plays back PAL system VCD's and DVD's on NTSC TV's. It has a full function remote control.

                The only drawback is that there is a visible jitter while moving from one layer to another during the playback of playing multi-layered DVD's.

                3 out of 5 stars flexible player but not reliable.......2002-01-22

                I bought this because it was cheap and I knew it had the "secret menus". This has worked pretty good, kind of noisy like the other DVD-ROM drive based players (has a PC DVD drive in it), but it will play anything, even my homemade VCDs I make on my Mac, that I burn on CDRs. Most brand name DVD players will read VCDs on CD-RW if at all. It has problems with layer changes, just a stutter on some discs.

                BUT, I bought it in August and only use it 2-3 times a week and it just died. Now I get to figure out how to get warranty service on this thing, oh boy!

                4 out of 5 stars Decent player, even plays PAL DVDs.......2001-08-23

                I bought this player about 3 months ago. Good, decent quality, nothing extra-ordinaire, except: It will play region free AND it will play PAL DVDs on an NTSC TV!! Just follow these instructions: CODE CHANGE:1) Turn on player and open tray. 2) On the remote press 7, 7, Select. 3) A hidden menu will appear on your TV screen. Use the directional buttons to scroll down to "Country Code". Press SELECT on the remote and change the setting to the Region Code you need, 1 thru 6, however changing it to "0" does not make it code free. (NOTE: this player's code fix seems to be like the Ariston DVD-2000 code fix so I tried entering "13" for the Country Code and the player is indeed playing Region 1, Region 2 and Non-coded discs with that code. I do not have discs from other regions to test them however.) 4) After entering the desired number press SELECT. 5) From this menu you can change other settings, but to exit the menu just press RETURN.

                DISABLE MACROVISION: 1) Access hidden menu as described above. 2) Use directional buttons on remote to scroll down to "Macrovision". 3) The default setting is "1" which seems to mean "enabled". Press SELECT and then press the "0/10" button; this clears the setting. 4) Press SELECT and the setting changes to "0" which disables it. 5) Press RETURN to exit the menu

                5 out of 5 stars Compact and useful.......2007-08-30

                I was so pleased to have a CD ROM drive again (the one built in to my computer died ages ago). This little number is great! Absolutley reliable, perfect XP compatibility, and the USB connection makes it so easy -- no extra power cords.

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent Product.......2007-07-02

                Recently decided to use my dvd slot on my thinkpad t60p for another hard-drive. This external slimline dual dvd writer runs off my usb port: the included power adapter is not required for newer machines. I did a lot of research, this looks like the best product out there for slimline dvd writers that can be powered of the machine itself

                5 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed.......2007-01-10

                No extra AC power cord needed. My DVD player in my laptop went out and the laptop manufacturer wanted $450 for an in-case proprietary replacement. I use the DVD player a lot on the plane and unless I'm in first class, don't have power. This one runs off the USB power. It's very slim and not bulky. Just what I needed. I only have one question. Why don't they sell this thing in computer retail stores. It's a winner!

                5 out of 5 stars Great portable drive for tablets.......2007-01-05

                Easy to install.
                Runs entirely on USB power.
                Perfect for the ultraportable for application loading or games.
