Panasonic SDHC: Buy it or NOT?

Advantages: Comes with a plastic container, it promises a speed of 10MB/s
Disadvantages: 4GB actually correspond to 3.6GB, it is also quite pricey

...I only recently bought a new Canon camera (which I previously reviewed) therefore I immediately needed a high capacity SD card but I knew nothing about this format so I went to indagate a bit. I'm sure you all know that SDHC are an extension of the SD standard and its name stands for Secure Digital High Capacity (often also called SD 2.0). Practically they allow capacities of more than 2GB. Now this was all new to me and on Wikipedia I went to look for more info concerning their speed and performances. and this is what I found out: SD Speed Class Ratings SDHC cards have SD Speed Class Ratings defined by the SD Association. The SD Speed Class Ratings specify the following minimum write speeds based on "the best fragmented state where no memory unit is occupied": * Class 2: 2 MB/s * Class 4: 4 MB/s * Class 6...

Review of Panasonic RP-SDM04GB CLASS4 SDHC 4096 MB

* Pick a card - any card . .

Advantages: Cheap, very good too.
Disadvantages: Easy to lose them.

...These cards are 4 GB SDHC flash memory cards, made by Kingston, SDHC being short for Secure Digital High Capacity, They are suitable for all digital devices like:- cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players etc. I have tried to get onto the website, but with no luck, I will try again later. These cards are in solid state, and they are simply a storage system for information, that is all there is to it. The price is very competitive, this is because they are now made with a capacity of 12 MB, so the little 4 MB ones are a little dated, however this makes them very reasonable in price. you can expect to pay up to £18, you can get them for less from various companies online, just remember some firms charge an arm and a leg for postage, packing, and insurance. You can buy them in the high street shops but at a higher price. These are...

Crucial 4GB USB drive

Advantages: backup, save important work, easy to transfer work or files from one pc to another
Disadvantages: none

...This Crucial Gizmo is great for anyone looking to backup there files up to 4GB. I have had this device for over a year now and it?s been great. You can save anything from pictures, music, videos, Photoshop files, pretty much anything you can think of really to this device. I backed up a few file drivers from one PC and placed them on to another PC, which worked great. This saved the hassle of writing a CD with the files I needed to place on to another PC which I would have probably only used once as well. This device is basically like having 6 CDS worth of data on or just under. The device is really easy to use, you basically plug the device into the USB slot and go to my computer, and where it says Devices and removable storage your device name will be listed e.g. Crucial. All you do from there is open up the storage device...

Review of Archos Gmini XS100 4 GB

Sony NWZ-E436 4GB

Advantages: Easy to use, long battery life
Disadvantages: Small capacity

...The first I want to say about this product is how long the battery lasts. I was playing around with this thing for a whole 2 days without the battery even going down under half. I later realised that the battery life was up to 45hours which is pretty incredible, considering it is longer than the Ipod touch. So 4GB may not seem to much to a lot of people, but for those who don't have a HUGE music collection, but want just enough to be able to store a few hundred tracks, this mp3 player has an ideal capacity. There is no easy sync like on Ipod but many find it easier to drag and drop songs that they want onto the mp3 rather than the problem that occurs when and Ipod can randomly start syncing with the wrong music! This product is very thin and lightweight as well so you will hardly notice it in your pocket. It also supports...

Nano 4GB

Advantages: Tiny
Disadvantages: Scared it will snap!

...the prove invaluable and after the first few days you will wonder how you lived without, especially if you use public transport or walk to work or school. Also great for walking the dog or at the gym! Most places are selling the 4GB for £179 and the Mini 6GB for £169 so its only 10 pounds more but obviously doesn't hold as many songs. Overall I would definately recommend getting one - just try not to leave it in your back pocket!!...

Review of Apple iPod nano 4 GB

iPod Nano 4 GB Silver

Advantages: Fits easily into your pocket, battery life is superb.
Disadvantages: fiddly control wheel. Screen scratches easily.

...After owning many MP3 players in the past, i finally ended up with an iPod. I've never been a fan of the iPod, as i have always felt that they were expensive and just a style accessory. I received my iPod 4GB Nano for Christmas 2007. When i took off the wrapping, i was very surprised at how small the packaging was. Just a little clear plastic box with enough space to hold the iPod Nano itself, USB lead, headphones and some simple instructions. Im a big fan of small packaging and don't like to see items with alot of wastage packaging so I was very pleased with how the iPod was packaged. When i took out the iPod Nano, i was surprised at how slim it was, and also it is very light. I don't even notice it in my pocket unlike other MP3 players i have had in the past which have been on the bulky side. I needed to charge it via the pc and USB...

Review of Apple iPod Nano video 4GB Third Generation

I-Pod Nano 4GB

Advantages: Video Playback
Disadvantages: None

...The I-Pod Nano 4GB is an excellent mp3 player. I paid £99 for my one of these but you can sometimes get them cheaper. It was worth every penny as this mp3 player can do pretty much anything. With up to 24 hours of music playback and 5 hours of video playback you cant ask for much more than that. The I-Pod Nano is so easy to use. You can browse by artist, genre, album and much more. You can even browse by the album front cover and flip the cover to see the track listing. You can use the click wheel to adjust the volume to your liking. The I-Pod Nano makes your music look as good as it sounds with its brand new features. It has a very bright screen, which makes it all look much nicer. You can put thousands of TV shows on your I-Pod Nano, which are available to download directly from your I-Tunes online store. You can download thousands...

My Sandisk Ultra II 4GB

Advantages: Fast, Cheap
Disadvantages: Lack of backwards compatability

...I bought the Sandisk Ultra II 4GB card after purchasing my new 14.6mp camera, which produces RAW files of around 12-14mb! I clearly needed an upgrade because my older 2GB SD cards could only store 70 photos. I wanted a card that would combine speed, capacity, and value for money - and so I landed at the Class 4 Sandisk SDHC Ultra II 4GB card. I've had experience with Sandisk before, and wanted to stick with them especially after I found out that this card has a lifetime limited warranty, and has been tested to be compatible with a large range of high-end digital cameras. The Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB card (Which I will now refer to as "The card" to save any confusion), has read speeds of 10mb/sec, and write speeds of 9mb/sec, producing an excellent performance on my camera. Previously when I used my older 2GB card, I didnt have...
