Nikon D90 V.S The Nikon D300 Digital SLR Camera

The Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera has the same sensor (or greatly similar depending on the source) as the Nikon D300 , it also shares the same great ISO capabilities. Combine that with any new Nikon VR lenses and you can shoot in low light at ridiculously slow shutter speeds.

5 Stars The best DVDs on the market
Verbatim makes the best DVDs I’ve ever tried. Yes, they’re a little harder to find (you usually can only purchase them online) and they’re a little more expensive, but they’re the best. I’ve tried other DVDs and found either that I get errors when I burn something to them, or one of my DVD players won’t play them. I’ve never had that happen with these discs.

5 Stars Works Perfectly with SATA DVD Burner
Let me start out by saying that I could NEVER burn a Memorex or any brand DL disk when using an IDE DVD burner (tried 3 different brands of burner). Single layer was fine. I’m not sure why, but I’m guessing there was some limitations in the IDE bus on my motherboard and it was corrupting the data when it came to DL disks. My computer would freeze for a moment and then I’d get an error message of some sort. I tried dozens of different burning software and nothing worked until going to a SATA drive. So if your having trouble burning DL disks try upgrading to a SATA DVD burner.

I finally got a basic level LG SATA drive and all my problems were solved. I’ve yet to have a bad burn or any coasters that were caused by a bad disk. These Memorex work fine for me and I’ve used both the 8x and 2.4x versions. I don’t notice any difference between the quality of burn with the 8x vs the 2.4x. All the disks work in my PS3 perfectly. I obviously prefer the 8x due to the time difference it takes to burn a disk but you can get the 2.4x cheaper so I tend to buy them. I also believe that a slower burn will give you a better burned DVD that is likely to have less issues when playing back. But, like I said I haven’t had any issues with the 8x and the PS3.

I don’t think for long term storage of critical data you would want to use a DL disk due to it being more complex in nature and more likely to have issues or fail as it ages. For pure data backups, I use Taiyo Yunden DVD-Rs.

5 Stars Best DL media period.
This is the only DL media I have had consistent success with - out of 50+ burns I’ve had one failure - and I think it was my computer’s fault. These DVD’s play in any DVD player I’ve tried except 1 really old one.

Also, they do burn at 8x, even though they are stamped at 2.4x

5 Stars Good quality dual layer DVDs
They served the purpose, and did not give me any errors during burning.

I about filled up the disk too since I was backing up Mass Effect (I purchased a digital download of the game and it is 8 gigs in size). This was the main reason to buy these disks, and they worked like a charm.
