This is a nice compact 6-in-1 unit that comes in a little pouch. It's not too big, and for traveling you don't need to carry around the USB cable - it has its own short USB connector to plug into a laptop. It plugged into my Windows XP system with no trouble and simply appeared as four removable drives. The speed is excellent, much faster than the USB 1.1 device I had tried earlier. Though it's more expensive than some of the other 6-in-1 memory card readers, I think it's worth it.

Note that an insert in the manual warns of a problem writing MMC cards, and suggests checking the web site for driver updates. I haven't done this yet, as I don't have any MMC cards, so I can't vouch for whether or not there is a fix.

Recently I needed a multi-card reader and wanted to take advantage of USB 2.0. I first purchased another brand 6-in-1 reader but it did not work properly with the XP system on my computer (driver conflict?). I returned it and went and purchased this unit. Not only is it smaller, but it worked instantly! Don't waste time looking at other units. Get this one whether you have USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 (very, very fast).

The Imation FlashGO! 2.0 is a great 6-in-1 reader/writer. Worked the first time it was plugged in, and everytime thereafter. It's much more compact and lighter that the SanDisk 6-in-1 unit. And definitely much more reliable (I tried 2 of the SanDisk 6-in-1 units -- both could not be detected, hung and crashed my Win2000 SP3).

Although twice the size of its predecessor (FlashGO! USB1.1), it's still small enough to be portable. Comes with a vinyl pouch (case) and would fit most shirt pockets. Ideal for use with laptops and not too bulky to carry around. Definitely much faster than the USB 1.1 version.

I bought the iCLick CF card to use with my sandisk card reader to carry around documents and power point presentations. I've never purchased another CF card before. It seems to work great. It downloads/uploads fast and I've never had a problem losing data. I have even dropped it a couple of times and it still retained the information. At the price, you can't beat it.

Worked great on my HP 318 digital camera. I was impressed by the amount of pictures I could take. Haven't had any problems with lost pictures are slow downloads. Reliable product, good price.

This review is based on the non-flash version, but i want to get my hands on this one asap.
The Holga - what to say. A bad plastic lens, somewhat shoddy plastic construction, creates an almost disposable 120 camera. So, why would i give it any stars and own many?
Well, the bad plastic lens can also produce some of the most beautiful images ever. Dreamy looking especially because the edges are so soft and distorted.
Plus using 120 film allows you to actually blow them up some without showing too much grain.

one last note - once, when shooting a wedding, i brought my Holga along for a few fun shots. They came out great, and i actually got more orders for reprints from that roll than any other. Neat.

I got my Holga a couple months ago... I also ordered a Polaroid back for mine... this is by far the coolest camera I have ever owned... the Holga produces unpredictable results and it is a very versatile camera--- it is constructed so that it will accept 120 size film but you can modify the camera to take 35mm film and the result is sprocket hole photography [very cool].
I recommend a google search on the camera... it is advisable to do some research on the camera before getting started.
Spoil yourself and get the Polaroid back for instant gratification.

It si a cheap camera. Plastic body, plastic lense, only two F stops. You might have to tape the batteries in to work. You might have to tape the seams of the body closed to keep light from bleeding through to the film. It is FUN! The pictures are great because they are medium format and not 35mm. You have more area for your composition. Yes, it is cheap and the results can be a bit strange; but it is a fantastic camera and well worth every penny. Take it with you everywhere and take pictures of everything. It is that fun and easy to use.

I LOVE IT! I read the reviews months ago and bought this inexpensive camera for general and web use. I read that the batteries don't last, and I tried (and failed) to find the Sony adapter to prevent undue battery wear. I went through 4 batteries the first day! BUT WAIT! That was March, and I'm still on my second set of batteries without using any kind of adapter. I've probably taken 700 photos with my C200. Two words of advice: 1-close the cover and then reopen it when the battery reads DEAD; it's good for another month (I wasted those first 4 batteries!) at least. 2- get the HP PhotoSmart P1000 Printer ($700 for both before the rebate). You just plug the disc film into the side and the printer does the rest. Great Quality, nice companion for the C200. I read all the reviews here, decided on this combo, and still had no idea how great this would be for me and my family!

Wow! We are very surprised. We bought this digital camera to help us remember the houses we visited as we looked for a home in the Seattle area - after 80 or so houses they really do all start to look the same! It's an outstanding piece of harware.

The camera takes fine pictures up to a goodenough resolution for reviewing on the TV, posting on a website, or pretty much anything apart from blowing them up to poster size.

The battery life which we had thought of as a really serious concern for digital cameras has been outstanding - we filled the supplied CF card (88 images at low resolution) more than 4 times without even having the battery drop from full - including using the flash and the LCD a little. This is pretty much uheard of in a digital camera.

As a starting point for digital cameras I highly recommend this - it has done a fine job for us! The only issue is the slow download to the PC when you have the CF card pretty much full, but that's only a minor quibble.

I am very happy with my camera but I am having a problem with the computer reading the camera for photo imaging. I have the imaging software on my home and work computer but they both say that it cannnot read the camera. I have check everything but it still will not work. Can you help with my problem? Thank you.

I am trying to use this product with an IPAQ 5455 plus expansion pack, but haven't been able to get the Pocket PC drivers to install. Hawking Tech support has not been able to help. If you don't need to install drivers to use this on your set up then you may be ok, otherwise beware

La tarjeta funciono sin mayores inconvenientes en mi ppc con ppc2002, pero al actualizar mi sistema al wm2003 me contacte con los del soporte y me dijeron simplemente que no tenian el driver y que no sabian cuando iban a lanzar un nuevo controlador o incluso me dejo en duda si lo harían. Estoy muy desilucionado con el soporte de hawking technology.

The only reason this didn't get 5 stars is that it could possibly be a little smaller.
That aside, this baby works great. No driver installation or other fiddling required, just plug it in. It runs 100MB in FULL duplex, so it is very fast. I use it in the lab to talk to routers and terminal servers. At home it's a fast way to load SiteScooper web clippings and to save backups.
All in all, an excellent value.
