This review is from: Sony MCS1 PhotoVault Mini CD-R Station (Electronics)

This little device is absolutely wonderful in that you will never run out of memory for your Sony camera. This machine burns the pictures from your memory sticks directly onto a mini cd-r which is in the little machine. It runs on AC or on batteries(not supplied). Why you could even hook up the vault to a TV and show a picture slide show, without a computer. A little pricy due to having Sony's name. It is well worth the money. Sony lives up to their reputation.
The only 2 things I don't like is that there is no case and the LCD screen is very hard to see. A strong light is needed. The next model of the "Photo Vault" will for sure have a small light built into the LCD. I highly recomend this item. Also included in the box are a video cable, a blank cd-r and a AC adapter and of course a instruction manual. Well worth the investment!!!!!
