Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SanDisk SDV-1A Digital Photo Viewer
Customer Review: Easy enough for technophobes to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this to show my digital photos to family while on vacation. It's compact and fits easily into your suitcase. Plugs into most TVs and presto, you have a slide show. It has 4 slots to fit MS, SD, SM and CF memory, but being technologically challenged, I just stuck my compact flash into the slot that fit it.
You can let it run like a slide show, or use the buttons to move it along at your own pace to fit your narration. Saves printing out everything to show people and my family was impressed to see themselves on their TV screen.
It lets you rotate a picture or delete one that is a dud. Great gadget!
Customer Review: Uses Memory Stick, but NOT Memory Stick PRO. ..
Summary: 3 Stars
Recently bought the SanDisk SDV-1A Digital Photo Viewer because it seemed like a logical way to screen digital pictures without using the computer. Also could provide a nice slide show on the television for a group. Unfortunately I had also bought two SanDisk 256Meg Memory Stick Pro storage devices which I use with my Sony digital camera. The Memory Sticks (Pro) work well with the camera, but they do NOT work with the SanDisk SDV-1A Digital Photo Viewer. Wish I had known that before I purchased the viewer. Other than that, it peforms OK for the cost.

Customer Review: Piece of JUNK
Summary: 1 Stars
I am sad to say that this is the first review I have written on Amazon. But I was so disappointed in the performance of this porduct I just had to express myself. Even though this porduct was free, I expect it to "work". I hooked it up to my S-video port on my TV, turned on the device with a 512MB card containing ~20 3.2 megapixel photos. I was able to view the first 3, then it locked up. I tried several other times with other cards, photos, etc...all with the same results. Luckily my Canon camera came with a video out to display on the TV and I don't have to deal with this piece of JUNK. I give it one star because the batteries for the remote worked.
Customer Review: No better way to display your work.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a perfect way to display your shots.
Like several of the other reviewers I shoot with several large Mp cameras. And it does lag a bit with larger files. There is an easy solution to this.
During your post processing create a 640x480 sized version. Save this to a smaller CF card ( or what ever type you use ). Use that one card to display your work. I have several 16M CF cards that I have categorized for various shoots/vacations/etc.
Another awesome use for this is to use it as a 'fishtank' or 'screensaver' during parties. Turn on the slide show feature with some music and it creates a nice ambient show. ^_^
This is an awesome piece of technology for the price. I would recommend it to anyone.
Customer Review: Broken, incompatible, unreadable menus
Summary: 1 Stars
I use a 512MB Sandisk CF card in my Canon S45 camera. I put several pictures on the card, of varying sizes and qualities. None of them displayed onscreen, and even the Preview option showed a sort of colored fuzzed-out picture instead of a thumbnail view. This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever used, thank goodness it was free. I wonder why, they're probably unloading them, or the free ones are all secretly 'refurbished' or something. Shame on Amazon.
