Digital camera reviews of SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader SDDR-89-A15
Digital camera Review: DOES NOT WORK WITH VISTA
Summary: 1 Stars
If you use XP and not Vista, I highly recommend this device. I would have given it 5 stars if it was compatible. I am giving it 1 star, because it is not clearly labelled on the package or on this product page. This is the first item I am having to return.Digital camera Review: Defective product
Summary: 2 Stars
My son took my card reader to college. I replace it with this one. Worked fine for my CompactFlash ll but when I used my wife's SD card it wouldn't read it. Although I discovered this after the 30 day return time, Amazon agreed to replace it.Digital camera Review: Dependable, Effortless to Set Up, and By the Way, It's Technically a 13-in-1
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sandisk ImageMate memory reader provides limitless flexibility with the myriad formats out there in today's market for digital content. Say goodbye to any worries that you won't be able to copy pictures from a relative's camera or share content with a friend's PSP - the ImageMate covers all of the formats available at this time.
This broad compatibility includes the absolutely tiny MicroSD (sometimes called TransFlash) cards that are used by navigation systems and leading-edge phones. These MicroSD cards use an adapter which bumps them up to the dimensions of a standard SD card. The adapters claim universal compatibility, but my other reader (only three years old!) didn't recognize them at all. However, the ImageMate picked it up with no problem. Hence, the 13-in-1 tag.
Setup is very easy - I received true plug-and-play for Windows XP and was using the ImageMate in a very short amount of time. There is an included disc of drivers and support software as well as a trial of Adobe's highly-regarded Photoshop Elements software. The ImageMate does not require its own power suppy, so there's no need to forgo another device in order to clear space on your surge protector.
Operation is straightforward as well. Whenever you insert media into the reader, your PC assigns it a drive letter and you can then use it like any other destination.
The product picture does the unit a disservice, making it look much bigger than it really is. The ImageMate is roughly the size of a PDA and fits in the palm of your hand. It can be laid flat on your desk (in which case rubber feet will hold it in place) or else mounted in the included vertical docking cradle. USB cables are included for both configurations.
The Sandisk ImageMate 12-in-1 does everything that a reader should do - you just plug it in and then take it for granted. If only all computer peripherals were so straightforward.
PROS
* All-encompassing compatibility (including the MicroSD/Transflash card not listed in the description) handles all of your devices
* Easily set up via plug-and-play
* Small and portable
CONS
* In the off-chance that you do run into problems, Sandisk's customer service is capable of nothing more than reading the product manual to you.
Digital camera Review: Did not work with both of my computers
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this unit and with my desktop and laptop and after installing the cd (which the direcions say u should) it would not work at all. Occassionally, there would be blinks of the light going off but then it would die. I dont know whether this was a defective unit or its just did not work, but i returned it within an hour. I checked the Sandisk website and after following the directions the technical support gave me it still didn't work. I own a dell inspiron 8600 and a cyberpower system.Digital camera Review: Digital Memory Card Reader
