Customer Reviews:

Now dead.......2007-03-16

Worked great for 14 months using a Nikon 2Dx, at 14 months completely died- camera and computer will not recognize. Lost 6 gigs of photos and wasted money on card. Contacted customer support at Hitachi and they said, "Its out of warranty. Nothing we can do."

Great For Digitals.......2007-01-04

This is great for digital cameras who take CF cards. With megapixel ratings climbing higher all the time, those pictures take up a lot of space, especially if you are like me and have an itchy shutter finger. The card is fast and durable, and I have never had a single problem after one year of ownership. I am currently using it in my Canon 350D (Rebel XT) which has an 8-megapixel sensor. If you shoot in RAW, you definately need this card, maybe two! Here are the stats that I know of:

Rebel XT
- 2000 JPG of higest setting
- about 625 RAW

The general conversion factor is that one 8-megapixel shot at fine is about 3 + kilobytes.

I have also used this in PDAs, as a small external hard drive to holder photos and music, and as a file trasport device, and it works jsut wonderfuly. You can't really go wrong with this little guy, and I reccomend him to anyone.

After 40k Shots, 2 Cameras, and 1.5 Years.......2006-09-24

After 40,000 shots, 2 cameras, 1.5 years and many drops, this chip still performs perfectly. I've used it heavily and aggressively and have had a great experience at a great price. Its almost as fast in write speeds but slower in read speeds during computer upload. There are some myths about the chip that its slow and fragile, which I'll explain below is just totally wrong.

Speed:

On my old Canon 20D, I got its full claimed buffer in RAW and JPEG. On my newer Canon 5D (12.8 megapixel), I get 17 instead of the 19 claimed RAW pictures during continuous shooting, and I pretty much can't run out the JPEG (well over 50). I've used the Sandisk II, and after some testing, I found that the write speed was almost the same, but the read speed is about 1/3 slower when loading onto the computer. Not a big deal, since the write speed is a bigger priority while shooting. Yesterday, I loaded the whole 4gb chip into Apple Aperture in 14 minutes.

Space:

On the 20D or 30D, you'll get almost 500 in RAW, but on my 5D, I get under 280, so I'm now shopping around for a 8gb chip. You might try the 6gb rather than the 4gb since its getting cheaper.

The "Fragile" Myth:

People always say that the microdrive is more "fragile" than the compact flash, which I can say with absolute certainty is B.S. Most people who criticize the microdrive have never used it or known anyone who used it - last time I checked, judging without knowing is called ignorance, no offense.

Anyway, I shoot my college football team, for the college newspaper, and frequently I do landscape and wildlife photography, so I'm frequently taking the chip in and out of my camera and dropping it on occasion. I've have used the camera at 20 degrees, in the hot and humid Florida sun, and have had a light sunshower, but yet the chip keeps going after 1.5 years.

Other Microdrives:

All microdrives are made by Hitachi, even from Sony. Hitachi bought the division from IBM a few years back, and Hitachi will sell under other names for more market share. Don't waste your money on stupid brand image, just buy the one you find cheaper, which is probably the Hitachi.

I can't fill it up!.......2005-09-21

No i'm not being payed for this review, i just love this microdrive. I use it in my Nikon D70s digital SLR camera and I've never filled it up even half way. I can take nearly 2000 full quality Jpegs every time and I dump them on my computer every time i have like 200 or so. On my trip to the Grand Canyon I took something like 700 pictures so this is a VERY good drive for the $250 i dropped for it here at AMAzon.com. Don't be fooled by camera dealers claiming that this card won't work in your camera or something (I know I did when I was waiting for it to arrive) they just want to sell you a VERY EXPENSIVE "high speed" card. forget those. Buy this, you won't regret it. IF you do or it doesn't work in your camera or some thing, AMAZON has a very hassle free return policy. GREAT ITEM!

Takes a hit and keeps on working.......2005-09-20

It says, plainly, on the information that comes with the Hitachi 6-gig microdrive that you should not drop it onto hard surfaces.
Oops!
My fumble-fingers let the microdrive fall three feet to a hard floor. It was full of images. I feared the worst.

Nothing happened. It still works and much faster than any of my other CF cards. Faster than the best Lexars.

Now, I'm not going to intentionally go around dropping the mdrive and I hope I never let it take a pocket-ride through the washer, but it's holding up well, so far.

I'm ready to buy more.

Not happy about this phone.......2004-09-02

I bought this phone two weeks ago. Each time I tried pressing the talk button on the handset to place a call, I would get a message "Try Again" on the screen. So I am not able to use this phone. The worse is that the technical support from Northwestern is very poor. I tried to call them many times. I have not been able to get through. And they don't answer messages I left there. I tried email. I got a reply after four days. But the reply is not helpful. Anyway, I am very disappointed with the phone and their services.

Northwestern Bell Excursion 36257.......2004-08-20

(...). I got this phone because of electrical interference and this solved the problem fine. The ONLY thing I have a problem with this phone (as with most ALL LCD phones) is it doesn't have any back lite and it's really hard to see who's calling. As far as the volume problem stated in another review, the highest setting seems to be loud enough for me personally.

leave it at the store.......2002-11-01

the volume on this phone is not very good at all.
I cannot hear anyone very well. It isn't extremely user friendly either. This phone is fairly worthless because I cannot use it at all because the volume is awful. What good is a 2.5 mghz phone when you can't even hear someone. The page isn't very load either. I rate my old 900 mghz phone better because at least I could hear someone talking on it.

Customer Reviews:

By far the best night vision buy under 500 bucks..........2000-08-07

I've checked out various night vision brands out there, and for my money none of them come close to these Night Owl binoculars. Not only do they look good. They work great. Fact is, as soon as you grab the rubberized barrels, you notice how good they feel in your hands. And then you take'em out at night. And lo and behold, it's like you've just discovered a whole new world out there - the nocturnal world. So, what do I particularly like about these? I like the fact that they have these really wide lenses. You get a really nice, wide field of view in these. I've checked out other brands, but unless you're willing to shell out a couple of grand-at least, you won't get nearly the quality as these. Oh, did I mention the mirrored lenses? I haven't actually noticed this feature on other night scopes, but what these do supposedly is that they help improve the light transmission. And I know come August when it gets real humid, I'll appreciate the weather-resistant feature too.
