Good vertical stand for anything up to about 2.5 inches thick
I am using one of these now as a vertical stand for my Zotac Zbox "BI" model small computer, which is about 2 inches thick, and it is perfect for that. (It nicely avoids blocking the Zbox's ventillation holes, which is an added plus.) I think that, as a vertical equipment stand, this could accomodate anything up to about 2.5 inches in thickness, as long as the equipment in question isn't too awfully heavy.
I just wish that they were available direct from Ikea, like for $2, which is what some people apparently got them for.

The bigger ones (32GB, 64GB, 128GB) are faster than the smallest one (16GB)
1 of 1 found this helpful I now own several of these Sandisk Flairs in several different capacities... two of the 16GB, one of the 32GB and one of the 128GB. I like them a lot because of the styling... just small enough not to block other nearby USB ports,, but not too small to be able to handle easily... but also because they are indeed quite fast. But as I learned, the 16GB model is made with a different controller, which makes it significantly slower than the higher capacity ones. So if you are considering these, I suggest passing on the 16GB one and getting one of the higher capacity ones, i.e. 32GB or 64GB or 128GB. These ones are REALLY fast. I timed it, and on the higher capacity ones, I can write a 1 GiB file to the things in about 20 seconds. That's excellent.

sp-570UZ - Excelent "bridge" camera with a hotshoe
1 of 1 found this helpful The good:
Small, but weighty. Feels solidly built, and has nice ergonomics. Feels very comfortable in one's hand. Unlike the vast majority of "bridge" cameras these days, including almost all of the other Olympus SP series cameras, this one (570 only) has a hotshoe, allowing you to use a separate flash and (thus) also allowing you to BOUNCE the flash. (If you know ANYTHING about photographic lighting, you know that bounce flash is vastly superior to straight-on flash. There's just no comparison.) Uses standard AA batteries - very convenient and much cheaper than proprietary batteries used by many other bridge cameras. Price is great - you can pick up a good used one of these puppies on eBay these days for about two hundred bucks, give or take. That get's you a nice modern 10mp / 20x (optical) zoom camera with image stabilization, and most other bells & whistles commonly available in modern digital zooms (e.g. viewfinder... albeit a digital one rather than optical... histograms, video recording, etc). Also, most standard & optional accessories for this camera are readily available (and inexpensive) on eBay.
The bad:
Lens isn't threaded - no easy way to add filters (e.g. UV, polarizer) unless you also buy one of the CLA-10 adapter knock-offs on eBay (about $20) and even then, you can only use the filters at the long end of the zoom range, elsewise you'll get vignetting. (Of course, you can always just manually HOLD big enough filters out in front of the lens as you shoot. Not very professional looking, but it works.) Big zoom ring on the lens barrel is nicer than the dinky tight/wide toggle found on many less expensive digital cameras, but unlike on the Fujifilm bridge cameras, the Olympus zoom rings are "fly-by-wire" rather than manually linked, which makes them rather jerky. Not really a big deal, but just slightly annoying. Takes xD picture cards, rather than the more common SD/SDHC cards, but that's not really much of an issue either. (Currently, a 2GB type M+ xD card is widely available for about $17.)
All in all, a very likable modern bridge camera. If you can pick up a good used one of these on eBay (with all standard accessories) for two hundred, give or take (as of Mar/2010), then go for it. You won't be sorry. (Original retail when this camera first came out was $499.)
P.S. The Fujifilm bridge cameras are quite nice too - most/all of them have threaded lenses (for filters) and many/most have hotshoes, but you'll get a bit more bang-for-the-buck, feature-wise, with the Olympus SP line, relative to the Fujifilm bridge line (e.g. more megapixels, greater zoom range, etc).
