They're designed specifically to help advanced amateur or professional photographers get the best performance from their high-end imaging devices and applications.

No matter how fast you work, the Elite Pro can keep pace with its ultra-fast transfer rates. 2 GB capacity means you can capture more continuous, high-resolution images in less time with the Elite Pro than with traditional CompactFlash memory cards.

Just bought this CF card a few days ago. Satisfied with the speed, used with my D70, shooting raw with 3FPS with little recovery time. Much improvement from my 1 GB Sandisk.

The speed also a big plus.

2.0 out of 5 stars Card died at a crucial moment, September 13, 2005

This review is from: Kingston CF/2GB-S 2 GB ElitePro CompactFlash Card (Retail Package) (Personal Computers)

I paid a lot of $$$ for this card and expected it to be hassle-free during a trip to Ireland. After I had filled about 1.1 GB on the card it suddently refused to work and my camera would no longer recognize the card. I had to use other cards, and my amount of storage was drastically reduced because I lost those 900MB.
However, once I got home the pictures could be retrieved by using a card reader. Somehow about 50 strange folders with jumbled characters had been written to the card, causing the problems (not a camera problem, the card was the problem).

This card was noticeably faster than my other Kingston 1GB "standard" card, however it was slower than the SanDisk Ultra cards that I brought. I was not pleased with the write speed of any of my kingston cards.

I love the memory size of the card but however when you want to shoot withing a very shot time frame, the card is slow. An excellent example would be a birthday party. You take a snap and want to take the next one, you may have to wait at times and you may end up losing the shot. (Initially I thought it was okay but when it kept repeating I felt a bit disappointed) I have the SanDisk Ultra II 1 GB and it has never had a delay. I would used this card for situations where I have plenty of time between shots. Maybe a still life..
