Sandisk Sansa Clip MP3 Player 
By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Timothy_S._Hillebrand,_Ph.D." >Timothy S. Hillebrand, Ph.D.</a>

Having just written an article about downloading free eAudiobooks from public libraries, I tried a number of devices for this purpose. The most important attribute is that the player has the ability to bookmark so that you can continue where you left off when listening to eAudiobooks. If your player does not have this feature, listening to audiobooks become a cumbersome chore as you have to fast forward manually.Unfortunately, Windows Mobile devices equipped with Microsoft's Media Player do not have the ability to bookmark. However, there are several third party applications that will allow you to bookmark on a WM device.I tested quite a few MP3 players that would player audiobooks just fine, but without bookmarking capabilities. Make certain that you find an MP3 player that offers this feature. One of my favorites is the Sandisk Sansa Clip MP3 player. The earlier versions of the Clip do not bookmark. But, it is a simple matter of updating the firmware with a download from the Sandisk Website to overcome this problem. You can even download a utility that automatically updates your device everytime you sync it. The latest release of the Clip has bookmarking capability built-in.The Clip measures approximately 2 1/8 x 1 3/8 x 3/8 inches and weighs a mere ounce. It's name is derived from the detachable clip on the back that allows you to attach easily to your clothing. We've all seen elaborate attachment systems that are ugly and awkward. The Clip is a great solution for this universal problem.It comes in a variety of colors for the fashion conscious including silver, black, blue, pink, and red. It ranges in memory from 1 GB to 4 GB and ranges in price from $39.95 to $79.39 according to memory. It will accommodate from 500 to 2000 songs. Unfortunately, it does not have an expansion slot so that you are restricted to the onboard memory.This MP3 player has a number of other welcome features. It plays MP3, WMA, and WMA file formats. It is also an FM radio tuner with 40 presets. It has an internal rechargeable battery that gives up to 15 hours of service. The Clip is also a voice recorder with a built-in microphone so that it makes a nice little memo taker. Sorry, you cannot view photos or watch videos on the diminutive Clip.It requires Windows XP SP2 or Vista operating systems and connects via a USB mini-port cable, which I appreciate because it means that you have to pack fewer cables when you are on the road. I wish that mini-USB connectors were universal. No goofy proprietary connectors allowed!
 In the box, you get the player, a detachable clip, a USB cable, earphones, quick start guide, and an installation CD with user guide.The Clip is one of the smallest MP3 players available. It's array of color choices make it attractive choice and a good value for money with its convenient clip attachment system. My only wish would be that it have an expansion slot.It is available at many electronic retailers online and off. Or, you can buy it directly from Sandisk at <a target="_new" href="http://www.sandisk.com">http://www.sandisk.com</a>Timothy Hillebrand, Ph.D. is a retired archaeologist and windows mobile expert who writes for Smartphone & Pocket PC magazine and several other publications.

Choosing the Best Memory Card For Your Digital Camera 
By <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Steve_Denton" >Steve Denton</a>

Which brand of memory card should I buy? Does it make a difference? How big of a card do I need? Is one large card better than multiple small cards? Does the speed rating of the card matter? This article was written to help answer these exact questions.Cameras and lenses can be easily replaced, especially if they are insured. Those images from the three-week safari, your relatives wedding, or your summer long European tour, simply can't.Memory Card ReliabilityThe first thing to look at is the memory card itself. Most entry level and amateur level cameras use SD (Secure Digital) memory cards. Most professional and prosumer cameras use CF (Compact Flash cards). In general, Compact Flash cards tend to cost more, but offer higher read/write speeds, larger capacities and be less prone to failure than the Secure Digital Cards. This article will focus on those two card types.While there are many manufacturers of memory card out there, the top tier, and the choice of the vast majority of pros, are SanDisk and Lexar. These are also the only two brands than Nikon tests with and recommends.SanDisk claims a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) of over 1,000,000 hours - that's almost 115 years before the average card fails. Their cards are rated for over 10,000 insertions. A sophisticated defect and error management system can rewrite data from a defective sector to a good sector on the fly. SanDisks built in Error Detection Code and Error Correction Code to try to recover corrupted data automatically.The regular (blue) SanDisk CF card has an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F). The Extreme III cards are rated with an operating range of -25°C to 85°C (-13°F to 185°F). They can withstand a shock of 2,000G (or about a 10 ft drop onto a concrete floor). Hard-drives can only withstand a 200-300G shock - a drop of less than 2 foot.SanDisk quote less than 1 non-recoverable error in every 10^14 bits read (or one error for every 12.5 terabytes of data - or one out of every million 12.5Mb RAW files, or one out of every three million Fine JPEGs).Overall the reliability from their Compact Flash cards is significantly better than even the best hard drives on the market today.One important note: there are many fake SanDisk cards in the marketplace. Some of these are cheaper manufacturers cards with SanDisk stickers and packaging. Some are custom made with no quality control and put into SanDisk looking boxes. Our best advice, is to only buy from a reputable retailer like Amazon.com or BHPhotoVideo.com, and avoid buying memory cards that appear too cheap, are for sale on eBay, or some market stall while traveling etc - stick to reputable sources that are authorized dealers.However, even with the best cards, errors do still occur. There are many, many millions of these cards in circulation today. Look at any DSLR internet forum, and you'll find reports of lost images. Most of these you'll note are either with cheaper cards, potentially fake SanDisk or Lexar cards, or caused by user error. If you remove the card from the camera before the camera has finished writing the data, you'll lose images that the camera hasn't completed writing. It's very easy to accidentally format a card, especially if you use multiple cards. There are reports of certain software applications importing the images from the card, then the user deleting the card, only to find that the application only imported the thumbnail JPEGs that were embedded into the RAW image files, not the actual RAW image files. In virtually all these cases, most of the images are recoverable using data recovery software.Bottom line, trying to save $20 on a memory card for a camera/lens system that costs hundred or thousands of dollars makes very little sense. If you stick with the top tier brands, memory cards are very, very reliable, and they are far from the weakest link in the typical users workflow.Card Sizes: One Large Card vs. Multiple Small CardsHow much card space you need depends on what format you shoot (RAW files are significantly larger than JPEG's), and how many shots you are likely to take between getting to a computer to clear off and backup the cards. If I'm traveling, I've usually got a laptop with me so I can backup my cards every evening. Some days I may only take a dozen shots, but it's also not unknown for me to take several thousand shots in a day if I'm at an event with a lot of action.On a Nikon D200 containing a blank 8Gb SanDisk card, the camera claims 480 shots are available for RAW shooting. This number is usually conservative, as the size of the RAW file varies. My Nikon D300 regularly gets around 700 shots on an 8Gb card using Lossless Compressed NEF files. If you switch the D200 to Fine JPEG, it shows 1,300 shots available. If you select RAW plus Fine JPEG, it shows 354 shots available. Your cameras manual will contain a table showing similar data for your particular model.There are conflicting opinions as to if one large card is better, or if many smaller cards are. The argument for smaller cards is, that if your card fails or you drop your camera in the ocean, you lose less data. The argument for larger cards, is card failure is very rare, and largely recoverable. You also risk a much higher chance of dropping a card, getting it wet, sitting on it, losing it, accidentally erasing it, forgetting it or leaving it in your hotel room if you are managing multiple cards.There are other things to consider also. Uploading to computer can take a long time - putting in one large card and leaving it to upload is a lot less work than swapping multiple smaller cards and uploading each one manually. A 4Gb size card is ideal if you back up to DVD - it's the largest card size that will completely fit onto a DVD, making the back up a simple drag and drop.There is no right or wrong answer, we've standardized on 8Gb Compact Flash cards - mainly because they hold a decent number of shots and usually offer the best price per gigabyte. I'll carry up to ten of them with me when I'm traveling. As larger cards become more common and prices drop further, we'll go to larger sized cards. The most important thing is to make sure you have enough memory card space to last you until you can upload them to a computer - it's better to have more than you need than not enough.Card Speed: How Fast Do I Need?Memory cards come in a wide range of speeds, and the faster the card, the more expensive. How fast of a card you need depends on a number of items:<ol>
<li>Is how long it takes for the images to upload to a computer important to you? If you are uploading via cable from your camera, your upload speed is limited by the camera. If you are using a CF of SD reader, you are limited by the speed of that. For the absolute fastest uploads, use a card that supports UDMA (like the SanDisk Extreme IV's, SanDisk Ducati's, and Lexar 300x) in a FireWire reader. For example, the SanDisk Ultra II 8Gb card claims a 15 Mb/second read speed, so that would take almost 9 minutes to upload on an optimally configured system. The 8Gb Ducati card claims a 45Mb/second speed, so would take less than three minutes to upload.</li>
<li>Which camera do you use? The Nikon D200 does not support UDMA, so even though an Extreme IV is faster in it than an Extreme III, the card is much slower than it is in the D300 - the D300 can handle a much faster data transfer rate. </li>
<li>How likely are you to fill the camera buffer? If you shoot landscape or take several minutes to compose each shot, then you don't need a fast card. If you are shooting non-stop action and taking sequence after sequence at 8fps, you'll need as fast a card as possible. Cameras like the D200 and D300 have a big enough on board buffer to store about 17 shots if you are shooting RAW. Once you've taken a picture, the camera writes it to the memory card and erases it from the buffer as soon as it can. Once the buffer is full, the camera won't let you take another picture until it's written an image to the memory card and made room in the buffer. If you are using an Ultra II card in a Nikon D300, this means you may only be able to take a shot every 2-3 seconds when the buffer is full. If you are using a Ducati card, you may still be able to manage a couple of frames a second. Then if you stop shooting, the Ultra II may take a minute or so to get the buffer cleared and all written to the card. The Ducati card will allow the camera to write the images to the card and clear the buffer in seconds.</li> </ol>If you take your time to compose each shot, and upload speed isn't important to you, then memory card speed isn't important. If you are shooting action or sports and use a rapid frame rate frequently, then you want the fastest card, and camera, that you can afford.Data Recovery Whether you've accidentally removed your memory card while the camera was still writing, deleted or formatted the wrong card, or the card has developed an error, it's usually possible to retrieve some, if not all of the lost data.The higher end cards from both SanDisk and Lexar come with their respective data recovery software packages on CD. SanDisk's is called RescuePro, and Lexar's is called Image Rescue. Both are reputed to be very effective. A third part solution called PhotoRescue is also widely used and reputedly better than both SanDisk's and Lexar's offerings, fortunately we've not had the need to find out.In SummaryYour photos are infinitely more important than your camera gear. By selecting the right memory cards and taking a few simple precautions, you can potentially save yourself from losing irreplaceable photographs due to the unforeseen events that hit us all occasionally.Steve Denton has been a Photographer using Nikon equipment for over 20 years, since he bought his first Nikon F Photomic.He also runs the web site <a target="_new" href="http://www.DentonImages.com">http://www.DentonImages.com</a>, a web site dedicated to DSLR photography, covering the latest news from the major manufactures including Nikon, Canon, Leica and Hasselblad, as well as equipment reviews, articles, travel and galleries.

SD Memory Cards - Memory Card Guide

By Jason S Mills

SD, or Secure Digital, is a brand of memory cards that has largely taken over the flash memory market in devices like digital cameras and camcorders, laptops, Personal Digital Assistants, and even video game consoles. Its success can be measures throughout the years by its market penetration, adaptability to different types of devices, and its continuous effort to improve its ratings and write speeds.

Before SD memory cards went into production, Sandisk - one of the developers behind the Secure Digital format - pioneered the MultiMediaCard flash memory format. In conjunction with Siemens, Sandisk unveiled the MMC in 1997, so it goes without saying that they already had some experience under their belt when they wanted to create this newer format that would be slimmer, be capable of holding more data, and offer better R&W speeds.

Sandisk now makes SD memory cards in cooperation with Toshiba and Panasonic. Originally, they set out to rival Sony's already-established Memory Stick. This new, non-volatile, high density format was designed to fit in a tiny package: just 24 x 32 x 2.1mm. Although physically smaller than the memory stick, they knew that they needed a competitive edge to overcome Sony's reputation as the leading memory card format. Starting in 2000, Toshiba and Panasonic garnered a base of over 20 companies that would back this new SD advent.

Today, this group called the SD Association "is a global alliance of more than 1,000 companies involved in the design, development, manufacture or sale of products using SD technology" according to sdcard.org. The SDHC is another type of SD format that uses more sophisticated data densities, allowing you to store up to 64GB of information on a single chip! Since its establishment, much progress was made, and developments of smaller flash media products like the MiniSD and MicroSD formats have further solidified SD's stance as the dominating memory card format.

SD memory cards are based on FAT or FAT32 file systems, but can also be used with FAT16 file systems. They're sold by brands like Ativa, SanDisk, Lexar, Kodak, and ACP-EP. Transferring files from an SD card to your computer is easy. You can either do it by connecting your using device to the PC through a USB port, or you can take the actual SD memory chip out and copy files using a card reader.

Card readers are USB devices that allow you to move data from flash memory units. Also, new advanced cell phones let you take pictures and songs and other files from your SD memory card and send them to your email, or upload them to Facebook - all right at your fingertips. The format offers three file transfer types: one-bit, four-bit, and SPI modes; all SD, but not all MicroSD cards have to support all three of these transfer modes.

One disadvantage that the SD cards have is their lack of support of ATA signaling, which is supported by CompactFlash - one of the format's competitors. Another problem that the SD format faces is the counterfeit products that are openly sold on the Internet. These fakes harm the original brand's name, and offer less-than-advertised read & write speeds.

The future calls for innovative ways to read, write and store data, and no one knows how companies will embrace this consumer demand in the upcoming years. However, although SD memory cards are portable and offer a lot of space, it's unlikely that new technologies will beat small USB flash drives, which were available in capacities up to 256GB, and were around since 2001.

Reasons to Love the SanDisk Memory Stick Duo

By John Allsop

This is a little device that does wonders. It is very reliable and is sure to not only meet but also exceed your expectations. The product is of high quality and its performance surpasses that of other similar gadgets.

I use a SanDisk Memory Stick Duo with my brand new Sony Camera and I can say that I am very satisfied with it. It does its job perfectly and I am confident about all the images I have stored in it. I cannot afford to lose any images. Photography is new thing for me but I am a pretty serious student. In fact, I would like to keep track of my progress.

For a beginner like me, it can be scary to use just about any memory card. I need one that is highly dependable and it seems to be the best thing for my needs. Even if I take a large number of shots, I know that they will all be stored safely. I am certain of its high capacity; other memory cards cannot take in as many.

Others may easily be able to figure out how to use this device, but for a person who feels more at home with a typewriter than a computer, it can be intimidating. As technologically naïve as I am, I was a bit apprehensive at first but surprised myself when I easily worked it out. It is also very user friendly.

This memory card is ideal for taking sequential shots. As much as I love photography, I love my dog too. I tried taking a series of pictures of my dog running and playing at the park. Shots were made rapidly one after the other but they all turn out great. And when you look at all the pictures in the proof sheet, you can definitely see the range of motion.

A common problem with digital cameras is the cycle time. It is the time delay required by the camera after taking one picture to prepare itself to take the next shot. Cycle time includes the time to process the image for colour correction, JPG compression and finally storage into the memory. On this aspect, SanDisk Memory Stick Duo is a big help. The pictures remain beautiful even as they are quickly stored into the memory. Waiting time is cut short and you can quickly snap pictures successively.

And when it comes to capacity, this product is top notch. I went on a trip and I took 300 pictures. I got worried because I also shot some video images of the places we went. I do realize that there is a limit to the amount of data that I can store but it seems to have plenty of room. Now I don't have to rush and can take my time to download pictures onto my computer when it is more convenient to do so.

SanDisk MP3 Players Vs Apple iPod - And the War Goes On!

By Nilakshi Handique

SanDisk MP3 player or Apple iPod - This is one tug of war that continues to rage ceaselessly amongst all music lovers. While some vouch on the pros of one, some just regret their choice of buying the other. And the war continues...Read on to know more.

A quick research into the sales trend of music players reveals that SanDisk MP3 players and Apple iPod are today the most preferred options among music lovers. But, when it comes to comparing the two, the task becomes very tough. In this article, I will dissect the most popular SanDisk MP3 player, SanDisk Sansa Clip and Apple iPod Shuffle and further compare them with each other for your benefit:

Design & looks: As far as design is concerned, the iPod Shuffle has this one in the bag. It's half the size and made of stylish anodized aluminum. Both are stuck in black or white land, but the iPod allows you to buy different colors for variety.

Format Support: When it comes to supported formats, the iPod Shuffle is a winner too; it supports MP3, AAC, WAV, AA, and AIFF while the Sansa Clip supports MP3, WMA, WAV, and AA.

Usability: In terms of usability the Clip is the winner with a screen, capability to make on the go play-lists, non proprietary USB connection; while the Shuffle has none of these.

Operations: The sleek and chic iPod Shuffle comes in two variants. However, neither shuffle is capable of holding the typical person's entire music collection. As the name suggest it has no display, no equalizer and no easy way to get to the 221st song on the shuffle, so basically you have to play your songs in random order. The lack of controls means that there's also a lack of any adjustable equalizer.

On the other hand the new Sandisk MP3 player have all this and that too at an affordable price.

Accessories: The Apple iPod has more accessories, but it does not have the capability of being expanded. The SanDisk can be added to with a MicroSD slot. In fact, you can double the capacity at a budget price. Further, with the MicroSD you can buy more disks, to hold a variety of content.

Sync support: Apple requires that you install their software in order to keep your iPod synced. Whereas the SanDisk can be used on any machine and synced with Windows Media, Real, or you can just put the music in the music folder.

Price: And last but not the least, though the price of the SanDisk Sansa Clip Mp3 player varies from place to place yet, it is always cheaper than the iPod Shuffle.

So for everyone out there the choice is yours, but whether you choose SanDisk Sansa Clip Mp3 player or an iPod Shuffle, we suggest you try online marts, as they offer myriad options. And moreover, you can always do a little bit of research before zeroing on the music player of your choice.

SanDisk Sansa Fuze 2 GB Video MP3 Player - A Quick Review

By Troy Richards

SanDisk is slowly becoming a forerunner in the MP3 player market. Here is a review of the SanDisk Sansa Fuze (2GB).

The Sansa Fuze is the latest offering from SanDisk to its line of MP3 players. Continually attractive to customers for its low prices, the company has not been content nor rested on its laurels on this selling feature alone; SanDisk has become and remains to true contender because of its efforts to tweak and improve the sound quality and features of its Sansa MP3 players.

To be fair, however, the Sansa Fuze doesn't quite compare to the more expensive Sony NWZ-A810 or Samsung P2 players for stellar audio quality, nor can it compete with the rich, encompassing sound of the Creative Zen V Plus, but it comes close. The Sansa Fuze offers reasonable bass response (though not pulse-pounding), rich and full mids that highlight smooth vocals, and an impressive high end. Tested with Shure's E310 earphones and Creative Aurvana Live headphones, across all genres, the Sansa Fuze presented clear, solid sound.

The Sansa Fuze offers a microSD card slot for adding memory, which opens up the possibility to be relevant and competitive for years to come. It accepts high capacity memory storage cards, which at the moment are available up to 12 gigabytes; plenty of room for thousands of songs or dozens of videos. This unit also comes with an radio (FM) tuner with auto-scan and presets as well as a built-in microphone for recording audio notes while on the go.

One feature that does not add much value to this unit is the built in syncing port. It would be much more beneficial for SanDisk to use a mini USB connection for downloading songs and video. The 28.2 hours of battery life for audio and 6.5 hours for video is quite impressive.For music enthusiasts who don't want to mortgage their home for a quality MP3 player, the Sansa Fuze is the unit for you.
