Compact Flash/Secure Digital Adapter with 16MB SD Card

Summary: Even better than it looks on pictures
Review: A very usefull accessory. What you don't see on pictures is that SD card does not stick out of the adapter when inserted, although the adapter itself is CF Type I. This means it will fit into any CF slot, even those that have covers, like in some digital cameras. Other adapters I saw either were CF Type II (bigger and may not fit into some CF slots) or have SD card stick out or were much more pricy.

Definetely recommends this, though I wish the shipping was free and I have no idea why they have 16 Mb SD card included :)

Summary: Nice in theory; does not work
Review: I bought this device in order to be able to use SD cards for my phone in my Canon camera. It does not work. I have tried it with the SD card with which it was sent as well as three others. None work.

Moreover, none of the four SD cards including the one with which it came was not recognized by my XP (operating system) computer.

It would have been a nice idea but it just does not work, at least in my camera or on my computer.

Summary: Very nice item, works perfectly!
Review: The PNY adapter is great! An SD card fits right into this adapter, and this adapter is exactly the same dimensions as a Type I CF so it fits into ANY CF slot. It basically turns any SD card into a CF card. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is the SD card slot is in the side. This means the adapter has to be removed from whatever device it is inserted in before you can swap the SD card. Perfection would be if the SD card were inserted through the back edge of the adapter so the SD could be removed from the camera (or PDA, etc.) without removing the adapter itself.

It is a little pricey, but there seems to be more SD deals these days, SD seems to be faster than CF (in my experience), plus if you carry around a lot of memory cards, there will be a weight savings using SD instead since they are so much smaller. Not to mention so many other devices use SD (PDA, MP3 players, etc.) so using this adapter, you can use the same cards in everything. So overall, it may be a worthwhile buy.

I do also wonder why they couldn't just shave the price down a little and omit the antiquated 16MB SD card that they send with it.
