GE JasHO97936 10-in-1 Card Reader/Writer2007-02-11
I have no comparison basis, but this Card Reader/Writer works fine with my computer and all types of cards I have used in it.
Okay, original drivers flaky, but...2005-03-17
GE does not actually manufacture Consumer Electronics (according to their website). The Consumer Electronics division is farmed out.

The GE Reader uses PHISON chipset. Updated drivers are available here [...]
The chipset in mine is the Pen Drive 1.0 Series PS1006(C) chipset.

The reader chassis is a snap together case. You can open it with your fingernails and check out the universal USB interface chipset.

I highly suggest using the NEW drivers for the PS1006 chip released 08-Sep-2004 version : v1.29r000 for Win98 (5.5 MB ZIP File)

Hope this helps? Had to research this after reinstalling Win98 and loosing my install CD. :)
Awesome Product!!!2004-08-15
This is a wonderful product for transferring images to the computer from a memory card! I cannot believe how simple it is! I'll never go back to connecting the camera to the computer again! GREAT PRODUCT!!!!
Don't buy this!2004-08-12
I got this thing as a wedding gift. I attempted to use it after returning from my honeymoon. It completely corrupted the memory card and of the 80 pictures on the card, only 12 were readable. The camera then could no longer read them either. It's bad enough that it destroyed a $30 memory card, but it lost all of my honeymoon pictures which are irreplaceable. I've had some poor products before, but this one goes down as the worst of all time.
Reads and writes well but cable connector gets loose.2004-07-20
It reads and writes well, tried it with compact flash cards and memory stick, and both work without a hitch, but only if the connector at the back of the device can hang on to the cable. It may be a bad piece I got, may not be a problem with all of them but I'll let you decide. And you should be ok if you have 1 card to read/write. From day one, the connector was loose, so after you very carefully get 1 card in and read from it, when you try to remove the card to put in a second one the cable comes loose the moment you touch it, and the computer thinks you have ejected the hardware. Then it wont recognize the device again till you reboot(logout and login again doesnt work).

Finding the Right Digital Camera
By Dave Etchells Finding the Right Digital Camera The overall goal of the Imaging Resource website (www.imaging-resource.com) is to help people chose and use digital imaging technology as effectively as possible. As simple as they are to use, choosing the right digital camera involves a number of decisions. Key issues are computing platform, image quality, onboard image capacity, exposure versatility, feature set, and included software. In this article, we'll lead you step-by-step through some of the issues to consider in making a purchase decision, and at the same time, suggest some things to look for in the test images we've collected on our website. We're interested in your feedback and experience! We invite you to elaborate on this article by leaving comments via the database link at the bottom of the page.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
