Product Description
Sharp has taken its Digital Viewcam series a step further...or a step smaller. The VL-SD20U offers the same exceptional video and audio quality as other Digital ViewCam models, but in an amazingly compact size that fits in the palm of your hand. This LCD Digital Viewcam brings together the sterling quality of digital video production and the easy-to-use functionality. Sharp's LCD Digital Viewcams bring together the sterling quality of digital video production and the easy to use functionality of popular Viewcam series. Digital technology gives you high quality video with faithful color reproduction without blurring, smudging or noise. Images are more precise and stable. Digital information can be stored for longer periods of time and can be viewed more often without deterioration. In addition, PCM Digital Stereo Recording gives you advanced, DAT quality sound. The new backlight compensation adjusts only the dark parts of a shot to optimal brightness levels, and leaves the bright sections untouched, so they don't become glaringly washed out. The Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) circuit senses movement of the user holding the camera and helps to reduce image shake and jitter, delivering a more stable picture. All Viewcam view screens are coated with a special resin that reduces fingerprints. To clean view screen just use a clean, soft clot. Moreover the screen can rotate 270 degrees adding more convenience to the camcorder.

Is this being discontinued?.......2003-09-29

I bought this Peerless backup system and some extra tapes in Dec 2001 from Amazon. I have been satisfied with the product. We use it to back up 5 computers every week. Recently the tape would not eject from the drive. AFter email discussion with Iomega reps, I determined it was not a software problem. I decided to buy an additional unit to use since removing the tape with a paperclip each time is a hassle. It appears this system is being discontinued. You can no longer buy tapes from the maker (Iomega)and the bundles are scarce. I think soon you will not be able to buy them anywhere. I like the system and have bought 2 bundles as backup. If you like this item, better stock up now.

Greatest Backup Device Ever!!.......2002-08-16

This new peerless is easy to install and use, it's speed is fairly fast with USB 1.1 and will no doubt be even faster with USB 2.0 when it becomes widely available. A 7GB back-up of my entire Hard Drive took only 110 min with my USB 1.1 connection. As I understand it; changing to a firewire interface will require only the replacement of the base unit. The receptacle and Disks can be used with any base. I disconnected my tape back-up drives and put them in storage!!!

A new base station every time? NO THANKS..........2001-12-09

So, I just bought this (...), and I managed to get the entire bundle (base station, 20g drive) for the price of the drive alone. (...) Nonetheless, I was under the impression that I could slide the drive out of the base station, and with usb cable, plug into any other computer. WRONG. You need a new base station for every computer you intend to access the drive from. (...). I would advise that it is useful ONLY if you're going to operate it from a single computer. Otherwise, there are other products out there for less, that are far more useful.

worth the money... if..........2001-10-11

I was one of the first people I know to buy these, and I still had to think long and hard about it. The price is a little prohibitive, but I've had good luck with iomega products in the past, so I went for it. It installed right off the bat, no problems. NOTE: you cannot use any other iomega products unless they are USB once you have installled this!!! I've swapped it back and forth between my desktop, my dads desktop, as well as my laptop, and its worked like a charm each time. Now you can buy the different bases, which means you can quickly grab the entire unit to switch between computers. But the real value of this product won't be realized (and this is why I gave it only 3 stars) until such time as they start releasing the drives at a lower price, or until they allow others to release compatable drives. $10/gig is well above market price for hard drives, tho I probably wouldn't blink at about half that. Over all I don't regret this purchase, but I'm still hesitant to commit to it fully as a backup product

Outstanding product!.......2001-10-05

I purchased the Peerless, with 20 Gb storage, for general backup for my business Dell Latitude notebook computer and storage of personal files.

The Peerless installed very easily ... very simple install directions ... and quickly. I was backing my files up within the half hour. Absolutely works just like another drive on my system!

Kinda wishing I had more than one USB interface ... sharing with my digital camera memory card interface, Pocket PC interface and, now, Peerless. Guess I need a docking station now!

Well worth the $$ spent!!
