I just got this card this morning and did some quick tests using my Nikon D80 and my AIT internal multicard reader

Shooting FPS in the Nikon between this and my existing SanDisk Extreme III 2 Gig was identical, they both gave me the full 3 FPS in JPG FINE Large mode. This card gave me 536 frames in Large JPG Fine and 330 in NEF RAW (so I am very happy). The SanDisk gave me 264 and 163 respectively.

I did some unscientific test with a 92 Meg file and a stop watch copying a file around and this is what I got:

ATP Write: 11.281 sec
SanDisk Write: 12.375 Sec

ATP Read: 7.657 sec
SanDisk Read:6.750 sec

The results were what I expected given the performance in the camera.

The only thing I can't comment on is long term stability, but so far this is a fantastic value.

Looked at the common name brands - Sandisk, Lexar, etc. Found this one in a review of SDHC cards as the #1 for capacity, speed, and price. I agree.

This review would be for the ATP Pro Max 4GB card. However, after 3 attempts, I have yet to receive a working card. I purchased this as part of a camera package from another vendor, and received the ATP card.

Out of the box, the card does not format with 2 different cameras, nor a laptop. After contacting ATP and paying for shipping back to them, they sent another card, which again does not work. Third time is the charm, but alas, the card did format and I was able to take pictures, but now it is frozen and I cannot view, retrieve, browse the pictures, nor can I format the card. Again, I need to spend money on shipping to send them a defective product back.

This is extremely low quality memory from a company that offers poor support and has an awful warranty policy.
