I purchased a pair of these cards back in July 2009 for my Sony PMW-EX1, full-size HD Camera. I used them with an MxR Adapter and they worked wonderfully for recording hours upon hours of documentary footage. At the end April this year Digital SLR Cameras were becoming quite affordable and versatile. I purchased a Canon T2i and two more of the Transcend 16gb Class 6 cards. I was on my way to the Middle East to record a graduation and would eventually visit London.

Using the Canon T2i indoors was fine, it would of course overheat if used constantly for over 40 minutes. I shot outside one day and let the camera rest every once and awhile. It was hot out. When I finally finished shooting my camera turned off by itself. I learned the memory card had fried.

I returned back to the states and brought it to professional specialists who were unable to read the card, even through using a linux machine. I continued using my remaining cards to shoot, but began seeing overheating warnings after 30 minutes of shooting, mostly indoors.

Today I was testing out my cards and one of them would report an error after recording 2 minutes on my Sony PMW-EX1. I have a feeling these cards have low life-span and with the combination of heat and new technology, you may end up losing thousands of memories in a FLASH. Pun intended.

I would recommend spending more to save your data and back up CONSTANTLY.

Before purchasing the Sony Cybershot DSCW120 I owned a Fujifilm digital camera. The camera was all around a good camera, but the pictures weren’t as clear as I wanted them and it was a little bulky. Then I lost the battery and really wasn’t sure if i wanted to spend the money to purchase a new one.
Then last week, I went onto Amazon and looked at camera’s and got interested in buying a new Camera. Since I wanted something light, small, preferably black, takes clear pictures, and good reviews, I came across this Sony Cybershot. After reading all the review (which im a first review, then buy person) I was Sold. The next day I went to Circuit City and purchased the Camera, a case, screen protector, and of the course the $30 dollar memory card.
I took it home, turned it on and just started snapping pictures. The pictures were clear as day, even in low lighting areas. I tried using the Face Smile setting, which was a little confusing in the beginning, but after playing around, was actually really cool.
Another thing that I love is that when slidding the wheel, like when going to auto, face smile, video, etc, tells you what each setting is.
Example: When turing the wheel to Twilight is says “shoot low light scene using tripod”. I think this is an awesome setting when turning the wheel and not really know what your turning to and have to either play around or resorting to the manual.
Overall I think this is an awesome camera thats light, a pocket size, and shoots crisp clear pictures. For the 200 dollars I spent, I cannot be happier.
