Home > Consumer Reviews > Alera Technologies Digital Photo Copy Cruiser

I just got back from my family vacation and I have to tell you besides taking all site seeing pictures that included all the family, the most fun I had was being able to give my brother and his wife and my parents each a CD of all the pictures before it ended. Like others I got into Digital Photogrphy the end of last year. The problem I have it that Flash memory is expensive. With the Digital Photo Copy Cruiser every day I take a few hundred pictures on my Canon camera and at the end of the day, I put the memory card in the Digital Photo Copy Cruiser, put a CD in, push a button and a few minutes later they are written to CD. It's great.

I was a little hesitant to buy this item since I read reviews that it may not work with memory stick pro cards. They have fixed that issue and this thing works like a dream. Pretty fast and easy to use. The only gripe is the size. I bought it so that I do not have to take my laptop on vacation, but the size almost makes me want to take the laptop...almost. Great for vacationers who do not want to worry about too much technology.

Junk. After both my husband and I spent 3 hours each trying to get this thing to work, we are still only able to view 3 of the 97 photos from the CD this thing supposedly "copied" from the compact flash card. The rest of the photos files are unreadable. Big Disappointment.

I purchased the unit to transfer photos from my Sony Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO media to CD. The unit seems to work great for Memory Stick, but will not recognize Memory Stick PRO. I have contacted the company for support and they seem to be responsive to my issue. While I have not yet recieved a solution to my problem, they have been answering emails and phone calls and said they are working on the issue. I am optimistic. As far as the vendor, I ordered late Thurs nite and had it by Saturday.
