To date all I have done is to unpack the item. Will gladly review when I use it.
Thank you

The product appears to be the device that I was expecting to receive, but I have not had the chance to use it and verify quality. I plan to do so in the very near future.

While this is a nice product, it is not a good one for travel because it is bulky, heavy and you have to carry way to much. I would suggest a Wolverine card reader and storage as a better product.

Be aware…this product won’t burn your DVDs while you are recording the tape. You have to be reviewing the tape.

Although not noted in any of the literature I have seen, formats that can be used with this device are very limited. It apparently can not read or record RAW files and possibly not tiff files. I sent it back before trying because more than 3/4 of my images are shot in raw. I believe it will also not read video images shot with many (any?) of the compact digital cameras intended for still photos. ( Almost all of the compact still cameras have a video feature.)
Interesting that they would introduce a new product which can not deal with popular features that have been around for years. Even worse I have not seen any warnings to consumers in the standard promotional materials
