Side by Side Comparison of: Vivitar vs Transcend vs Case Logic vs Xit

The Camcorder is great for kids who wanna try it out and learn from it, however for adults I would not recommend it due to how small the actual camera is, The SD port is very clean even tho its on the bottom of the camera, the delivery from HITEX was amazing and fast, however the lifespan with 3 AAA is very short.. Other then that my kid will love this camera

Vivitar DVR-508 High Definition Digital Video camera it is SMALL. I have not dowloaded the videos yet but I can take this camera ANYWHERE. It fits in any of my purses/bags. It is easy to change and to use!

For the price very nice. Its a cheap camera but take decent videos this is the perfect camera to loose. Unless you have very private videos on it loosing it would not hurt at all for 29 bucks. I left a 400 dollar cam at the game and that really hurt.

You are awesome. I have tried for months to get my husband a camcorder that he can use for his studio. Neither of us know anything about camcorders, however, I have been trying to order him one. I would either get the cord but I would never get the camcorder. I have always had great experiences working with Amazon. You have high quality things for the cheapest prices and they are well worth the money. I had given up because of the limited funds and getting things from other places rather than Amazon. Amazon saved the day. They made sure my money was back on my card so I could purchase more things without having to wait. They made an executive decision to send me a camcorder that they knew about and it had the sim card, cord, and everything my husband needed. He saw the truck drive up and deliver the package on SUNDAY. When we checked out the package we were like two children on Christmas morning. Amazon I cannot thank you enough. You brought every thing together for us when we didn't know what we wanted. We will be singing your praises from now on. Thank you Thank you and Thank you.

This product was extremely lightweight and small. It fit my daughter's hands perfectly. It is extremely easy for her to use it and the buttons are self-explanatory. Now she has something to keep her family memories in. This is absolutely nothing compared to a diary. She video records her secrets and views them later. She can also take pictures with it.

i got this for my 10yr old future movie maker. He loves it. I just wish it came with the batteries. I didnt have any and he had to wait until i could get some. I will buy from this seller again

This 60MB/s 400x Transcend 32GB storage card works perfectly as the temporary backup card for my use with the Street Guardian SGZC12SG video recorder unit. I use larger 64GB Transcend 60MB/s 400x card for regular recording use, just to double the overall time period for recordings. Transcend is reliable, in wide temperature conditions, and that's critical for a car security camera (such as the Street Guardian).

I use my two cameras on a daily basis for fun and a little profit. I have traveled just about around the world. I demand my equipment work as hard as I do.I wont risk missing a shot or even worse getting the perfect shot and then having the Flash Memory not work. I have been using Transcend 64GB Flash Memory for over a year now.I will not shoot with anything but this Flash Memory. My time and my profits are too valuable to risk with anything but the finest. rechargeable. I am more than happy to use as well as recommend this product to anyone who needs the highest value equipment.

We got this memory card for my 8 year old daughter's camera which she loves because it can get wet and take pics underwater.The 32 GB is a mixed blessing:* PRO - Holds a TON of images and videos* CON - Holds a TON of images and videosWhy the same? Well, when you are 8 years old you don't have the self-regulation that an adult (should!) have. So, we get a lot of pics that are out-of-focus or redundant (e.g., "selfies," stuffed toys).But, you know what, this has become a learning opportunity for her. She uses her camera a lot and once we showed her how easy it is to 'waste' the space on the card she got it. SO, now, her 10-year-old brother can't use the camera because he takes more selfies and videos (of his Star Wars legos) which she now considers wasteful. (Yes, we sometimes think we created a monster!)Seriously, this memory card is a great value!

For the price you can't go wrong. I bought four of these cards for my two Nikon D7000's. They really do help the camera to clear the buffer quicker when your shooting burst shots. I do a decent amount of wildlife photography. The D7000 has a 15 shot RAW buffer when its set to 12-bit RAW. My old cards were regular class 10 cards with a 20mb wright speed. These are more then double that and it shows. If I filled the buffer on my D7000 with my old cards I'd have to wait about 8 or 9 seconds for the buffer to clear. With these cards its about 6 seconds. However if you shoot like a normal human being and actually anticipate the shot beforehand then you won't have any issues. I usually only shoot 3 or 4 shot bursts anyways because the moment is there and gone in an instant.I also have one of these cards in my D3100 (purchased before the sale). That camera has a 13 shot buffer when shooting RAW. I've also noticed that the D3100 benefits from these cards to as the buffer does clear faster.

I haven't bought an SD card in some years, and I got this one for less than I paid for just a 2GB card years ago... Yes it's been that long ago. I got it to work with my new Canon Power Shot SX50 HS. I have three Canon cameras, two are DSLR and now this point and shoot camera. I thought nothing about the writing speed until I put one of my older cards in the new camera. With the older cards, after each picture I took, there was a delay with 'camera processing" or something like that showing up for about five seconds. With this new card, there is no delay. Yes, no DELAY. I was so impressed, I put it into my EOS 60D. In this camera, I never noticed any writing speeds change, but I didn't have any problems with my old SD cards either. The next HUGE change in speed I noticed was when I plugged the new card into my computer. I transferred about 30 full resolution images from the new card in about four seconds. Not hyper speed by any measure but, with my old cards, this would have easily been 10 or more seconds. So, the speed claim is exactly on spot with me.I was so impressed, I have ordered a second one for my EOS 60D to replace the slow 2GB card.

I was always a fanatic for SanDisk SDHC cards, but their prices progressively became higher. I decided to try Transcend and no regrets whatsoever. And now that they have the speed to match or even exceed Sandisk in performance and value, thats where my money goes. Both of these brands are great, however, if you want more bang for your buck, Transcend is the way to go. With the savings, you can stock up on 2 for just a little more of what Sandisk cost. Like I said no issues or problems on any of my 6 cameras. Did I mention they're Fantastically Perfect for Video as well?

Great little backup camcorder. Quality isn't as good as others, but considering the price, this works well. Took a little to figure out how to work everything, but once we did, it's pretty easy.Like that the holding area fits small hands for tweens, teens, and women.

Works great! I bought this for my 9 year old for Christmas, and she loves it! It is great as a gift for your child, but it is cheaply made. It is very light....feels like plastic....and to me it feels like it could break quite easily. It does not work without a SIM card, so be ready to buy one. Runs on a built in battery, but also takes AAA batteries. If you are wanting a camcorder for the family this one probably isn't for you. This camcorder...in my opinion....is best for a gift for a child.

Exactly what I thought. It's very small probably ment for a child but I like that it's not bulky. It is all plastic so might not be the greatest quality but it comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty. For 30 bucks I'm not complaining - people that are giving poor reviews obviously didn't read about the product before purchasing.

I've wanted this for a very long time just for fun stuff ! It's little and has the packaging on so tight I don't even want to get a scissors and fight with it because taking the plastic off is going to be hard and a fight! It's an affordable purchase for something that's been on my wish list forever! merry Christmas to me!

Bought this as a gift for a tech savvy 6-year-old. It is the perfect ultra small size for her hand. It has some very basic camcorder functionality, as well as various advanced settings available. Yet simple enough for a child to operate. The recording quality is pretty good for under $30. We've already had a lot of fun playing with it. I would not recommend this as a family camcorder for recording important events such as weddings and sporting events. If that is what you are looking for you can likely find something more suited to your need for more money.

I thought it was great for the price. Small,and compact. Great to take outdoors for hiking pictures. now i can send pics to family and friends.

Nothing to not give 5 stars for I guess. But I usually reserve that for something that really impressed me. But ummm, there just memory cards.But them up when you see them under $15 though!!! Wanted to get a few more a few weeks later and they were more than double the $11 I paid for them. No thanks!! What are people buying up and hoarding memory cards with their ammo now?

This has been a great purchase. Nice Flash Memory, it works perfectly with my Nikon D3200, great for my pics and videos on this camera. I'm glad I tried this brand,

They work well, but after lots of use, they seem to fall apart (literally break in two) before other brands. I work in video production, and I like the price point of Transcend, and the read/write seems just fine. We do use our gear hard, so maybe this is a non-issue for most people, but I have had to throw away more delaminated Transcend cards than the Sony's.

Works as it should, had no issues with storage but had forgotten the Cannon Rebel T3i doesn't like the larger size cards when it is recording video.

Pros: It does what it needs to do.Cons: Don't let the label fool you. It doesn't transfer at even close to 45 MB/s. I get anywhere from 5 MB/s to 8 MB/s. This is a card limitation, not my computer. I have a Lexar Professional SD card that is rated at 95 MB/s and I get about 85 MB/s. A full card is going to take 20-30 minutes to transfer everything to your computer.Edit: After trying different card readers I got this working faster. For some reason it's not compatible at higher speeds with some readers.

I've had excellent results using Transcend cards over time. Now I buy only 64GB SDXC cards as they are finally less expensive than two of the 32 GB SDHC ones.I know that Transcend has a faster card than this one, but I don't see a need for this. I'm using this card with a Nikon D600 and it works just fine.

This product arrived and it looked actually really smaller than it was displayed.. but it still was usable which was great. It also came with a disk to install the software on your laptop, however I lost mine after a few months as I misplaced it somewhere. This product is actually very nice for the price it was, however there are some pros and cons that come along with it.PRO's:- Very small, can take it to travel anywhere- Cheap but manageable- Easy to useCON's:- Very small, easy to misplace- Disk installer is also easy to misplace- Quality is not HD as advertised

I'm disappointed in this camcorder... Bought it for my 7 year old grand daughter for Christmas...She loves making movies with her action figures using my Kindle or phone, so I thought I'd get her a camera.She tried it and didn't like the restrictions using this camera put on her creativity. She still perfers the ease of use of my Kindle.I think I'm going to try a go-pro for her next.I love watching her movies and hearing her narrative and want to encourage her to continue... Just need to find the right vehicle for her.

It's kinda of cheap feeling, but seriously for the price what did you think you were getting? Not to sure about the picture quality either, but again price vs quality? I didn't buy this for my, I bought this for my toddler who is always trying to play with my much more expensive one, and so far it has worked out great. She enjoys "being like mommy" and its a great hand eye coordination tool. So for the price, this was exactly what I wanted. However if you want good quality video and something that is bigger than the palm of your hand, you should spend the money for a good one. All in all I actually really like it for my daughter and she loves it, so all is right in her world. Plus side it comes with all its cables so you can show everyone what shes videoed, does not come with batteries, takes 4 AAA's, or a SD card.

This little dainty camera is smaller than I expected or as portrayed on the image. It fits snuggly in my wrist and it operates easily. It is very light weight and has a pretty red shinny color. The screen is small but scenes are very visual. It comes with a TV cable, an installation CD and a USB cable, but NOT an SD Memory Card. I have to go out and buy one because on the screen it demands that one be placed inside camera, even though it comes with 250MB of free space. I'm not sure how many hours that amounts to while taping. I believe it is always best to have several SD memory cards on hand just in case it poofs out. In addition, 3 AAA batteries will be needed to install inside the camera for backup purposes or to use when the camera powers down.In my opinion, I believe that this camera is more suitable for a teenager or small child who is just experimenting with learning how to use such an item. But who would want to pay over $100 for such a toy? Not me!

Item was shipped very fast, customer service was outstanding, great price, product was exactly as described and explained, but the batteries for super quick and the digital display is not in HD and therefore is extremely blurry and grainy. But the footage covered is in HD once downloaded, it's very compact and user friendly, stylish. We may have to upgrade soon, but the kids are loving it, seems very practical for them.

Ok, so it definitely isn't for someone that is wanting a high quality picture and probably wouldn't be any good for filming sporting events or plays, but for an 8-13 year old that is just starting to experiment with making their own videos, it's great. The price is low and that makes it easy to hand it over to those who aren't so easy on their things, and it's small, so it works great in smaller hands. We bought it as a birthday gift for our 10 year old, who just started to make his own videos and he loves it.

Not very happy with this purchase. A week after using this, neither my laptop nor could my camcorder read it. So ended up formatting the card and losing lot of pictures. So my confidence level has dropped quite a bit and copying more frequently.

I have used these before and had no trouble. I had my grand daughter's 3rd birthday and I put the card it and it said the card was damaged. Mind you I had only this for a few weeks. I did take it out of my camera and reinserted and re formatted it and it worked with no problems. It makes me nervous that my pictures might not turn out. I tend to take a lot of pictures.

Like so many SD cards I have tried, this card has dreadful performance on small writes. Unlike so many other SD cards I have tested, its performance on larger but randomly placed writes is merely poor, and I do not see long stalls when the load includes a mix of reads and writes. Naturally, the read performance is where the maker clearly concentrated.For linear reads, I saw over 75MB/s, for large random reads, over 55MB/s. For write performance, it cleared 13MB/s linear and 3MB/s large random (most cards I have tested can't hold 1MB/s for large random writes). The small random reads were over 6MB/s. The <1MB/s small random writes were a bit disappointing, though, and the just better than zero transfer rate with multiple outstanding writes says the card can't deal with multiple streams at once. Copying a set of files that ranged up to 100MB per file (with an average over 1MB per file) achieved around 4MB/s.Overall, it could be tolerable as a file storage card, and it looks like it might make a useable camera card if your camera has a reasonable write buffer.The 32GB version of this card has clearly better write performance and does not choke on multiple streams; I would recommend it instead, unless your device can not handle it.I have had no issues with corruption or data loss so far, but I have not had this card a long time.

This card doesn't fit into a Samsung camera. I have used several Nikons until I thought I'd try a Samsung camera. We love our smart Samsung TV, so I thought I'd try one of their cameras. Memory card too big. Got another one from Amazon just in time before we headed to Europe for vacation. Amazon refunded my money on this card as soon as we returned to the US, and I notified them of the problem Didn't even have to send the product back, so I gave it away to a kid next door that has a Nikon camera.

I previously used a SanDisk card with no problems, but bought this Transcend card for its greater storage capacity. I figured that I would give this one a try since it's cheaper and generally has good reviews. However, it is noticeably slower when used in my Canon DSLR - photos take longer to write and load. Sometimes when doing high-dynamic range (HDR) photography, which consists of taking multiple shoots in rapid sequence, one of the shots will fail to write. The biggest problem is when recording HD video, when this card will frequently fail to keep up and cause the recording to abort. My SanDisk card, rated at the same speed of 45 MB/s, has no problems recording video and is clearly faster when shooting in continuous mode. Note that I shoot in RAW, which has much larger files than JPG, which emphasizes differences in write speed. I recommend this card to those who shoot mostly in JPG with lower-megapixel cameras (up to about 12 MP). Those with 18+ MP cameras who shoot in RAW, or those who are recording HD video, should spend a bit more and buy the SanDisk (or a higher speed rated card such as 60 or even 90 MB/s).

I don't know if the camera won't take the 64 Gigs or if there is a problem with the flash drive. When I put the drive into my reader on my computer, every third time it tells me it cannot read. IfI keep putting it in and out, it eventually works on the computer, nothing works in the camera.

This video camera really gives the term "you get what you paid for". It's very cheap looking in person and it feels like cheap material

I bought this for my seven year old brother that wants to be a youtuber for Christmas. He only got one set of batteries use out of it! We went to put in new batteries today and it won't turn on unless plugged into the computer! And the return window for this item closed YESTERDAY.

Not a bad camera, I suppose, but it really is a toy. The thing is lighter than a fisher-price item and not quite as sturdy. I thought I would be able to buy this to shoot YouTube videos, but it really doesn't live up to internet standards. Also--memory card not included, so be sure you buy the right one for it to work. Some of them won't let the camera record.

We couldn't figure out how to get the thing to work. It's a very cheap plastic recorder. Basically went in the trash a few days after getting. It was supposed to be a birthday gift but it was a total flop. The screen to see what you are recording is terrible. It reminds me of how the very first digital cameras looked. It's so cheap that I should have known that it wouldn't be nice or good quality.

It was cheap and the battery did not last very long. Not a lot of memory- you get what you pay for..... It broke about a month after we got it.

The picture quality and sound is terrible. The battery life is very short, I had to buy rechargeable batteries and always have to recharge them after only 30 minute recording sessions. Also, it does not record a full 30 minutes, it breaks videos up into about 13 minute increments which can be a little irritating at times. You get what you pay for with this product, I just assumed that since this is a Vivitar brand, it would have been a little better quality.

Ordered the product approximately a month ago (3 JUN 2017) to have a memory card available for the 4th of July.If it could be shipped out to me...that would be greaaat.

broke in a year

This card is not recognized by my computer. When plugged into the card slot in my computer, it does not appear to exist. The only way to utilize it is to keep it in the camera and plug the camera chord into the computer. The camera software appears to be able to talk to both card & computer.

Memory Card Error Memory Card Error

I guess it depends on your application, but if you're shooting sports this card is extremely weak. I have a SanDisk card rated the same and they're nowhere close in terms of write performance. With my Canon 70D on high speed continuous shutter the difference is huge. My test was to hold the shutter for 10 seconds and see how long it took to clear the buffer and how many shots were obtained.With the SanDisk Extreme (also rated at 45MB/s) I got 30 pictures and the buffer got cleared in 10 seconds after I stopped shooting.With this card, I got 20 pictures and it took another 26 seconds to clear the buffer after I stopped shooting.Huge difference. For stills, or the occasional burst of photos, it will be fine, but chances are, I'll use the SanDisk and also think about getting another fast card. For $8 though, it's still a very good deal.

Very disappointed as this card does not seem to be able to record HD video on my Canon 60D DSLR camera, even though it's advertised this way. Less than 10 seconds after recording, it will say "Recording stopped automatically." I tried reformatting the card (although I don't believe it should be necessary) and nothing changes... I find this odd as this does not occur with my other freind's card and the rating on this card is so high...

Camera did not work and it was returned

Absolute garbage, got for my daughter for Christmas and put brand new batteries in and wont even turn on. Waste of money

Exactly as the title says. In this case, purchasing a 26$ camera is very cheap, and that's exactly what you get with this camera. The description for this camera is inadequate. The audio is horrible, and the "720p" is closer to 360p that's a bit sharper as opposed to grainy. Mine wouldn't turn on at first, even with the recommended triple A batteries. I had to go out and purchase Alkaline batteries in order for it to even turn on, which was a major downside. Along with that, the camera itself feels cheap to hold. It is made of very flimsy plastic and I have no doubt that one or two drops would render it completely unusable. Save your money and purchase a more expensive camera that will give you better quality in everything and be more worth your time. If you'd like to try it for yourself, at least purchase it off of Amazon, where you can return it. I would not recommend this product.

This camcorder is a disappointment. All of the videos I've taken with this camera came out unviewable (too dark). Can't get those moments back. I tried one more time last night, and even with a light on in the room (as bright as day) and using the LED on the camera, the video came out too dark...couldn't see anything that was recorded. The sound quality is awful; there is an odd, intermittent clicking noise when viewing the video on playback. Aren't these devices tested before being sold? The setup isn't an easy process, either. The buttons are confusing when it comes to trying to navigate while recording a video or taking a picture. Just not as clear cut a process as I was hoping for. All I wanted was an affordable, small, easy-to-use camcorder for recording and saving memories. I thought I was getting a good thing by choosing a Vivitar. I'll stay away from that brand during my next search for a camcorder. I don't like throwing things away, but this camera is taking its last ride...to the dump.

I purchased this for my little sister (9 years old) as a birthday gift, as she always has a use for a video camera on her outdoor adventures, and sometimes, a cell phone or iPod camera just doesn't cut it. Being that it's just her first video camera, I didn't want to go out and spend hundreds of dollars... I'm realizing now that I probably should have. At nobody's fault but my own, I didn't notice that it required 3 AAA batteries. I guess I kind of assumed that the camera had a lithium ion battery. The plastic is VERY weak, and can easily break if set down too soft.... No seriously, it's like holding a feather. You're afraid you're going to break it every time you touch it. The image quality is terrible, and the video quality even worse. I know I'm being really critical, but could it kill a company to make something of descent quality? Cameras like this are generally in the hands of younger children, and we all know that they are not gentle beings. I would not recommend this to anyone that wants something worth their money.

I really don't like leaving negative feedback but I am SO disappointed in this camera, it seemed perfect for my 8 year old's birthday gift! He was SO excited to get it but its majorly defective - I had to order a SD card separately which was NOT mentioned at all when I ordered it, I put in the card and the 3 AAA batteries and it did NOTHING except show a white screen.. it came with a "customer service" hotline to call before you return it, and we called several times only to be put on hold for 5 minutes!!!!! What a waste - I normally wouldn't spend time writing this but I want to warn others.

I bought this item months ago and it wasn't sealed. I didn't surprise when I received it as I thought it's a normal case and I wasn't planning to sell it. Anyway 3 weeks ago, but I surprised that it's not working and after checking I found out that it was used in Sony Camera because there are files for a camera.My advice to check and ensure that the memory is sealed with no scratches. Thanks!

The photo posted is not of the card sold. The picturd card has a 60mb/s speed and 400x. The card sold is correctly described in the item details. It is a 45mb/s 300x card. I found this frustrating and misleading. I compared the picture of the product which boasted higher speeds than the actual item to make my selection. I went as far as to return the first item shipped to me because it did not match the image before I discovered the description differed.

Make sure you check the actual size of the disk. I ordered a 64GB. When I went to format the disk, it only had 28 GB space (so it was probably a 32 GB disk)...despite the label saying 64GB. Thankfully Amazon is replacing this...but check your format size! I almost wouldn't have noticed, except I was making sure pictures were loading properly before I went on vacation (where I will be taking lots of photos).

The 1st time I ordered this Flashcard I formatted it in my camera, took random sample pictures & while trying to download the pictures on my computer it said I must format it before using & doing so would loose all my pictures. That was fine since they were only sample pics anyway.Did so & back into my camera for more sample pictures & the same error message came up. This occurred a few times, couldn't get past the mustformat message. I went to return it to exchange for a new one & the same thing happened with the second card. Didn't want to take a chance on a 3rd card. Always take random sample pictures with any new Flash card a couple times to make sure it's not damaged. On a positive note, the return was super easy & didn't cost me anything.

Used half the card, downloaded photos/videos and all was fine. 2nd time I went to download, it gave me an error on every computer and with every device I tried to use to download with. Bought this brand once before, that time it worked well. This time, I sadly lost all my pix & videos. I'm told this CAN happen with any brand but it makes me leery to buy this brand again because I've never had an issue with SanDisk or Kingston.

It was working fine for about a month. Then one day, when I was uploading photos onto one of my devices, an error message popped up saying either the memory card is blank or it contains unsupported files. I tried on different devices, the same message showed up over and over again. I lost a bunch of photos.Before this incident, I have never had any problem with memory card.
