5 Stars 16G Sony memory stick
The product arrived on schedule and I was able to use it the same evening – it works as expected in both Cybershot and camcorder – saves LOADS of transfer time and adds flexibility to how long i can shoot video or stills without worrying about memory!

5 Stars Memory stick
It was very easy to purchase this product besides been so cheap. I had questions they were answer very promptly.

5 Stars Memory Stick PRO Duo – 16GB
16 GB is becoming more necessary with HD quailty videos, burst shots, etc. By having the extra memory, there’s less need for additional storage options.

Some complain about Sony’s proprietary Memory Stick as being “pricey”. Perhaps, but it is small, extremely reliable, and for me, worth the money. Incidentally, I paid less for the 16GB stick than I paid for a 1 or 2 version several years ago.

Definitely worth the costs when you’ll use it over and over for years.

3 Stars More memory, slow to load
This is a good memory stick, simply because it has a lot more space. But this 8gb card takes so much more time to load than a card with less memory. I purchased this card for a Sony Cybershot camera, and it takes about 30 seconds to load. When you are trying to capture a special moment, you’ll miss it waiting that 30 seconds for the card to load and for the camera to be ready to take a picture.

5 Stars Works with my cybershot
This memory stick works with my Sony Cybershot. That’s what I needed it to do. Now I can take photos. I don’t know what else there is to review on something like this.

5 Stars It’s a battery charger…
It does what it’s supposed to do, it charges Canon BP series batteries. I have tried this with 3 different batteries (BP-807, BP-808, BP-819) and all charge fine. A must have item, if you plan on properly maintaining your batteries. Beware of imitations that don’t contain the appropriate charging circuitry.

5 Stars A must have!!!
The battery that comes with the Canon HG20 is okay. This battery does give me a lot more hours to play with. The only thing that I don’t like is that it is a bit expensive. If you are going on a vacation or something like that then I do recommend getting this battery since it holds more power for longer recording time.

5 Stars Canon battery charger quick and efficient
The charger was compact, easy to transport, and quickly recharged the larger battery pack purchased to go with the Canon Vixia HG20.

5 Stars Works Great
This charger plugs right into the wall with the battery pack attached – so there are no wires or long cords to deal with. Great product & easy to use.

5 Stars Slick
Works as advertised. I use it when I am taping my son’s Ultimate Frisbee games. I can plug it into my car inverter and charge a battery while I am using another. It is compact and the plug folds away…no cords to mess with. The battery snaps into place in the charger…plug it in and wait for the light to change color on the charger…done. Very happy with it.

5 Stars Great camera.
This camera is great and really easy to use. The software that comes with it is pretty intimidating, but I only point-and-shoot then upload. Great zoom and quality pictures.

5 Stars Small Excellent camera for indoor and outdoor pictures
I had Canon SD450(5.1 Mega Pixel) camera earlier and it was getting old. So I was looking for replacement for a reasonable price. I think SD890IS is good find for 10Meg Pixel and 5X optical zoom. On our recent California and Nevada trip I used this camera for all time. In Disneyland it captured motion perfectly in background which I had issue in my old Canon camera. I am impress with photo click in night mode in LV. It was fun to carry to camera in your pocket. I will recommend anyone to buy big size SD card so that you can click/capture video for 3-4 days without any problem

Pros:

1) Small size

2) Long bettery life

3) Faster clicking compare to my earlier canon camera

4) Motion capturing

5) High resolution

6) 2.5 inch LCD viewfinder.

7) 5X optical zoom. I had 3X in old one. More is better in this case but large may increase the weight. So I think 5X is good enough to take indoor and outdoor pictures for any roadtrip.

8)Canon. Why because most of the people wherever we visted in CA and NV they were using Canon. I did not had to educate them on how to operate this camera. Its easy right.

Cons:

1) I had hard time clicking ON and OFF this camera. May be they go to make little soft button for ON/OFF switch

2) This camera is little wider and bigger then old one. I thought as technology grows they should make slim cameras.

3) No touchscreen on LCD. I think Canon should have one of this feature like SONY or others are making it.

Overall I found this camera is flawless for such low price. I think its reasonable under this market condition when you can buy camera for less then 200 bucks. Good luck everyone for your shopping.

4 Stars A Significant Flaw
In general I love this camera, however I will send it back and get another model. The on/off switch is a little piece of plastic that is flush with the camera body. I have been using my fingernail to push it. Obviously, it will break, crack, or just be pushed in where it is no longer flush with the body…..Yes, it’s the worst on/off switch I’ve ever seen on what is otherwise a wonderful camera. Canon will have many of these sent in for repair sometime in the future, so they should be prepared…thank you for the opportunity write this review.

4 Stars Kingston 8 GB SDHC card
I couldn’t use this card as my phone only takes a 4 GB, so they are sending me two fours.

5 Stars Works like a charm
Kingston 8 GB microSDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SDC4/8GB

Perfect for storing large amounts of music on your Blackberry Curve.

1 Star D.O.A.
I bought this card to be used in a cell phone. I tried it in the cell phone, my blackberry, a Canon camera, and my PC’s card reader, but none of them would recognize it as a viable drive. It was D.O.A. right out of the package. I probably got one of the small percentage of these devices that are produced with a defect, but I have had good luck with SanDisk so I will return this Kingston card and reorder.

5 Stars Good Value & Great Product
The kingston 4gb. works just as well as the more expensive brands. I use mine in my digital camera, cell phone, and laptop. They are great for pics. and music. I can never have too many. I haven’t have any problems; you just have to format them…not an issue.

5 Stars Works on HTC Fuze
Since most phones now a days except for Sony Ericsson’s use a micro SD card as the expansion slot, this was the best card for the budget. It worked with no hiccups on my new HTC Fuze from at&t. I’ve had it for about a month now and it’s going strong. Never had a write error. Speed seems fine for a pocket PC, although i haven’t compared this to a class 6 memory card.

Bottom line: Good amount of memory for the price.

4 Stars Works
Takes a charge, works in device – how long the power lasts remains to be seen, but at the price if it approximates 75% of the OEM battery I’ll be satisfied.

4 Stars Works!
Well, what can I say, it works! Don’t know whether it’s better, the same, or worse than the stock battery. I just alternated the batteries each day and then used the camera. One didn’t seem better than the other. In fact, to be honest, unless you do a TON of diving and recording I’m not 100% sure you’ll even need the extra battery. I shot a LOT of underwater video and never got the “low battery” message. But I guess it’s not a bad idea to be prepared.

5 Stars It works the same as the original Sanyo battery
I made a 2 1/2 hours non stop video taping yesterday, the original Sanyo battery low signal came out around 55 minutes, and die around 75 minutes. this battery came out around 55 minutes after I put it into my Sanyo Xacti camera, die around 75 minutes too.

5 Stars good backup battery
I bought this for a Sanyo Xacti E2. I haven’t done any rigid testing to compare against the original Sanyo battery’s life, but I also didn’t notice any difference in battery life while using it. Highly recommended as a solid backup battery.

4 Stars Fits VPC-e2!
I’ve bought a few DB-L20 “compatible” batteries to work with my xacti vpc-e2. NONE of them worked. They were all slightly too large and became lodged in my camera. It took pliers to remove them!

So when I saw this battery I was skeptical becuse it doesn’t flat out say that it is compatible with the vpc-e2. I saw a review that said it works with it, so I thought I would give it a try…

It fits! So if you own a vpc-e2 and don’t want to spend $40 for an official sanyo battery, i recommend it! It actually slides in and out better than the stock battery. I haven’t checked how long it holds a charge yet, so I can’t comment on that. I’m just happy I found a battery that fits!
