Why can't you just stick the sd card from the game camera directly in your laptop? Why is this product needed??

You can. This item is great for me who doesn't have a port for the card on my Samsung book. It's also great to download them all at the same time and not have to accidentally erase a card by accident (which i have done- since I have 5 game cams without labeled cards). In order for me to put it directly in computer I would have to lug my much larger computer to ranch Everytime I go which is not as convenient. You could plug this in iPads, smart books, net books etc. Good luck

If your laptop has a card reader then you don't need it. Not every laptop does nor do desktop PC's.

Jeremy, I actually have a notebook by Acer where I can insert an SD card directly into the computer. Unfortunately, I edit videos on a desktop computer made by Apple and it does not have such a port. I hope this answers your question but please let me know if you have any other questions.

I believe in most case you can. What this product does is give you one location to plug in various size cards.

there is a mini sd slot I have never used it.I think it would overload the system as it already works slow.

There is a secure digital slot for removeable memory.I record to that removeable card and copy what ever I recorded to my computer.The other way is to use the provided cable to link up the whole camera to a computer.The sd card is by far the quickest and easiest.....

It doesn't use SD. HUGE drawback. Sony set it up to use ONLY their proprietary memory storage chip - not included, but absolutely mandatory. They can only be purchased from Sony, so you may need to sell an internal organ in order to buy one of insufficient size. Idiotic, transparent, money-grubbing move on Sony's part.

I haven't mastered the wireless feature either. I take my card out of the camera and put it in the slot on my laptop. I have my portable hard drive connected to my laptop and I cut and paste directly from my card to my portable HD. I know I didn't comment on using USB compatibility...but the way I do it indirectly answers that question...I think using USB (flash drive or like my portable HD) is the same. I did have to name my camera and once I did that...the card/HD worked.

My laptop had a slot in the front for camera memory cards. Since I upload my pics to our desktop via USB and rarely pull my camera's memory card out... I never tested it. But it was there. :)

Camera has limited internal memory. Memory card is probably very useful. Charger in stand alone andremove battery from camera and place in charger,

I'm not sure, I did buy a micro sd card and put it in the DOPO, it did see the card at first but now it doesn't see the card...I don't think I would recommend this product to anyone, unless you just want it for games and I only use the free ones...

I tried with putting my sd card in my laptop but I used a 32G card and it didn't seem to want to recognize it. I ended up installing the card in my tablet, then hooking the tablet to my laptop using the cable that came with the tablet. The computer immediately recognized both the tablet and its memory and the sd card as separate drives. From there it was simply copy and paste as you would anyother application. Just make sure you copy to the sd card or it will transfer it to the tablet memory instead. I used this method and transferred some 20G of songs, pictures, and other things without a problem. They work just fine on the tablet. Hope this helps. I tried with putting my sd card in my laptop but I used a 32G card and it didn't seem to want to recognize it.

I thing you can use USB flash drive ,and depend on flash drive space. If you have good network connection ,I thing you can record whole game without any problem, dependent on Battery ,get a long lasting battery.

The instructions could be better written. With a little playing and being a bit computer savy you can figure it out. Unit works fine. Just need that SD card. I used a large capacity one but I feel a lesser one would work fine.

It is kind of overkill for that purpose. You can get a cheap usb 2.0 or SD card for half the price and it would be fine for that purpose. It is like buying a Ferrari to go grocery shopping.

Is there any way to record directly to the card and bypass the internal memory?? thanks

No, you need to purchase another SD card with higher capacity. Just look in the product specifications to learn about this.

Luke I agree with Tony and Joiner I read two reviews of the gaming console and I don't see any reason this microSD card shouldn't work if you use the adapter.

Yes, you put the card from your camera directly into the laptop. This laptop really is a great pc for the money

You can use a cheap microSD card with the isostick - I use a 16GB one, myself :)
