    Great video! Thank you for taking the time to test all those. One note to anyone buying a generic 18 in 1 card reader... Test them on a card you don't care about. One I bought smoked my card 😡 and then stopped working all together. (Ahhh the joys of knockoff garbage)

      Thanks. Unlucky about the card but a good point to remember.

    Hi, I recently bought a Sony CyberShot DSC P50 and it has one of those older purple Sony memory cards and it doesn't work when I plug it from my camera to my laptop. So I was wondering would a multi card reader work for my Windows 11?

      Hi in the video I cover this. I also mention which card reader works.

    hi! i got a canon a540 and it came with a 16 mb multimedia card and im not sure what card reader can be used with it to get the photos off of it-do you have any suggestions?

    • @RetroGadgetMan
      @RetroGadgetMan  3 дня назад

      The camera itself is a card reader. Plug it into your pc with the usb cable. Windows or Mac os may recognise it as a hard drive.

    I have an old Sony handicam DCR- TRV11E that I have bought a memory stick adapter for - I’m wondering can I put in a SD card in and it will work or is it too big for the camera ?

    • @RetroGadgetMan
      @RetroGadgetMan  2 месяца назад

      You can put a micro SD card into an unbranded memory stick adapter to convert the physical size. The TRV-11 will probably not read anything above 256mb. If it is capable to record video to memory stick it will only be 320x240 screen resolution at best. It's primary form stills.

    My grandmas old camera uses a different kind of cable and not the usb mini, I need one that is quite wide and much more thin? Do you have any idea what cable that would be ?

    • @RetroGadgetMan

      If you type in on Google "usb types" it will show you images of all the different types of usb cables. Then you can identify it.

      Hi I have just tried my DSC P73 which is close to your P71 and it doesn't work on win 10 or win 11. The Sony card reader that I mention in the video does work with both said operating systems.

    I have a sony cyber shot dsc w110 with a sony memory stick pro duo. I am aware that windows 10 and after couldn’t read ms pro duo, so I tried transferring the files by connecting the camera with my computer (with windows 11) and the drive was empty even though photos are still visible in the camera.
    Does this mean that windows 10 and over will never be able to detect content in ms pro duo even by connecting camera with usb cable?

      Hi it's not the memory stick itself that they cannot read. Its the fact that there is no driver support for most off the older cameras. In this video I mention which card reader you need. I am not sure why you can't see the pictures in the computer. Is the camera showing up as a drive letter? Are you selecting that drive letter.
