I bought this card from Dell
I worried once because some complain it don't work
then I learned the card supports FAT32 ONLY, then I did a test on my pda (HP HX2415), format the existing card to FAT32, found the pda supports, and bought
I found the card works perfectly with my pdas (HP HX2415 and Dell Axim X50v), no problem so far
MUST READ:
before buying this 4GB card, you need to do a file system compatibility test
you need to save the card's content onto host, then format the card to FAT32 format, then put the card into the device
if the device can use the card right away without formatting, you'll be file

Very fast access, which is very important I think since sometimes the scene will not wait for you. 4G capacity almost enough for one day shooting by taking about 400 raw images for my XTi.

This review is coming from a novice SLR user. I have the Canon Rebel XT and use the Kingston 4GB flash card. It was a great priced item (I bought it when it was $39.99) and the quality of pictures it stores (S, M, or L) are excellent. That, and regardless of the resolution setting, I get almost unlimited photos(at it's highest resolution I still get over 799 images on the card). I've only had one or two issues with corrupted or lost images. However, I've taken over 700 photos over the past month. If you look at it this way, I've taken around 698/700 which is 99.7% success rating... not too shabby. For a beginner in digital SLR photography, this is a great card to have.

I have two CF cards from Kingston, both from the ElitePro line-up. I was happy with the first one and bought this 4GB card for that reason. I haven't been concerned with the 45X speed, it seems to keep up well with my Canon Rebel XT. It might be nice to have a faster card for action shots, but then again, for the price, you can't touch the value of this card.

I like having my Kingston 4gb in my D200 as it gives me a hell of a lot more photos to take than my 1gb did at the best quality. I have not had any problems with it although I have heard there is sometimes writting problems with Kingston cards but for the money that i guess is a risk i am willing to take. For the price though it has shown to be above and beyond in its performance (as I compare it to my 1gb Lexar 80x) If I had the money I would have bought the best kind in my mind but my friend who uses only kingston suggested that I try one as they are well priced for their capacities. So I did and I have not had any problems yet and if need be I might buy another one of these cards in the future.

I purchased this flash card to take on vacation so that I would have enough room for all of the pictures I planned to take. I had no problems at all with the card, with the images it produced, or any transfers. I used the card in a Nikon 8800, and now use it as my primary memory. I recommend this card to anyone for its high quality, and low price. It is a good value.

I use this with my Canon Rebel Xti, shooting in RAW. That means the files are pretty large. I shoot children's portraits, and many times I have to shoot many shots in a row, and this card can only handle so much of that before it stops to catch up. When I bought this, I didn't know that the speed (45x) mattered, but now I do. If you're shooting lots of shots quickly, go for a faster card. That said, I've never lost information on this card, and like it for slower shoots.

I bought this for a canon rebel, it is not as fast as I would like, but I am not sure if this issue comes from the camera, if you buy for a canon rebel, maybe you need to look for another fastest memory ..

this was attractively priced and has worked wonderfully so far in my new camera. no problems. using it in a Canon EOS Rebel XTi.

Just as described ,the product arrived in a timely way and was packaged with great care.
