I bought this and a SanDisk Ultra II, and I can't tell the difference between them in my Rebel XTi, even when shooting sports in burst mode. Excellent value and performance.

I actually bought this for my digital effects processor for my guitar to store recordings on it. It works great for that. I also tried it out in my camera and it works great for that as well. Can't beat it for the price.

I purchased this item before a trip to London, for my new Canon EOS digital SLR. The CompactFlash card worked perfectly, it will store more than 450 high quality digital photos. It's fantastic having the flexibility to take as many photos as I wanted, and each evening I uploaded the photos to my laptop. The card has more than enough memory for even the most avid photographer. What an excellent price, too. This isn't the first Kingston product I've purchased, and I've yet to be disappointed.

Having purchased one of these cards in mid 2008 for my Nikon 990 I was quite surprised when the two I ordered December 2008 arrived and did not work in my camera. Kingston replaced them on the assumption something had happened to them but the replacements had the same problem. The camera would not see them. To make a very long story short, it was determined that the controller in the current CF cards is no longer compatible with the Nikon 900 series cameras. The camera can write to the CF card but the computer never sees the data. And data added on the computer is not seen by the camera. Kingston no longer has any CF cards using the older controller. I have asked them to remove the information on their website saying these work on that series camera and asked Amazon for a refund since Kingston is unable to give me working CF cards. While my older 2GB CF works just fine, you should avoid any recent vintage Kingston CF cards if you have a Nikon 900 series digital camera - or make sure you can return them if they have the newer controller. It's too bad as they made a good product uselss for cameras still in use.

I use this brand of CF card when shooting professional photos for an online magazine. They have never let me down yet and I take 1,000+ photos per session.

Great product. Able yo use camera without changing card often. Helped to store loads more photos while on holiday.

We love the size and the price attached. Now we never have to worry about running out of space on our camera and we use a lot more video clips.

I use this media to save audio on my drum machine, a mpc 2000xl mcd. I wasn't sure if this size card and brand would work but it did, however I did lose 1gb of space what I formated the card on my mpc

See if you can get something like this for the same price anywhere else. It does its job just fine, and the value is outstanding.

I bought two of these card because of the price. I typical buy SanDisk Ultras. But I thought this would be a better deal.

I was wrong

The first card was working find without problems. I have many photos on in. But something happened and when I put in the card reader it now says the disk is corrupt. I was able to finally open the card but many of the images have green, blue and pink bars on them. These were images I had taken weeks ago.

My second disk has one of my best photos now showing a gray bar half way on it. And when I shoot a picture, the image will not transfer to my Mac. It is not the camera, put one of my trusty SanDisks in and it worked fine.

I'm very upset because many of my photos were from a big special event and now they are lost.
