Flashe Reviews

Are you looking for a reliable compact multi card reader? Look no further. This usb 2.0 card reader reads and writes CompactFlash (CF), Secure Digital (SD), Multimedia (MMC) and SmartMedia cards plus Memory Sticks and IBM Microdrives. I've used the CF, SD, and SmartMedia slots many times and have never had any problems. I use it on my Windows XP, and the card reader uses Mass Storage Compliance technology so there is no need for drivers. Just plug it in and transfer your files faster than you can dream of compared to direct link from your digi cam or pda.

I have a Vivitar 283 (a great flash unit), was looking for a low cost, throw around flash unit. This one fit the bill.
Low cost, adjustable tilt head, 200 flashes per set of 4 AA batteries, thyristor circuitry, 2 automatic settings plus manual setting, all with a 10 year warranty! Can't beat that for [the money]!

I was bored of waiting for my PDA or camera to do all the "dirty work" of being my go-between to get to the information in them.

This device is really nice, I installed it with no problems at all, heck, WinXP didn't even need drivers!

It reads every different card type as a different drive. It's faster than my camera or PDA and I have no qualms about recommending this to anyone!

I have extremely poor vision that gets worse in darkened conditions. I found that this little LED "flashlight" is powerful and extremely useful. It always stays within reach on my key chain, and I use it every night.
The Lithium batteries lasted me for a more than a year of hard daily use before needing to be replaced. It is very useful in when trying to see a menu in dimly lit restaurants, but remember to cover about 75% of the LED, as to not disturb others. People like myself who absolutely need to see in these settings (i.e. diabetics who need to check glucose levels at meal time) it becomes indispensable. The light is extremely useful when I navigate for my wife in the car. The light does not disturb her like the dome light.

I purchased one for a friend who is a pilot, since the red light does not effect his night vision; he now keeps an extra one on hand, just in case.
Other uses:
The red light emitted from the LED, can not be seen by deer, which makes useful for hunters in their stands while waiting for light or as backup for a flashlight.

Auto, boat, camping / hiking emergency or survival kit. The LED can be seen for some distance in the dark if looking directly at the source. If you point the light downward, the illumination is not noticeable.

The only con is that the red light does not give much contrast. I have a green light that provides more contrast, but it's hard on the eyes.

This little thing works excatly like a floppy disc or CD-RW. When you plug it in, an F: drive is instantly created and opened. You can store any type of file - just like with CDs. The files are transfered much faster than floppys or CDs, though. If you have songs or word documents saved, you don't need to copy them to the hard drive to open or play them - they'll play right of the jumpdrive.

This thing is cool. I keep it on my keychain - it's not much larger or heavier than a carkey - and take it everywhere. If I'm at a friends house and he has a cool picture that he's taken, I can instantly get a copy for myself. Or I can save songs, and play them on someone else's computer. If you use more than one computer, this is even better. You can save things you're wroking on to this drive, and then have access to them wherever you go. Or, if you share a computer, this is sweet, to. You don't have to store your documents where anyone can find them - you can keep them on your keychain.

Which leads to the next point. You can password-protect a certain portion of the space on your jumpdrive - you choose how do divide the private and public sections.

So in conclusion, this thing is cool.

This card holds A LOT of images. Not only that, but if you register it online, you get a free adapter for hooking it up to your computer without using the camera as a middleman. Lexar's shipping on the cable is pretty fast. There may be cheaper 256MB cards available, but stick with this one. It's incredibly fast.

This is the perfect size compact flash card! On standard resolution I can take about 125 photos....I can also take lots and lots of video clips. I am very impressed w/ Lexar's quality, and would buy from them again!

This 48Mb card filled to capacity with ~150 pics takes less time to download to my PC than the 8Mb Kodak card that comes with the Kodak DC240. Beware that the Jumpshot cable works only with USB enabled Compactflash cards. It is the easiest way to download pics from your Lexar Media cards, but not a replacement for a compacflash card reader.

Without the picture I wasn't convinced that this was actually going to be what it said it was, or maybe they'd cancel the order and say there was a mistake on the price... Nope. The box says "High-Speed Professional Digital Film with Write Acceleration". It had the 24x 512MB Type II (thinner) CompactFlash card with case. Image Rescue software installers for Mac OS X and Windows are on the card. Also inside the box was a JumpShot USB CF card reader (I already had a SanDisk one, but it's good to have an extra). See [...] for more info. Anyway, I was originally looking at the 16X 256MB card for about [$$$], and got this for [...] which seems pretty amazing. Initial observation with the PowerShot S30 was that it was writing images a lot faster than my plain SanDisk 128MB.

I bought this same type of a CF card and took it on a trip, i took over 358 pictures and it never even filled up 75% of the space , i had to change my batteries about 6 times, i use the E/2 batts they are great but expensive.
I highly recommend this product..
