Took this to Europe and after taking more than 200 pictures I got an error and could no longer access the pictures. Luckily I was able to recover the pics with some recovery software. Never had this issue with any other card I've used so I'm guessing it was a problem with the card. Beware.

With every roll I shoot there are several photos that are missing or labeled (UNABLE TO READ) also known as corrupted files. I paid $200 for this card in August of 2006, when 4GB cards were more expensive. I used it with my Canon EOS 5D and EOS 20D, and card reader, there is always some data missing. If you travel and you need to be able to download ALL the photos you shot, as precious moments come only once!! -then DO NOT USE this card, even if it was given to you for free--Try Sandisk Flash cards instead or Sandisk ultra II-they never failed me.

Took photos on trip to Iceland, after return could not download more than half. Formatted the card, but on the next trip to Guatemala, same thing, more than half photos are "unable to read". If you value your memories, or need the shoots for work, get any other card than this. I have 5 cards total, different brands, and none of the others ever had problem.

Just got this card for Christmas and my camera won't read it, even though it says it should work for my camera model. Cheap media, a complete waste of money. Can't send it back for refund because Dane-Elec considers this to be a "consumable" item and won't refund it unless the package is unopened. This card and company are a serious ripoff.

brand new media card - camera doesn't recognize it, computer doesn't recognize it, CF media player doesn't recognize it... never had a problem with any other brand but Dane-Elec. their customer support was non-existent, despite e-mails and phone calls (forever on hold). am planning on returning this to amazon, maybe they'll decide not to carry this product anymore.

I've used this card for over a year. I've shot weddings, models, balls ... you name it, I've done it. I've never ever had any of the problems in the other reviews. It's a little slow every now and then, but works just fine.
