Flash Reviews

I can't help but think that SanDisk had Uniden's PC100 series (UniPro) PDA's in mind when they made this card. This type-II CF card automatically appeared as a "Storage Card" in the UniPro (a Windows CE palm-sized PC) when I first plugged it in and stores programs and data alike. It's power drain seems virtually insignificant on the two "AA" batteries that run the unit. Of course it's noticeably slower storing to the Storage Card than RAM, but the permanent (static RAM) nature of the data more than makes up for it. Ranks right up there with an Ethernet CF card as most useful add-on device!

The SanDisk 160MB Compact Flash Card is one of the best things I ever bougth for my digital camera. I am the editor of my school newspaper and we can use this Flash Card up to 4 weeks ans still have place for more pictures. It's very handy espesaly when you don't have your computer next to you. Best for travelers.

This flashcard came with my new digital camera. It worked OK twice and then my printer with a flash card reader built in and my computer failed to recognize the card or that it had images on it. Don't buy this junk. I purchased a 128MB card form Viking and have not had any problems at all. A flashcard made by Viking is also much cheaper.

This card works fine (it is just a flash card), but there are other options out there that are less expensive. Make sure you are well informed before purchasing (I wish I would have been).

Also, make sure that you are purchasing the right memory for your camera or MP3 player. I made the mistake of ordering the wrong type of card for my brother-in-law's birthday. He received a new digital camera but an incompatible card.

Solution? Use the new Amazon Memory Finder or double and triple check the memory specifications. BTW the Memory Finder uses Viking Components products. They seem to have a good reputation and actually a little lower prices than Sandisk, too.

I've had nothing but good luck with SanDisk cards. I've just started into the digital photography realm, but my experience has been very positive so far. Most complaints seem to regard formatting issues, but in many cases this can be easily handled by checking compatibility and the formatting options for the individual camera.

I've had this card for about 1 year, and it still works fine in my Kodak DX4330 camera -- which I've used a lot. 99% of the time I haven't had a problem with this card. Also, SanDisk phone support is excellent!

However, make sure that you can "review" a photo after taking it ... otherwise it means that something has gone wrong and the file is corrupted. Also FYI -- "Unrecognized file format" means that you've run out of memory while recording a video, and the video is lost :( This card only allows 3-4 minutes of video, and if there are photos in the card then the video time allotment is even shorter.

One of the "must-haves" for digital cameras is the ability to store a significant number of pictures. The SanDisk 128Mb card provided the ability to store over 700, which was adequate for our upcoming two-week vacation.

Why the SanDisk? I checked out compatibility (actually, the Kodak DX3600 required an upgrade to provide support for this product), and reviewed the ... organization's site ... . The dollars/megabyte, from one of the bigger manufacturers, was right. A five-year warranty closed the deal for me. Finally, it's proven itself reliable for the past few months. NO problems whatsoever.

About a year ago, I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 950 digital camera. The "wimpy" 8 MB CompactFlash card that came with the unit would only hold one (1) uncompressed, high-resolution picture - I needed more. I started looking and found this; the SanDisk 128 MB CompactFlash. I read on the Nikon technical support web page that SanDisk is the OEM for Nikon's CompactFlash cards, so I felt pretty safe selecting this card. The only question I had was "would my Coolpix 950 work with a card this large?" The answer is a resounding YES! (according to friends, it will work in the new Coolpix 990 also)

The card formatted in the camera perfectly and has simply worked for the past nine months. I shoot all pictures in high resolution with a moderate compression level, allowing me to store more than 110 - 2.1 MegaPixel pictures in the camera - plenty for me. Recently, we took a five-day trip to Disney World - this card captured ALL of our pictures perfectly. If you get this, check out one of the USB card readers as well - the serial connection is just way too slow for transferring this much data.

Executive Summary: Buy it now.

These cards are just amazing considering their size and capacity. I am using this 128MB Compact Flash card in my Canon S230 Digital Elph camera- 3.2 megapixels. The 128MB card is perfect for my purposes. I currently have 114 still photos and 3 short video clips stored and am still going. I've erased lots of pictures, downloaded to my computer, and printed on my computer and my HP 100 printer (with no computer connection.) I've encountered no problems and the quality of my photos is excellent. Although I've only had this card for a short time I have a SmartMedia card by SanDisk that has been used repeatedly for a year now and still functions beautifully. These may be expensive at first but they last.

This camera has many features that others don't.The price is reasonable and the camera is very appealing to the eye.The only thing I don't like about the camera is when the film is advancing it's a bit too loud. Other than that I love this camera.

May I recommend that the user, who complained about the red-eye effect not working, tha he / she checks the camera setting? If it is not on the regular -A- setting, red eye feature doesn't work. Other settings include sports, landscape and etc.. (One good thing about this camera is its multi-functions and features, which can be bad for people who get confused and frustrated easily - I am one of them)

I can understand the frustration of the buyer who gave one star because of poor reliability. I have experienced similar cases in the past when buying electronics, but not with this camera. It has been money-well-spent and the first battery I put in, it lasted more than two years (I took at least more than 300 shots with the first battery). If you have more money, I recommend Evoca 170 which gives you more range.

I can easily say that Samsung Evoca 140S is the best point-and-shoot camera I have ever used.

The pros and cons of this camera in my opinion are as follows:

(+) The camera is very small and extremely lightweight. Samsung has done an excellent job in squeezing loads of features in such a small space.

(+) Variety of shooting modes: I won't list every shooting mode here and take your time (you can check them out in product details), but it has *a lot* of shooting modes for a point-and-shoot camera, including panaromic mode. When taking a panaromic shot, the camera adjusts the viewfinder so that you can actually see the shot in panaromic mode before shooting (didn't see this feature in many cameras).

(+) Flash modes: Evoca140 has a number of flashing modes. To me, the most important 'flash features' were: 1) red-eye reduction, and 2) the ability to take photos at night. Red-eye reduction works perfectly (didn't have a single red-eye in about 30 rolls), and the flash is powerful enough to take good pictures at night. When using a flash is impossible (for example, when taking a photo of a distant object at night), you can use the bulb mode to take beautiful pictures (However, make sure that you have a tripod for this).

(+) Power save: I don't really know if this is a common feature among point-and-shoot cameras, but, I like the 'power save' feature of this camera. It shuts itself down after 30 seconds if there is no user interaction.

(+) The 4x zoom works perfectly: The clarity and color of pictures were perfect in the entire 38-140mm range.

(-) The only drawback in my opinion is the buttons on the top side of the camera (which are used for flash modes / date-time / captioning etc). They are very small and a little hard to push. Forget about adjusting the flash mode when you have your gloves on :) But given the size of the camera, I probably shouldn't complain about the size of the buttons.

To summerize: Given the price of Evoca 140S, it is an excellent buy for a point-and-shoot camera.

I recieved my card yesterday and am very happy with the preformance. The card was very cheap compaired to others. It came in very good packaging along with an unexpected freebee. A hard plastic case to keep your extra card in. The case is a locking type that craddles your card too keep dust out and soften blows from drops or bangs. I would recommend this card to anyone who is looking for a low-priced digital camera compact flash card.

The RCA 16MB CompactFlash Memory Card is a useful tool for capturing those multimedia moments. It is affordable and compact making it a great deal. It's small size allows for handy storage. The CompactFlash products are used in many products making it the best choice.

I have never seen a price this low for a 128MB Conpact Flash memory card! For [item price] it's amazing. You might think that the producer compromised quality for price, but I have seen no evidence of this so far. I love it because it holds the perfect ammount of pictures and videos on it.
